¡Hola! I'm WhyBeNormal. *wave*

I'm an 18 year-old dork from Ohio. I mostly fix things by improving formatting, reverting vandalism and making copy-edits, so you'll see a lot of minor edits on my contributions page.

If you happen to notice any mistakes in grammar, spelling, punctuation etc. on my userpage, feel free to edit it. I'd appreciate it. Or, if you just feel like adding/changing something, go right ahead.

Also, if I have done something wrong, I would really appreciate it if you'd let me know.

[edit] Test Area
My own little sandbox. You can use it too, if you'd like. I don't mind. :·)

[edit] Facts 'n Tidbits about Me

  • I like uncommon words; "sobriquet" and "esoteric" are my favorite words. "Iconoclast" is nice too.
  • I like ampersands.
  • Politically, I consider myself left-of-center. I'm usually moderate, though I do have a few not-so-moderate views.
  • I'm an atheist.
  • I am also a freethinker, though I don't really like that word. It sounds kinda flower child-ish, y'know?

AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTD

The motto of the AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTD is Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet, which translates to, "it is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia." This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.

The motto of the AIW is Conservata veritate, which translates to, "With the preserved truth" This motto reflects the inclusionist desire to change Wikipedia only when no knowledge would be lost as a result.
