User:NE Ent/olduser

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Formerly: Nobody Ent

I'd have said Jimbo Wales is a crazy dreamer and the seminal idea behind Wikipedia -- that a bunch of unpaid amateurs can successfully build an Encyclopedia -- is ludicrous. That said, I'm an empiricist, so I've gotta say he was right and I was wrong. Editors who fret about the imperfection and dysfunction of Wikipedia are missing the essential miracle of its existence.

Ent

[edit]

Much angst and conflict on Wikipedia is caused by editors being hasty. I like to think, muse and ponder things before reacting, much like the Ents of Tolkien's mythology. Additionally Ent-like, I go quiet from time to time and am fairly thick-skinned. I have serendipitously settled in at the new WQA because I think it's a good match for an Ent.

NE Ent may be a lot of things, but an apologist for admin is not one of them.[1]
