''New to Wikipedia? Have a nice cup of tea and sit down.''

World domination is the intellectual and theoretical pursuit of establishing a New world order. It is a common activity among children, and is often labelled as a complex mental illness similar to psychopathy by psychiatrists worried about their well-being. It shares common traits with geotechnical engineering and global studies, especially global governance.

Opponents to world domination dismiss it as a form of fascism, and frequently use invalid arguments such as reducio ad hitlerum to describe its inefficacy. In the highly complex world of human erudition, both supporters and critics of world domination assert that individuals cannot control the course of world progress, regardless of how history or progress is defined.

On a purely intellectual level, world dominance can be achieved by memorializing all the countries of the world, yet this creates the problem of de facto countries and micronations, all of which deserve eternal judgement and salvation. Most proponents of world domination have Swiss bank accounts. They are more likely to experience annoyance toward religious topics.

RE: WP:SOPA&mdash; A protest need not be one-sided. Even though Wikipedia will be blacking out tomorrow, this is an opportunity to engage the community in discussion from&mdash;exactly what we do best&mdash;a wide variety of viewpoints to provide a nearly-NPOV, but directional, statement. ~ AH1 (discuss!) 23:10, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

This user is willing to help new editors resolve issues that arise with established contributors relating to policies, lame edit wars and discouraged user conduct. Click on my Talk / Discussion tab to get started.


 * Ways to improve Wikipedia in 2012:
 * This list = incomplete. You may help by expanding it.

-->
 * 1) Time travel: look at your old contributions and find articles to improve.
 * 2) When you need help, contact a 'veteran' editor on their talkpage. Even for responses that seem too mired in obscure policies, don't fret.
 * 3) Wikipedia is based on the principle that humans are inherently good. Remember that, and no angry mastodons as well.
 * 4) Discuss the purpose of a project, but don't dishevel it without further consideration.
 * 5) Doing homework or some other research assignment? Why not add information to a Wikipedia article, given reliable sources?
 * 6) While checking your watchlist, take an instance of vandalism as a possible indication that the article potentially needs help in some regard.
 * 7) Instead of checking your watchlist all the time and thus stalking pages, visit diverse areas of the project, talk to the people who frequent there, and improve the encyclopedia in various areas.
 * 8) If you're staring at the screen for 12 hours a day and only make 5 edits, we've got a problem.
 * 9) Take a good look here: we have only a few featured articles. Can we get up to OVER NINE THOUSAND?
 * 10) Wikipedia is not a lot of things, but what can it be? For one thing you're helping to provide knowledge to some children who might not be able to afford formal schooling.
 * 11) We are open to criticism, but there are better ways to do it than vandalism and trolling.
 * 12) Debate with a cool head, meaning use dialectic and don't try to convince others of your opinion. WP:NPOV.
 * 13) No death threats. Seriously.
 * 14) If you believe there can be no middle ground, then there won't be one.
 * 15) There is no reason to take insults personally. Meanwhile, no personal attacks.
 * 16) When a new editor leaves, it could be because the existing editors are enforcing written or unwritten rules that appear obscure to the average newcomer.
 * 17) Focus on Editor retention, especially for experts.
 * 18) Be bold. That's our un-official motto.
 * 19) Take a look at a backlogged page and find something to improve.
 * 20) Policy proliferation might be more of a cabal than the one that did the mediating.
 * 21) Recognize the vicious cycle when it appears.
 * 22) Realize that one day, a massive solar flare could destroy the Internet. And no, that is not an excuse to vandalise; it is an excuse to expand human knowledge.
 * 23) Due to mirror neurons, more of the same creates more of the same. Recognize groupthink when it happens, but don't start nuking everything.
 * 24) The world ultimately affects what appears in Wikipedia, but Wikipedia also has an effect on the world. This is an example of covariance.
 * 25) Wikipedia is a community. Communities have humo(u)r. When you don't understand somebody else's humour, simply ignore it, or create massive amounts of obfuscation tantramount to stupidity.
 * 26) If Wikipedia were a person, it would be walking all over the world and identifying resources, not sitting in a chair curled in the fetal position.
 * 27) The In the news section gets a lot of new content, but its editors mainly deal with redistributing already available content. Unless it's the only thing you work on, try to actually improve an article that two dozen editors have supported but are still waiting on.
 * 28) Electricity is fickle. Remember that your power might go off, and most definitely do not edit in the shower.
 * 29) There is more than one way to contribute. When some other editor disturbs you, such as by referring to him or herself as this user or telling you that they drink BAWLS, take it lightly.
 * Yes, we are a bunch of nerds who stare into a computer screen all day. No, you should not ignore your wife in favour of asking some random guy on the Internet about what to do in bed, except for this.
 * 1) When you find a book, you may be able to write an article on it (if you can prove that it's won significant awards or have other notability). For non-fiction, perhaps incorporate some facts into by citing either the book, or references contained within. In the case of scientific content, we would prefer journals.
 * 2) The world is changing as we speak. As we speak, the world is still changing.
 * 3) Veteran editors, share your experiences!
 * 4) Think outside the box. What do you see?
 * 5) The law of attraction is what keeps a big thing, growing. This applies to large encyclopedias like us, and in reverse to smaller language-Interwikis like those in the written Shanghai dialect or Upper Sorbian.
 * 6) There are a lot of times when person A says something insulting to human B, and doesn't know why it's insulting. Perhaps this is a minor problem contributing to editor loss.
 * 7) Remember that relevance is defined as the likelihood of achieving a goal.
 * 8) Humans by nature are resistant to change. Wikipedians by computer are resistant to top-down organizational approaches. So what is the solution?
 * 9) Bureaucracy is quite possibly the most efficient way to run things, but on the other hand tasks get mired in backlog. Why not talk to a bureaucrat who appears friendly?
 * 10) It is OK to suffer an existential crisis or identity crisis, even when you are Wikipedia, or even after reading a Wikipedia article that you discovered to your horror was not censored. Most people will.[citation needed]
 * 11) On the other hand, if you see content that really should not be there, you are welcome to discuss for example at the help desk.
 * 12) Scandals are stupid. Ignore them.
 * 13) Is some editor you know giving bad advice? Well, um...well...
 * 14) Stop picking on minor faults in other editors. Comment on the content, not the contributors, and we will all be content. *crickets chirping*
 * 15) Take a look at unusual articles.
 * 16) Rather than complain about or remove a Citation needed tag, go ahead and provide a citation using reliable sources – we’re here to help you.
 * 17) Participate in a talkpage discussion and seek compromises on longstanding disputes.
 * 18) Remember that IAR is about the spirit of the rules – Wikipedia generally has no extremely strict rules, except ones relating to copyright and the Five Pillars.
 * 19) The reference desks are a great way to gather information, but their original purpose is to channel collaboration in towards building the encyclopedia by gathering content from sources. So do it.
 * 20) Try your hand at creating a wiki-ad for some little-known area of the project that could generate a great deal of user participation and article improvement.

