VICENARIAN LIVES! The V-Man (Said · Done) 20:56, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

 
"I will always assume good faith on the part of my fellow editors and will be civil at all times, even to those who are not civil to me. I will NOT attack my fellow editors or disrupt Wikipedia to make a point. If involved in a content dispute, I will NOT engage in edit warring and will instead discuss contested edits and/or seek dispute resolution."
-- The Cool Editor's Creed


 
All clear!

Hello, Wikipedians! I am Vicenarian (IPA: /vɪsəˈnɛɹiən/), also known as "The V-Man," and this is my user page. My little boxes down the side will help you get a sense of who I am and what I do. The sections below will give you additional details about my current work, what I have done in the past and some of my projects planned for the future. The WikiStress meter to the right will tell you my current state of mind, and you can see my current editing status in the right-hand corner above.

In sum, I am who I am, and though my tasks and responsibilities around here are many, my ultimate goal is to prevent Wikipedia from ever being labeled like this:


 
"Primarily for Waste and Dog Poop"

Cheers, and happy editing! The V-Man (Said · Done)

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.
