Attention: This section is still under construction!
Userpages I designed: I also, if requested, design talk pages as well along with userpages as a set. Currently, I am not taking requests, as summer is a busy season for me.

"...That is my duty. There may be a higher duty, perhaps — but that is mine." —Walter Blythe, "Rilla of Ingleside"
"In stark terms, Wikipedia is one of the single most important undertakings in human history. If we do our job, future generations will look upon Wikipedia as the cornerstone of the information revolution. If we don't, the world will lose a tremendous resource. And that is why I'm here." —Philwelch
"This is a Wiki. To make this project work EVERYONE must buy into the idea that this is a collaborative effort. No individual should ever take authorship credit...It was a collective effort. I contributed the large majority of effort into creating and editing a list that made it to featured list status, but that still does not make me the author. Even if I was the only editor of a featured or good articles, others will edit them in the future. I think of myself more as a guardian or fascilitator of the article." —Samuel Wantman
Wikipedia wants people to BE BOLD! If you see something that needs edited, feel free to implement the changes yourself, for this is how wikis function. It is through the success of collaboration that makes Wikipedia a better encyclopedia. Hopefully, the following quote will prompt those of you reading this to be bold:
| “ | 'Why have these pages not been copy-edited?' This is often the complaint of people who consult Wikipedia expecting first-class, authoritative prose. The answer is simple: it's because you, and others like you, have passed by mistakes when you saw them. Instead, you could have corrected them by simply clicking on the "Edit this page" tab at the top of the page, fixing the error, and saving. This would have prevented others from wondering the same thing. This is usually easier and faster than spending the time typing a complaint. Instead, the reader should ask, 'Why am I not copy-editing this page?' (WP:COPYEDIT) | ” |
This, of course, does not give permission for one to be reckless: verifiability, neutrality, and the other guidelines/policies are tenets of the five pillars of Wikipedia that should be followed.
Wikipedia is an ENCYCLOPEDIA, not a fansite. We do not post rumors and speculation. We post confirmed facts and verifiable information. It doesn't matter if the rumors turn out to be true, nor does it matter how well you are knowledgeable on the subject. We prize verifiability from reliable sources. Wikipedia is an archive, a collection of facts — not what will be or can be. Please read and follow no original research policy and no speculation guideline for information all editors must read.
Wikipedia is not a web directory/link farm. External links section serve as 'further reading', not advertisement. Please do not take advantage of the fact that Wikipedia is a good place for advertisement and/or self-promotion. Wikipedia is not a collective directory of fansites or a fanlistings. If you're looking for them, that's why search engines, such as Google, exist. So please, read and follow Wikipedia's policy on External links.
Wikipedia is not for vandalizing. If you feel like vandalizing somebody or something, get a blog and do it there. But NOT on Wikipedia. Don't trash someone or something out of boredom and provocation. Not only is it completely pointless, but it can be immature and tastelessly cruel. Don't do it. All of us (anonymous and registered editors) can be better this — how about spreading some of that Wikilove instead?
"The praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards." —Faramir, "The Two Towers"

 Best I can think of. If a certain article had some PD image (Or images @ all), I'd use them instead. 68.39.174.238 06:25, 8 February 2006 (UTC) |
