To express my love for Wikipedia, I've composed a hip-hop song, which I hereby release into the public domain:

"bold i be"

Start the day with a minor edit – vandalism undo Cleaning up the page about Sun Tzu: User Warning Two It might be a puppet in the form of a sock Ask an admin to check up on the log of the block Now I'm fixing up a typo on this DYK And then I gotta vote "Nay" on this RFA Then I gotta read an article on balsa wood So I can ascertain if it qualifies as Good Or just merely adequate - my userboxes are immaculate The peer review is done and now I'm FACin' it Six little stars at the top of my user page And I don't bother with the articles on Wikirage Because, honestly, I'm bored by the edit wars Three revert rule – you're a fool if you edit more Out the door, troll; you're a danger to my WikiHealth Accusing me of POV? You better check yourself! I'm something to see on the WP ...and bold I be like three apostrophes Everybody knows me; they memorize my IP ...and bold I be like three apostrophes All the people say "Yay" for my TFA ...and bold I be like three apostrophes I'm the king of multimedia on Wikipedia ...and bold I be like three apostrophes It's Scartol ripping up the microphone Leave a message on my talk page so I know I'm not alone I'm asking you: Please don't bite the newbies My first article was taken up to AFD And that's cool, cuz it probably should have been deleted Cuz I overlooked a policy that needed to be heeded But damn, man – I'm learning, and I'm totally new You can't reply to the message that I left for you? But that's cool, cuz I've mastered how to really do it right I'm composing Featured Articles like every single night: Emma Goldman, Harriet Tubman, Chinua Achebe I got the Balzac to back up what I say So if my barnstars don't impress you enough And if these lyrics don't prove that my tongue's so rough And if you gotta leave mad and walk off in a huff That's all right; I'll have some quiet time to edit this stuff "[chorus]" And for all you that's hating on how the project works "Wikipedia is edited by idiots and jerks! And they can add anything they wanna add" – yup But there's an army of vandal-fighters cleaning it up So I say "peace" to The Recent Changes Patrol Make the internet not suck: That's the real goal In your home from the library, office from the college – A worldwide movement to preserve human knowledge And there's problems; I'm not saying that the project's perfection But is it worse than the 2000 US election? I mean, it's not like democracy is the problem, right? Instead of pointing out what's wrong, let us work to make it right! "[chorus]" Shout-outs:, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and a hundred other people I forgot...

''"bold i be" is a Featured Rap Track; it (or a previous version of it) has been identified as one of the best songs produced by the Wikipedia community. Even so, if you can update or improve it... Wait, what am I saying? No one can improve these lyrics. Never mind.''
