I am a Wikipedia editor. Just a blip in a database.

Netoholic's Law
As a wiki discussion grows longer, the probability of an accusation by one user of another acting unilaterally approaches one.
 * Look, I've made thousands of "unilateral" edits, so probably have you. It's a wiki.  Get over it.
 * Corollary: One can substitute any of the following for "unilaterally", and the law still works -- "against consensus", "mindlessly", "carelessly", "out of process". Any of these words indicates you might be facing off against a wiki-warrior.

Other wisdom
Citing WP:IAR isn't something to get you out of giving a good explanation. Its an apology you give when keeping track of the rules got too unbearable and you just wanted to write an encyclopedia.
 * The opposite of deletionism is not inclusionism; rather, the opposite is contribution.
 * Ignore all rules does not mean "Fuck the rules".
 *  There are people who have good sense. There are idiots. A consensus of idiots does not override good sense. Wikipedia is not a democracy.
 * It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission.
 * You don't have to like your subject to write a sound article about it. Sometimes it's better not to like it, as there's a greater incentive to be neutral. - Peridon

 * Let he who is without POV cast the first cn.
 * The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name.

Wikibrags

 * /Rescued from Category:Candidates for speedy deletion
 * 2004: Inventor of infobox templates, such as Infobox City (now, Infobox Biography , and even the base Template:Infobox now used on ~7% of all articles.
 * 2004: Initial proposal for the television programming naming convention
 * 2004: Prevented the death of an unusual list.
 * 2005: Chief complainer about conditional meta-templates, a problem which eventually inspires mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions
 * 2006: I killed a pretty leet featured article.
 * 2014: Improved the quality of a particular article 625772189%, but then the rats nibbled it down and made it a mess again.
 * 2016: After about two years of effort, finally attended the funeral of the atrocity that was.

Hilarity ensues

 * Skateboarding trick
 * "honk honk here comes the banmobile"
 * User:Dmn(*) says goodbye in his own special way - Get A Life You Nob (see contribs from Dec 31 2004)
 * It's important to warn users
 * "Human should be a disambig page."
 * Maybe this page should have used protection?
 * "Wikipedia is a damn encyclopedia."
 * Who doesn't like Skittles, though?
 * Disambiguation can be a funny thing: Telenovela (TV series), Film (film), Film... (TV programme), Television (film). Notfilm (film) moved to Notfilm
 * "O Baby, Oh Baby, Ooh Baby, Ooh Baby Baby, or Ooh Ooh Baby may refer to:"
 * "It could be argued that the entire article is SYNTH."
