User:Johnstarlight72

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Before you ask, no, I'm not the Munich-based musician and producer Florian Senfter. The name Johnstarlight72 has a much deeper meaning, and one which I will not reveal here (...yet).

In fact, it slightly annoys me that Florian Senfter used my name as a pseudonym. Sure, it's unlikely that he could have known that I came up with the name first, but even so, I did come up with it first so it doesn't seem fair.

But anyway, rant over. For me, Wikipedia is more than a handy resource for information. It stands for collaboration. It proves what we can achieve if we pull together. It shows people contribute without promise of personal reward.

So, what is my raison d'etre on this site? What have I come here to achieve? The answer is, nothing in particular. Surprised? Thought you might be. The thing is, I have not come to edit or create pages about anything in particular. I edit and write because it is the right thing to do. Access to factual, well-referenced material is integral to the world we want to build. In short, the idea of somebody expanding their knowledge because of me is why I come here, and why I'll continue coming here. That is Johnstarlight72's purpose. Nothing more, nothing less.
