User:Apocheir

I've been editing since 2004, but my edits from then are embarrassing juvenilia, largely about bad '90s anime. This account is a fresh start. (Also I don't remember the password to that account any longer and the email address associated with it no longer exists.)

My username is from Thomas Pynchon's novel V.

Quips

 * The ideal Wikipedia article is simply a summary of published sources. Actual Wikipedia articles generally aren't.
 * Wikipedia pages reach an equilibrium, not an ideal.
 * A page's references are more important than a page's content.
 * Systemic bias is more important than individual bias.
 * There are more errors on this site than could be fixed in a lifetime, so pick your battles.
 * Sometimes the vandals are on the right track.
 * If you take the fanboys head-on, you'll lose.
 * If someone is looking for a fight, don't give one to them.
 * If I had worked with Larry Sanger, I'd also try to distance myself from him.
