In many of the more relaxed civilizations, the Wikipedia has already supplanted the great Encyclopedia Britannica as the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom, for though it has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate, it scores over the older, more pedestrian work in two important respects. First, it is slightly cheaper; and secondly it has the words Come As You Are inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover.

causa sui (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · moves · rights · email) has been an administrator since August 10, 2005. [1] He is a firm believer in the bold, revert, discuss cycle of dispute resolution and will try to adhere to the one-revert rule as best he can.

Causa sui (Latin pronunciation: [kawsa sʊi], American English phonetic: kau-SA soo-EE) is a Latin phrase that means "cause of itself". As a philosophical concept central to Benedict Spinoza's thought, it denotes the only substance that has its reason for existing within itself, i.e. God.

While one may be tempted to refer to him in shorthand as "causa", that form is a gibberish fragment of a complete phrase, and he is giggling every time he sees it.
