Wikipedia -- proof that there are more pedants than vandals.

Hello, I'm Parijata Mackey, and I'm having a great time here. Although I was around for its inception, I officially joined Wikipedia in 2005. After years reading and lurking, I've started editing more, and creating articles I was dismayed did not already exist. I'm enjoying this; I plan to stay a while.
Articles I've created: Tesla's oscillator, French flag model, DIY biology, Signal averaging, Used bookstore, Statistical dependence, Synfire Chains, Bithorax complex, Biotic stress, Quantum limit, Planck matter, probably others that I've forgotten.
Please contribute to these articles, and help them grow, but vandals be warned -- you hurt them and I kill your family. Unless your edit makes me laugh. Then they escape with their lives. Much love!

As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls.

Scientists can never resist... and scientists will not resist. When it comes to the ethical questions of artificial intelligence, scientists just don't see red flags.

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

Did the Almighty, holding in his right hand truth, and in his left hand search after truth, deign to proffer me the one I might prefer: in all humility, but without hesitation, I should request the left hand.
