Wikipedia allows him to re-engage many, many, many subjects constructively (and to cultivate a spirit of 'giving back' or 'paying forward' through Wikipedia efforts). He had spent nearly nine months researching and archiving the entire set of published writings of the late '''Professor [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Eisenberg Leon Eisenberg], MD''', whom he had supported from 1999 through Dr. Eisenberg's death in mid-September 2009.

He also volunteers in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_health community health] and development programs in the nearby community, where he lives. He is both site manager for the weekly Fair Foods $2 Bag of produce distributions in his neighborhood and publicist and volunteer coordinator for a number of the other Fair Foods produce distribution sites, an effort which is so far fully consistent with his strong position as an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veganism#Ethical_veganism ethical vegan].<ref>[http://FairFoods.org Fair Foods $2 Bag of produce distribution sites]</ref> He will eat [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryote eukaryotes] such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungus fungi] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant plants], but neither [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_rights animals] nor their parts. Further, in his [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veganism#Ethical_veganism ethical vegan] position, more than dietary description are conceptually (and intentionally) significant; compliance with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veganism#Ethical_veganism ethical vegan] diet is necessary but not sufficient to exemplify the values of his [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veganism#Ethical_veganism ethical vegan] position (which is logically and morally prior to many popular ethical prescriptions, which his position describes as either fluff or undesirable). In addition, those who want to measure his practice by an objective standard of human personal health should first aggressively invest a majority of their own personal energy in abolishing the production of tobacco globally. Then they should join the temperance movement and abolish the production of alcoholic recreational beverages. Then they can measure the dietary contributions to any one individual's personal health. Otherwise, we're discussing population health statistically.

Metrics for Wikipedia editors may not be fully automated, so one's individually gathering data on one's work can be challenging. One's counting the number of articles, graphics contributed, or other work done on any of the Wikipedia projects can be daunting for long-time Wikipedians. And once data is gathered, "it get's old" as soon as one begins another project or set of projects. What has been automated is the number of edits and the number of files uploaded. We now need a program pull that data across the projects into one's userpages.
