"It matters not what a person is born, but who they choose to be." —J. K. Rowling
Attention: This section is still under construction!
Userpages I designed: I also, if requested, design talk pages as well along with userpages as a set. Currently, I am not taking requests, as summer is a busy season for me.

"...That is my duty. There may be a higher duty, perhaps — but that is mine." —Walter Blythe, "Rilla of Ingleside"
"In stark terms, Wikipedia is one of the single most important undertakings in human history. If we do our job, future generations will look upon Wikipedia as the cornerstone of the information revolution. If we don't, the world will lose a tremendous resource. And that is why I'm here." —Philwelch
"This is a Wiki. To make this project work EVERYONE must buy into the idea that this is a collaborative effort. No individual should ever take authorship credit...It was a collective effort. I contributed the large majority of effort into creating and editing a list that made it to featured list status, but that still does not make me the author. Even if I was the only editor of a featured or good articles, others will edit them in the future. I think of myself more as a guardian or fascilitator of the article." —Samuel Wantman
I think people are mistaking for the fact that just because anyone can edit Wikipedia, they can do whatever they want with it because it's "free", with either an attitude of "screw the policies" or of ignorance. Ignorance, fine. But those who keep making Wikipedia what it is not, and know it, should really stop.
Wikipedia is an ENCYCLOPEDIA, not a fansite. We do not post rumors and speculation. We post confirmed facts and verifiable information. It doesn't matter if the rumors turn out to be true, it doesn't matter how well you know this information—what matters is that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. It's an archive, a collection of facts—not what will be or can be. So please, please, follow the no original research and no speculation policy.
Wikipedia is not a web directory/link farm. External links section serve as 'further reading', not advertisement. Please do not take advantage of the fact that Wikipedia is a good place to advertisement. It is, but this is an encyclopedia, not a fansite nor a fanlisting. If you're looking for fansites, that's what Google is for. So please, again, read and follow Wikipedia's policy on External links. And to those who laugh at the fact that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, read Philwelch's quote above. It may not be know to most, but in the future, if we Wikipedians "do our job", it will be.
Wikipedia is not for vandalizing. If you feel like vandalizing somebody or something, get a blog and do it your blog or whatever. But NOT on Wikipedia. Don't trash someone or something just because you're bored or you want to irritate someone. That's immature and a manner that is, in my opinion, beneath the dirt. It's mean, and it's cruel. Don't do it. All of us, anons and users — we're better this — how 'bout spreading some of that Wikilove instead?
"The praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards." —Faramir, "The Two Towers"
