[edit] My pledge

I pledge to make edits transparently and in good faith. I pledge only to edit insofar as the quality, content, scope and/or truthiness of the material will be improved. I pledge not to edit for any vested self-interest, as in order for one's beliefs, philosophies and principles to be truly solid, they need to stand on the unadultered truth alone. Kthxbye!

[edit] I messed with 'your' page

Drop me a line if I've edited work dear to you! I am not a douche and believe in building consensus and improving this awesome source of information, unless Jimbo Wales decides to sell out.

[edit] Sockpuppetry

I am not a sockpuppet, though you may be my sockpoppet without knowing it.

[edit] What I'm Watching

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Dennis Kucinich, Rudolph Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul. I do not like partisan hacks or supporters unable to distinguish between fact and propaganda trolling for their preferred candidate here. Do you really need Wikipedia that much to tout your candidate? Go Googlebomb or something.

[edit] People make mistakes

Don't bitch me out if I've made a mistake or hurt your feelings by changing something. Let me know on my talk page, unless I've announced my edit on the discussion page of the article. Then let's talk there. I will be polite, I promise.

[edit] Don't be to spel rong here

I hate typos. Most of my corrections are for typos, or flat-out poor spelling. That and simplifying sentence structures so as to make Wikipedia more readable.

[edit] Irregardless

I consider irregardless a word. Deal with it.

[edit] I was born more than 100 years ago

Time did not collapse a century ago. Vague indiciators like "more than 100 years ago" are my enemy. I will make it all better.

Also, it's never over/under, it's "more than" or "less than." (Disclaimer: I am not, in fact, a grammar nazi), and have been known to haphazardly split my infinitives for the sake of cadence. Grammar is relatively new. Before the 19th century, there were few rules. I don't have a source for this but I know it. For example, the 2nd Amendment says:

“ A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. ”

What's that comma doing there between 'Arms' and 'shall'? Nothing. It's pointless. Someone put it there because it 'felt right.' The version sent to the States didn't have it. Don't believe it? Look it up on Wikipedia.

[edit] Trivia

Apartcents was my CAPTCHA word.

Kthxbye is not an attempt to be snarky. I like it. Kthxbye!
