General Info

edit
 
Gerard guards this page against vandals.
  • Hi. I'm Bratsche. Some call me Ben. You can try either; I'll get back to you after the beep.
  • I'm a student, who likes to read and fix mistakes. Wikipedia just fulfills my editorial cravings.
  • Since I don't have much in-depth knowledge of any one subject, but rather a mind full of trivia, I'm on a personal mission to destroy vandalism, delete nonsense and do basic janitorial work with my mop.
  • By the way, Bratsche means viola in German, my musical instrument of choice
  • I recently achieved a Wikipediholic test score of 237, making me "fatally addicted".
  • I am an Eagle Scout, a proud accomplishment.
  • Feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you need any help, have any questions, or just want to chat.

Missions

edit
  • I have a mission to help with as many Wiki Fixup Projects as I can. They usually give me a quick Wikifix during the day.
    • Actually, the random page button is really nice to use too, in order to find needy articles
  • Currently watching: Special:Recentchanges. Back on RC patrol. Using CryptoDerk's Vandal Fighter.
  • You know, the above are hopelessly outdated. So, FYI, I mostly work on Esperanza, the organization for Wikipedians and doing menial admin tasks.

A Poem and More

edit
Echoing silence
Darkness lit up by beams
Light
Seeking its counterpart
In melody
Stillness
Striving for liberations
In a word
Life
In dust
In shadow
How seldom growth and blossom
How seldom fruit
-Dag Hammarskjöld

"Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That’s what we’re doing." -28 Jul 2004
"We make the Internet not suck." -25 Sep 2005
"Userboxes of a political or, more broadly, polemical, nature are bad for the project." -21 Jan 2006
"... [T]he number of userboxes, and in particular the number of very problematic userboxes, has exploded. I think this is seriously Not Good For Our Loving Little Community." -15 Feb 2006

Association of Wikipedians Who Dislike Making Broad Judgments About the Worthiness of a General Category of Article, and Who Are in Favor of the Deletion of Some Particularly Bad Articles, but That Doesn't Mean They Are Deletionists

Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet

It is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia.

This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.


My Latin Motto

The dusky grasswren (Amytornis purnelli) is a species of small passerine bird in the family Maluridae. The species is endemic to Australia, in which it is limited to inland areas of the Northern Territory, Western Australia and South Australia. The dusky grasswren inhabits rocky ranges and outcrops, often preferring tumbled talus or scree, and with areas of thick, long-unburnt spinifex grasses in the genus Triodia. In the wild, it has been observed feeding on a range of small arthropods and other invertebrates as well as seeds. The vocal repertoire of the dusky grasswren is varied and includes trills, high-pitched whistles, rapid twittering, and high-speed warbling. This dusky grasswren was photographed in Ormiston Pound in the Northern Territory.Photograph credit: John Harrison
