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.

Statement of WIKIness 2

NATIONALISTIC PRIDE IN ARTICLES IS DAFT Encyclopaedic nationalism! It's increasing. More and more discussion pages contain rivalries, especially over history. I'm not naming names but I'm sorry..there are some areas in history that are accepted as fact..it doesn't matter whatever way you revise history into a nationalist mould, the French forces didn't win at Agincourt, The British Empire didn't ultimitely triumph and Andorra doesn't rule the world!! I think it is really egotistical to dismiss somebody's opinion because it is based on a different national school of thought than your own, equally it is not productive to edit an artcle brutally to your way of thinking. A compromise should be reached to provide the best of both views. You cannot dismiss someone becuase of their birthplace. Again the thought is edit Wisely!

There is more WIKIness coming soon...i just have to wait for more things to p me off, It's good then that this is all!

FREE SPEECH--

I would like to say, to me my userpage will always be free, and not politically correct. If it offends anyone, then it is not meant to be a bureaucratic pièce. However, remember that people died for free speech, and i strongly believe in using it to its fullest to express myself before I am stripped of it again.

Welcome to my user page. 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 over a broad period. When i get stuck in to articles fully, this might actually show!
