| ====I am learning German==== | |||
| I like getting simple messages from people in German, but unfortunately I am not really ready yet to conduct real conversations in German. I think that I will feel brave enough to promote myself from de-1 to de-2 by the time of ] this summer. We shall see. | |||
| ====My name in other languages==== | |||

| * ''"...I advise the world to relax a notch or two."'' – | |||
| * ''"Here, we are polite, thoughtful, smart, geeky people, trying only to do something which is undoubtedly good in the world: write and give away a 💕."'' – ] | |||
| * ''"Freedom of speech is critical for all cultures"'' – | |||
| * ''"To me the key thing is getting it right. And if a person's really smart and they're doing fantastic work, I don't care if they're a high school kid or a Harvard professor; it's the work that matters."'' | |||
| * ''" like a sausage: you might like the taste of it, but you don't necessarily want to see how it's made,"'' | |||
| * ''Greater involvement by scientists would lead to a "multiplier effect", says Wales. Most entries are edited by enthusiasts, and the addition of a researcher can boost article quality hugely. "Experts can help write specifics in a nuanced way," he says.'' | |||
| ==You may edit this page == | |||
| Really, you can! | |||
| This is my user page. I like to keep it a certain way. But, the thing is, I trust you. I trust that you'll add something here that makes me smile<!-- TANSTAAFL and DLTBGYD -->, that informs me, or that helps to inform others. If I have things in a certain format, I trust that you will respect that format. Actually, scratch that. Since this page is so simple and ugly, my ultimate dream is that some person who thinks it is fun will come along and make it look as perfect as ] user page. See that link up there '<span class="plainlinks"></span>'? Go for it. It's a wiki world!! – Jimbo | |||
| Note that quite a few Wikipedians watch my user page and will edit mercilessly or even remove altogether any alterations made. This ''is'' a wiki, after all. | |||
