[edit] Proposed wikipedia mottos
- Wikipedia: where lack of people-skills is an asset, not a liability
- Wikipedia - also known as Unemployed Ph.D Deathmatch
- There is nothing so trivial that it will offend no one
- Adminship is a wet blanket, not a bejeweled codpiece
- Calling someone a pedant entails implicitly admitting they are right
- Anyone who says they're going to give you their two cents is about to hit you over the head with six dollars in bent nickels
[edit] Chicken soup for the troubled Wikipedian
- If you're annoyed, or angry, or depressed by wikipedia, take a week off and chill. Exposure to real life will cure you.
- If you're getting into frequent pointless edit and flame wars in controversial subjects like abortion and zionism, spend some time instead editing something else you care about - your home town, your favourite band, the last excellent book you read.
- If you only want to edit controversial topics like abortion and zionism then, well, you're the architect of your own hypertension.
[edit] To do
- Fix many links to "hydaulics" or "hydraulic" that should point straight to hydraulic cylinder or hydraulic technology
