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  • You know, the above are hopelessly outdated.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

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.

Milestones

[edit]


Archibald Sinclair, 1st Viscount Thurso
Archibald Sinclair, 1st Viscount Thurso (22 October 1890 – 15 June 1970) was a Scottish politician and leader of the Liberal Party. After an education at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, Sinclair served on the Western Front during the First World War, rising to the rank of Major and working under J. E. B. Seely and Winston Churchill. After the war he worked with Churchill again when the latter was Secretary of State for War and Secretary of State for the Colonies. Sinclair entered the House of Commons as a Liberal MP in 1922, rising to become the party's Chief Whip by 1930. When the Liberal Party joined the National Government of Ramsay MacDonald in 1931, Sinclair was appointed Secretary of State for Scotland, holding the post until his party resigned from the government in 1932. He took over as Liberal Party leader in 1935 after incumbent Herbert Samuel lost his seat in the election. Sinclair returned to government as Secretary of State for Air in 1940, under Churchill's all-party Second World War coalition government. In this role he worked with the Royal Air Force (RAF) to plan the Battle of Britain. Sinclair remained a minister until the end of the coalition in 1945, but then lost his seat in the 1945 general election. He was elevated to the House of Lords in 1952. This portrait of Sinclair was taken by the RAF official photographer during the Second World War.Photograph credit: Royal Air Force official photographer
