I'm fairly certain that your uber-geek status was never in danger, but it never hurts to reaffirm old habits :)
Really, I should just learn to start writing and edit *later*. I know we already spoke about this today, but reading this post reminded me of your thesis of doom, and how too much academic writing has stifled my creative impulses. Even with my fic, I find myself panicking when I can't reference something I've added, just waiting for Peckmann to demand my citations for that fact.
Be careful with wikipedia, though. If you compare what it says about Jack's medals on his wikipedia entry to what it says about them on his Stargate wiki entry, they don't match up.
wikipedia: "It should be noted that three silver Oak leaf clusters on the Air Force longevity service ribbon amounts to sixty-four years of service. Also, though he has been wounded in battle multiple times, he has not received the purple heart."
...Whereas Stargate wiki has a picture of the medals on wall of Jack's office,a dn one of them is a purple heart.
