Minor contributor, mainly here to make sure that "renown" is spelled without a "k" :-).

I'm following in the footsteps of my hero, Stan Kelly-Bootle, compiler of various dictionaries of computer terms and jargon, particularly The Computer Contradictionary.

"Nickel Knowledge" is my father-in-law's phrase for the little tidbits of knowledge everyone has floating around in their memory, which is occasionally useful. A nickel is, for people outside the USA, a very small amount of money. However, the beauty of Wikipedia is that when thousands add their little bit, we all wind up with something amazing.

Hurray for Wikipedia: I'm just tickled pink for discovering that I share my birthday with Screaming Lord Sutch!

N: there's still one occurence of "fermented" on Oolong. I won't change it since I don't known the difference (don't meddle with things you don't understand). Perhaps a page about Fermentation vs. Oxidation should be written since it seems a common misconception. --Robbe
