[edit] Editors I respect
Although millions of people visit Wikipedia each day, studies have shown the core of Wikipedia is written and maintained by an tight-nit and surprisingly well organized community of around 3-4 thousand editors, and about a thousand administrators. Among those, a few rise to the top as elite Wikipedians and who have earned my respect and the respect of the community at large. Some of them skillfully moderate deletion debates, others spread Wikilove and help newbies, some conduct scholarly research and others are ever present on Wikipedia's IRC channel ready to engage with the community and lend a helping hand. In different ways they have all been major contributors to the success of Wikipeida. Among them are:
- User:Everyking
- User:Mike Rosoft
- User:Michael Snow
- User talk:Gracenotes
- User:Samuel Blanning
- User:SlimVirgin
- User:MER-C
- User:Can't sleep, clown will eat me

[edit] Every article is important
Heres on simple reason: Google. Wikipedia articles of all types climb to the top of Google search results.
- Well-edited articles on core topics (God, Jesus, Chemistry, Internet) top results because they provide key facts, overviews, and unbiased coverage on an easy to read page.
- Mid importance topics still come close to top for the same reasons.
- Smaller articles on obscure topics top results because they are the only pages on the internet dedicated to the subject.
- Crap articles will quickly top Google searches within a day or two and will also appear on mirror sites: thus the need for recent page patrolling and speedy deletion.
- Even redirects get linked onto Google.
[edit] To Do
- God and the New Physics - expand out of stub
- Winslow Chemical Laboratory - possible article to make
- The Large, the Small, and the Human Mind - article to make

Suspected Sockpuppets of Stevenkray (talk · contribs) and/or his promoters:
"Kray's drumming is distinguished by heavy hitting, extraordinary limb independence, complex cross-sticking patterns, and an impressive command of tonal and volume range" - I always get a kick out of that sentence, which is still remains from the merge of the original article into Tin Foil Phoenix.