About Wikipedia

 * Metaphor: There are many more fish in the sea.


 * 'Pataphor: The sea has become so heavily polluted and overfished that all the good fish are going extinct. Ironically, although these seas and oceans are warmer, the healthy fish are becoming lethargic, being replaced by gigantic invading jellyfish that arrive in the ocean's dead zones, spurned by eutrophication, ocean acidification and toxic waste dumps.


 * Pedagogy: Wikipedia editors can use reliable sources to make these connections, although the chains of cause-and-effect are indeed very complex. This is a great way for us encyclopedians to educate the world. Just try to avoid undue synthesis and original research.


 * Extended anagogy (no article - anagogy): What does free really mean? Is it an unbound significance, freedom of the mind to transcend barriers, or simply the very nature of the Internet? Everything nowadays seems to be institutionalized. Yet Wikipedia, just by its logo, signifies a vast collection of puzzle pieces, for to assemble an infinite puzzle. Some may say it will never be completed, but then again, neither is the very essense of human knowledge. You see, humanity stands at a tipping point, not because of some aforementioned doomsday, but rather the awakening of its peoples. We have come to realize that the omnipresent barriers, seemingly brick walls, are all but façades created by the illusion of their own presence. Impenetrable, as they say, but neither the human mind nor the creative works of such can be unsurmountable as such. All it takes is a little psychological resilience. We live within such a web, the portrayal of communication, the lacking of context as we suffer the news fatigue of the day, not willing to take a moment to remember. Yet what is there to remember, despite the vast cacophony of bogged-down memorization and little else to seek, that which is here? Well, who knows, and how, for that matter. All I know is that this is a reminiscence of purpose, the very purpose of purpose itself, as well as Wikipedia, without context, which of course, is ultimately unnecessary, for this is a run-on sentence. Time is ticking, yet your mind is becoming faster. The infinite train continues to chug on, as the corollary of the human existence meets its unrivalled end, that is, a new beginning. You see, every minute is the end of something, and the beginning of something, and it is your mind that decides which exists the resemblence of hitherto unknown polluted references. Just make sure to cite your sources. Good luck. Your journey awaits.


 * Metaphilosophy: We stand to face the politics of politics, the nature of nature and the knowledge of knowledge itself, both within and without. NPOV, therefore, is simply an omnipresent tone of voice, without necessitating an actual omnipresence amidst an uncountable infinity. As within, so as without therefore.

About me

 * Useful links -
 * Edit summary usage

Hi! Welcome to my user page. I have been an editor on this community project for six years, and I am rather highly experienced on Wikipedia, recently being listed on Most active Wikipedians (warning: link may freeze slower browsers). I've worked on articles relating to many different topics here, and contributed to regular updating of current event articles, reverting vandalism, helping out in discussions and projects, and more. Some of my work has also focused on improving specific articles, and building them to higher levels of assessment ratings. My editing sometimes declines and other times picks back up, as real-life duties often limit my time for editing. However, there are still times for rapid editing sprees.

Nowadays, I do some article planning, rather than just pure article expansion and updating. One issue we currently have in our featured articles is that the addition of new content sometimes renders the remainder of the article unreadable. Sometimes it is necessary to refactor content so that only the most important facts and information, displayed alongside references of course, is displayed on a top-quality article. As I also said several years ago, long-term Wikipedia editing is likely to result in noticeable health effects, of which a significant portion of mine I attribute to Wikipedia. Still, I wonder how netizens in the Arab countries seem to be able to better mitigate their use of time, rather than get bogged down on tedious to-do lists that have replaced much of the Western lifestyle.

Thus, in order to upgrade the project in new ways, I suggest the use of techniques for expanding article topics and improving quality. One would be having a conceptual outline for new articles, and then collecting relevant information that fits the article according to such an outline. Techniques may be entirely independent, rather than rigid or strictly determined by the associated WikiProjects. Some contributors would argue that Wikipedia is failing to meet its goals, while others would state otherwise; certain people also suggest that Assume Good Faith has become meaningless or that "Be Bold" hardly attracts newcomers. I would argue for a balanced approach, including making use of insightful discussions on project pages, rather than standard routine Watchlisting which does get boring after a while.
