Wikipedia is extremely cool.
This single website is a main source of knowledge for 4.3 billion people!
And I am one out of 47 million Wikipedians,
a drop of water in this ocean,
This ocean of dedicated people to expanding this awesome base of human knowledge.
“I came to the idea of how fine it would be to think of an encyclopedia of an actual world, and then of an encyclopedia, a very rigorous one of course, of an imaginary world, where everything should be linked.”
— Jorge Luis Borges, Interview with Denis Dutton, 1977
I bet people would laugh at the idea of a massive encyclopaedia completely written by random people contributing randomly on random topics from random places in random languages purely voluntarily. Well, we are in one now. We have created this linked encyclopaedia like what Jorge Luis Borges envisioned.
Yes, I'm still just a apprentice editor, and I still struggle to get my citations perfect and still have to search up text formatting code (those three sentences above took me about half an hour); I love Wikipedia. The pure thought that I, just one of 8 billion, can contribute with my little bit of knowledge to this forest of wisdom, gives me a sense of accomplishment I cannot describe. Perhaps this is why I am slowly transforming into a Wikipediholic.
The name 'Daftation' comes from my Minecraft username I made around 5 years ago. My violin teacher used to call me daft all the time, and I thought I might make a tribute to him through my username. He left us with Leukemia in 2020.
Well, thanks for visiting my user page. I hope you are here not because I made a mistake. If you do have any questions, please contact me on my talk page. I will reply as soon as I see it.
