"What are words for - when no one listens anymore"
Skraelinger is of male gender, located in Hamburg, Germany with a particular interest in Canadian and other hillbilly issues. In real life, Skraelinger is an undergraduate student of Psychology. Skraelinger is desperately trying to prove that he was on Wikipedia starting in 2002 or 2003, but since at that time he rarely cited sources for himself he is pretty much screwed.
"Architects of the world"
Wikipedia should only be considered a trustworthy source of information on topics with no econmical or political interest behind it. From what I experienced, the lobbyists are most persistent in pursuing their goals and will often pose as Wikipedians striving for NPOV. So my advice is - generally hesitate to believe anything that positively mentions a company, their products, politicians, parties or religious movements. Try to stay critical and don't let any article change your mind, try to imagine what motivation may underlie a certain claim. Of course it is more difficult to unmask articles, where the actual true information is not just falsified but missing or deleted. Just check several alternative sources yourself. This is my advice. Now have fun, 'cause there really is a lot of good stuff to discover as well on Wikipedia.
"You want to know by now"
I am not neutral and I guess nobody is, only multiple inputs make an objective output.
I am a Wikipedia inclusionist, more money is always better independent of the value.
I usually contribute to inexistent or niched articles.
I don't always know the fancy and hip expressions of contemporary English language, but my spelling is correct most of the time, otherwise I might have had a bad day.
I think the selection of wikipedia-admins should be randomized. The current method is nepotism in my opinion.
