I've been editing here[a] since 2005, off and on, but I've learnt a lot more than I've contributed.

For he has not written what was said nor the true sense of what was said, but instead offers what he thinks should have been said, and enumerates in all these speeches the concomitant details like someone at school trying his hand at a set theme; as if he were making a display of his own ability but not offering an account of what was truly spoken. — Polybius 12.25a, [1]

Yet despite all the failures, preconceptions and deceptions, Wikipedia's a marvel.

Might be handy some day

MOS:ERA serves us well as a truce. Without it, there are passionate, forthright and principled editors who would remove every BCE/CE from every article they worked on and some who would seek out any other uses too, restricted only by the equally passionate, forthright and principled editors busily removing BC/AD. You can see some strong opinions in 2022's discussion Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers/Archive 161#Article titles for years: BC/AD or BCE/CE.

Add talk page archiving with Help:Archiving (plain and simple). Bot may take a day to begin archiving, during which time there'll be a red link in the archives box.

Notes

  1. ^ By "here", I mean Wikipedia, particularly the English-language encyclopedia at en.wikipedia.org. If you're reading this somewhere else such as "WikiProjectMed" (e.g. https://mdwiki.org/wiki/User:NebY), it's not true and it reflects very badly on them.
