Semper Q

All the Universe, all space and time is my home (yours too)!
I'm one
of many readers and editors of
WikipediA ... a resourceful that never sets !
...an ever-brightening star that is read and edited by unparalleled galaxies of curious people!

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia edited by readers to the advantage of readers. Wikipedia is constructed so that present and future readers will benefit from the improving record and growing knowledge discovered in its pages. I earnestly hope this leads to increasing, ongoing and eternal human WisdoM!


25 years of Wikipedia!
15 January 2026


It is my sincerest hope that someday soon someone will create the very first
reference work that will explain each and every delicious mystery of the human female:


Femwiki(pediA)!
C'mon ladies – SPILL IT!


Very thankful for what really matters most to me –
my special partner in life, Susan! (Suze), and...

Awesome editors on Wikipedia!

This user pledges to return to
Old-fashioned Wikipedian values.

To me, all of the following editors are right up there high enough to overlook and oversee our five pillars!

Plus all of the other editors at my first RfA and my second RfA, supporters, questioners, neutralists and opposers!
(who have not already been mentioned)

Each and every one of these editors has worked hard to help me along the way, so I consider all of them my mentors and extraordinary people.
This list could always have more names – workin' on it boss!

Maybe I'll try RfA3 (for a third time)? The RfA would probably fail just like RfA1 and RfA2 did, but they won't fault me for not trying!

Please, try to never be offended by bias even if others have accused you of it. We are all brought up with prejudice, which can easily cause us to grow up biased ourselves. You don't want to let others push your buttons and control you. If you take offense then you just add to the problem. So keep your head, make time to observe, and remember that the most effective way to fight evil is to spread the good. It's not always easy to counter systemic bias; however, on an ever-growing scale, that is exactly what we all must learn to do. Try to keep up!

Deep secret of life: all that is really important is what we do for others.

— Lewis Carroll (slightly paraphrased)

The greatest good you can do for others is not just to share your riches, but to help them discover their own.

— Benjamin Disraeli (slightly paraphrased)

More concerns:
  • Monarch butterfly endangered migratory species
  • there were a lot more moths and other insects around when I was a boy!


Help to promote editors' respect for other editors!
(especially less experienced ones – make it less difficult for them than it was for you and me! )


Editing Wikipedia is voluntary,
so let it always be lots of fun !
