Approach to being a WP contributing editor El C/Journals El C/he

Schrödinger's cat on moving day, contemplating essence, and tuna!

Around the shed, looking; eyes are blue due to some optical effect

OiHA is here, to serve YOU?

Time to pet!

You really think cats have magical powers? RickK 06:50, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)

Please don't dominate the rap, Jack
If you got nothing new to say
If you please, don't back up the track
This train's got to run today

I spent a little time in the mountain
Spent a little time on the hill
I heard some say "better run away"
Others say "better stand still"

Now I don't know but I've been told
It's hard to run with the weight of gold
Other hand I heard it said
It's just as hard with the weight of lead

Who can deny? Who can deny?
It's not just a change in style
One step done and another begun
In I wonder how many miles?

I spent a little time on the mountain
Spent a little time on the hill
Things went down we don't understand
But I think in time we will

Now I don't know but I was told
In the heat of the sun a man died of cold
Do we keep on coming or stand and wait
With the sun so dark and the hour so late?

You can't overlook the lack Jack
Of any other highway to ride
It's got no signs or dividing lines
And very few rules to guide

I spent a little time on the mountain
Spent a little time on the hill
I saw things getting out of hand
I guess they always will

Now, I don't know but I've been told
If the horse don't pull, you got to carry the load
I don't know whose back's that strong
Maybe find out before too long

One way or another
One way or another
One way or another
This darkness got to give

Self-awards (including sockpuppets): I am ...

Of course, against ultranationalism ... This Defender of the Wiki Barnstar is awarded by User:Tabib for El C's role in Azerbaijan entry. Tabib 11:37, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Actually not-funny, but thanks! ... It's my privilege to award you the Barnstar of Good Humor, which is awarded to "particularly light-spirited Wikipedians who, by their unshakably good humor, consistently and reliably lighten the mood, defuse conflicts, and make the Wikipedia a generally better place to be," which describes you perfectly.

Not in need of absolution, but thanks! ... I hereby award you this plenary indulgence for reasons that we both know. — Essjay talk 09:04, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

A proponent of flopsy bunnies, and although still uncertain as to the meaning of the word flopsy, esp. in favour of its usage! ...

FeloniousMonk 20:36, 26 August 2005 (UTC) It is only appropriate that an original "rouge admin" be awarded this badge of honor. Without your dilligent efforts, there would be no rouge admins.

It's a great honour, thank you! EI_C 03:34, 28 August 2005
