“ The work to be done on Wikipedia is plenty but life is short. ” — me

Welcome to my user page. I mostly do minor edits like reference/external links formatting, sometimes also add some external links to archival materials. I also regularly cleanup random articles, particularly when I am bored. You may notice that the articles I edit are pretty random and that's because I almost always have something to cleanup when I use wikipedia for information. I think I have a bad habit of over-commiting myself to a project and burn myself out after a few months... It indeed happened in another internet community.

Below are (some of) my random thoughts.

• Mind cannot be free until knowledge is free.
  • (Implementations may be non-free but knowledge must always be free)
  • Equality is a prerequisite for Freedom.

• Knowledge should never be held ransom.

• One important function of Wikipedia (and the Internet) is acting as an archival guide, so that people, even under educated people, have access to great artifacts & information, and the gateways to them (which are arguably more important than the artifacts themselves). They should feel that it is a waste of time to scroll infinitely on their phones, consuming and spreading hate and spam, now they know and have access to so much great works human race has created.

• Preserve, Access, Discover

• How do you expect someone to cherish something that they never had a chance to immerse themselves in?

• Guns, I hate guns. — Leonard Bernstein (from one of his papers)

• Considering that a free (as in free speech) information & knowledge service is crucial to achieving equality in mankind, an online encyclopedia that is written by the free men for the free men, using free / open-access content, should be created and actively maintained.

• This user believes that silence is a basic nutrient crucial for child development especially in the early ages and should be universally available to all if we want to achieve equality.

• This user thinks *BSD are superior to Linux just like how macOS is superior to Microsoft Windows

• This user believes that access to comprehensive, accessible archive and quality, accurate information about one's country's past should be a part of each and every citizen's rights, duties, and entertainment.

• This user believes that, to boast about or encourage showing-off of edit counts, considering the amount of unnoticed cleanups and chores to be done, is detrimental to Wikipedia. The most important thing is to let everyone onboard and give a hand, and make the transition from outsider to editor as smooth as possible.

• This user wishes to understand and remember what made chinese wikipedia (and china mainland) a pure warzone, and try his best not to spread the virus of violence. He may fail in the end, but he is trying his best.
