[edit] General Info

Gerard guards this page against vandals.
Gerard guards this page against vandals.
  • Hi. I'm Bratsche. Some call me Ben. You can try either; I'll get back to you after the beep.
  • I'm a student, who likes to read and fix mistakes. Wikipedia just fulfills my editorial cravings.
  • Since I don't have much in-depth knowledge of any one subject, but rather a mind full of trivia, I'm on a personal mission to destroy vandalism, delete nonsense and do basic janitorial work with my mop.
  • By the way, Bratsche means viola in German, my musical instrument of choice
  • I recently achieved a Wikipediholic test score of 237, making me "fatally addicted".
  • I am an Eagle Scout, a proud accomplishment.
  • Feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you need any help, have any questions, or just want to chat.

[edit] Missions

  • I have a mission to help with as many Wiki Fixup Projects as I can. They usually give me a quick Wikifix during the day.
    • Actually, the random page button is really nice to use too, in order to find needy articles
  • Currently watching: Special:Recentchanges. Back on RC patrol. Using CryptoDerk's Vandal Fighter.
  • You know, the above are hopelessly outdated. So, FYI, I mostly work on Esperanza, the organization for Wikipedians and doing menial admin tasks.

[edit] A Poem and More

Echoing silence
Darkness lit up by beams
Light
Seeking its counterpart
In melody
Stillness
Striving for liberations
In a word
Life
In dust
In shadow
How seldom growth and blossom
How seldom fruit
-Dag Hammarskjöld

[edit] Are You A Member of the AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTD?

This user is a member of the Association of Wikipedians Who Dislike Making Broad Judgements About the Worthiness of a General Category of Article, and Who Are In Favor of the Deletion of Some Particularly Bad Articles, but That Doesn't Mean They are Deletionist
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.

Picture of the day
Mexican Wolf

A captive Mexican Wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico, USA. This critically endangered subspecies of the Gray Wolf once ranged from central Mexico to the Southwestern United States. In 1980, the last five known surviving members were captured to save the species. Now, over 300 wolves are taking part in a wolf reintroduction program, with at least fifty individuals in the wild.
