Facts

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.

In memory of Aaron Swartz
(November 8, 1986 – January 11, 2013)
One of my favourite Wikipedians.
He will be sadly missed.

A barnstar for you!

The Writer's Barnstar
That was a quality edit you made to Listeria ivanovii. I know it says you're "retired" but if you find the project worthwhile, maybe you would consider helping out over at TAFI. NickPenguin(contribs) 01:18, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the barnstar. Sometimes I have trouble sleeping and that is when I have a look in the Wikipedia. Usually I try to read something boring so I quickly want to go back to bed. Sometimes my eye catches something that needs to done or I detect vandalism. Although I no longer structurally try to improve Wikipedia, I am of the opinion "that every little bit helps". 77.167.212.162 07:00, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

It seems that you have customized your signature so that the text of the link to this page looks like an IP address rather than a username. This is highly misleading and may be considered a form of signature forgery. Please replace the IP address in your signature with your username or something that conforms to the custom signature policy, or simply stop using a custom signature (by blanking the signature textbox and unchecking "Treat the above as wiki markup"). I have corrected your existing signatures on talk pages. Thank you. Nardog (talk) 12:17, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • You may also have noted that I have stopped actively editing Wikipedia (for reasons I prefer to keep to myself). I cannot remove my user identity so I prefer to use my IP address. I'll be honest, I am not that well off and I have had to disconnect from internet a few times. This also means that my IP address has changed a few times. I do not bother changing it. If this means users consider me a troll, sock puppet or anything else malignant, so be it. I do not make the rules. I cannot be bothered to keep up with the regulations, I contribute because I feel sharing knowledge is a good thing for mankind. I try to reference my contributions, as was usual when Wikipedia started. Nowadays I only contribute about things which are important in my mind. Usually places I have visited recently or people that I have met or have impressed me. Wikipedia is full of things that should not be there, my absence will probably go unnoticed. For the rest, feel free to do whatever it is you need to do. 192.168.2.17 12:30, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Because I have decided to abandon the article, I have blanked the submission. John Do'h 19:20, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
