Statement of WIKIness 1

REVERSION IS NOT THE FIRST OPTION I will never revert a page that has been edited in good faith. In true life there is no point in reversion, if someone has something to say, even if 99% of the populace disagree it probably is still relevant. I will not revert first time vandalism on a userpage either. Sometimes Vandalism can afford some small fun, sometimes such creativity can be harnessed. I believe a vandal can be poked fun at and we can be entertained. Either way editing, NOT reverting, is always the best way! I bet you can find something worthy in every edit..look hard! Otherwise those trying to Be Bold...will eventually give in! What is the point in constant reverts, a revert war...only one opinion being promulgated! That is not objectivity, nor beneficial.

I keep coming accross alot of pointless nationalist rant in reverts in discussions, or edits which I have to adjust, as per my no revert policy! i keep coming across, am i going mad? You can't have a go at someone about their contributions because they happen to be born in a political boundary you disagree with, their point is as valid as yours!

Hi and welcome to my user page. i began using Wiki only in summer 2005, and really see the benefets of it...I am very much in favour of a free encyclopaedia within the public domain and one that can be accessed and added to by everyone with few limitations on freedom of speech. When i see someone in a discussion page getting angry over something as it disagrees with their point of view (POV) I am a little perturbed that they do not understand the point of wikipedia as a tool for learning, and therfore by necessity free speech; nothing more. But it also pleases me that something stirs inside of them, it means not only that they have read the article, but also the discussions and will contribute and may lead to broader thinking. This can only be a good thing.

I have a degree in history, specialising in European political and Royal history c600-1500 ad; any intrigues at the royal court, i'm your man. I consider myself fairly qualified in linguistical areas too (see Wikepedia:babel) and am quite happy to help with anything if I feel i can. I am pretty much an all rounder with lots of stuff...and when i start editing and creating articles, I hope this comes through.

People are driving me mad!! I go to a very well written article and in the discussions page there are numerous complaints concerning the article, however the complainers have only complained; not made any effort to edit, hold a referendum on changes or are simply bemoaning nationalistic history! Most of all many people seem to forget that an an ecyclopaedia is a tool for learning and can hold articles as varied as "the amoeba" to "paedophilia", but there is a difference between learningabout something and being taught how something's done. People need to BE BOLD...make those edits, don't be destructive or thoughtless and ask...but use common sense and initiative! I loathe vandalism and also articles that, through lack of reading, or over editing, become a ramshackle of nothingness....instead of debating whether or not they should BE BOLD!!
