User:ViralQuest

OK. So, just like when I get someone's answering machine, I never know what to say or put in these things. Luckily, this is a Wiki, so you all can give me lots of feedback. :)

I am a true freshman in here at the moment. Just stopped by recently to get some information (found it very useful). So, I've been back to see how things worked here - checked a few topics out, made a few changes here, corrections there, now I'm a member; go figure.

Please do not edit this page. If you need to leave me a comment, please put it on my talk page.

My mission on Wikipedia comes from a habit I have in places like bookstores. My habit is that I like to read (anything) and when I see something that needs fixing (e.g., books out of order) I fix it.

To that end, I troll Community_Portal finding interesting articles to check and edit, particularly science or religion articles.

In necessariis unitas, in dubiis libertas, in omnibus caritas

"in certain things, unity; in uncertain things, liberty; and in both, charity" or, more literally, "in necessary things unity; in uncertain things freedom; in everything compassion"
