 "Nobody can tell ya There's only one song worth singing They may try and sell ya 'Cause it hangs them up to see someone like you But you've gotta make your own kind of music Sing your own special song Make your own kind of music Even if nobody else sings along." - Mama Cass  "99 Luftballons Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont Hielt man fuer UFOs aus dem All Darum schickte ein General 'ne Fliegerstaffel hinterher Alarm zu geben, wenn's so wär Dabei war'n da am Horizont Nur 99 Luftballons" - Nena  "You want more money, of course I don't mind! To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes ! And the public gets what the public wants! But I want nothin' what this society's got! I’m going underground, going underground Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound! Going underground, going underground Well let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow!" - The Jam

Me on Wikipedia
 "Better stop dreaming of the quiet life - cos it's the one we'll never know. And quit running for that runaway bus - cos those rosey days are few. And - stop apologising for the things you've never done, Cos time is short and life is cruel - but it's up to us to change This town called malice!" - The Jam

'FREEDOM! FOREVER!'

Hi. I'm Phil. My birthday is February 24th. I've used Wikipedia for about two years. I found this site when my dad was searching on Google for events that happened in 1933; my grandfather was turning 70.

I visit this site nearly everyday and do at least a few edits while I visit (sometimes I don't log in; I therefore don't edit on these occasions). On the Wikipediholic test on 05/09/05, my result was a healthy 117.

I'm a senior at SUNY Oswego.

I love Wikipedia more than I love taffy...and I'm a guy who loves his taffy. (at this point, I have begun to chew taffy in a very creepy manner)

I mostly fixed typos, add Simpsons episode plots, Star Wars nitpicks, and often trivia to movies. Below is a timeline of my progress on Wikipedia:
 * August 2003 - Discovered Wikipedia while searching for a list of events in 1933 with Google. Later used the site (searching for it through Google) for events in 1953.
 * 18:08 EST, 8 August 2004 - First recorded edit as B-101.
 * 18:56 EST, 30 August 2005 - First edit as JustPhil
 * 09/03/05 - Created the article for Little Girl in the Big Ten, which makes the Simpsons episode list complete (until season 17 starts up).
 * 09/12/05 - FINALLY figured out how to upload images.
 * 3/23/06 - Received my very first Barnstar.


 * 12/26/06 - Received my second Barnstar.

Would you like to know more?

I would prefer that my comments on talk pages are responded within 24 hours or so.

Is there anything you would like to ask or tell me?

At first, I only went to Wikipedia and Memory-Alpha as an anonymous user. One day on Memory-Alpha, they asked me to have a user name. I was still relatively new to this and I didn't know I had to sign on. I liked the number "101", but I didn't want to be "T-101", the Terminator. My favorite Star Trek villains were the Borg, so I decided to be B(org)-101, putting it on talk pages without signing on. In August 2004, I was asked to become a user and therefore, I became B-101.

As of 6:56 PM EST 8/30/2005, I go by JustPhil. A friend of mine came up with that as my nickname and I recently thought it would be a better username.

Oh, the places I've been to
 "When you're alone and life is making you lonely You can always go - downtown When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry Seems to help, I know - downtown Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty How can you lose? The lights are much brighter there You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares So go downtown, things'll be great when you're Downtown - no finer place, for sure Downtown - everything's waiting for you." - Petula Clark

Quotes

 * ''No one would have believed in the early years of the 21st century...that our world was being watched by intelligences greater than our own. That as men busied themselves with their various concerns...they observed and studied, the way a man with a microscope might scrutinize the creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency, man went to and fro about the globe, confident of our empire over this world. Yet...across the gulf of space...intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic...regarded our planet with envious eyes...and slowly...and surely...drew their plans...against us...
 * - War of the Worlds

 * Here are the facts. We left troops in North Korea after World War II, part of the Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1904 by President Kennedy. Tell me where I'm wrong.
 * Where do I start? Well, we left troops in South Korea after the Korean War. The Treaty of Versailles is what ended World War I in 1919 and Kennedy was only president from 1960 to 1963. So, uh, pretty much, everything you just said was wrong.
