Notes

  • I will no longer be fighting one-man, long-term campaigns against vandalism, ignorance, stupidity, corporate interests, anti-corporrate interests, anti-government intersts, nationalistic pride, anti-Western bias, anti-American language bias, inaccuracy, falsehoods, and just plain contentious interpretations. I will remove/tag such garbage on the first sight, ask for help on the second occurance, and perhaps even ask for admin intervention after that. But without support - especially admin support - I will not try to fix Wikipedia's damaged reputation as being a haven for mis-information and vandals on my own - it's not worth the stress. I'm sorry it has come to this, but we all have to recognize our limits, and this is mine.
  • Another group I'm tired of fighting is the semi-literate English speakers. I'm tired of people without much education who misuse words, and then treat me like I'm the one who's stupid (whoever they are, whereever they are from, and whatever their ethnicity or nationality). If Jim Wales wants a literate encyclopedia, one which can help educate, not dumb down, then he can start making it easier for us to uphold the language. I'm not going to do that for him when he and his minions don't back us up. Again, I have limits, and I can't fight a one-man battle against semi-literacy.

Thanks.

The Resilient Barnstar
I, Chrislk02, award you this resilient barnstar for your hard work and your ability to work through issues in a calm and collected manner. It can be frustrating but you do an excellent job of doing things right, and you ought to be commended (Which I am doing here!) -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 17:54, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
The Minor Barnstar
Minor Barnstar for vigilantly reverting vandalism attempts to the United States Air Force page. Grethko 18:37, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Smile a little, smile a little, all along the road;
Every life must have its burden, every heart its load.
Why sit down in gloom and darkness with your grief to sup?
As you drink Fate's bitter tonic, smile across the cup.

Smile upon the troubled pilgrims whom you pass and meet;
Frowns are thorns, and smiles are blossoms, oft for weary feet.
Do not make the way seem harder by a sullen face;
Smile a little, smile a little, brighten up the place.

Smile upon your undone labour; not for one who grieves
O'er his task waits wealth or glory; he who smiles achieves.
Though you meet with loss and sorrow in the passing years,
Smile a little, smile a little... even through your tears!

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Have a beautiful day, my dear Bill! :)
