I am Unit_72. Of course, by unit, I do not mean the slang term. I mean it rather as maybe a unit to deploy or a unit of technology. But in all reality, many usernames mean not as much as the person who inhabits the name, and the meaning of the name might change with the meaning of the user.

I'm a typically casual editor that sometimes goes into fits of obsession with one page or another, such as protecting it or overhauling it to meet GA or FA standards. I can be very passionate about a page, but that's just because I'm a perfectionist and don't want wrongfully included or excluded information. I usually back up my arguments with reason, sometimes direct references to sourcing.

My favorite part about Wikipedia is the effect your edits can have on others, and how improving an article can improve the quality of information across the internet. My least favorite part is sourcing, but that is nearly universal. I've recently unlocked The Wikipedia Library, and so now can source with more accuracy and quality; I hold my sources to a very high standard, especially if adapting an article for GA or FA.

My personal preferences, although they might not directly correlate to what pages I edit or do not edit, include stars (and space), dragons (I have quite the prodigious knowledge and interest), literature (especially fantasy, sci-fi, scientific, or philosophical), music, science, and ideas. I value creativity, imagination, and intelligence.

If you were wondering, my obsession as of late is the dragon article, which I've begun to overhaul to bring it up to FA standards. Currently, 1 part has been already published, 4 parts are written but yet to be published, and 5 planned parts are yet to be written. You can find my full plan at my "dragon" blueprint page.

I don't see why I should remain active.

If everything I try to do

Is rejected

If every time I try to do something

See a problem and try to fix it

Users come, seeking trouble

And seeing it where there is none.

I don't see why I should continue in this

If it is to no use

If I might be constantly "corrected"

Constantly dejected

Constantly reverted, deleted, subverted

I don't see why I should continue in this

If all that I ever do

Here, on this platform made for sharing information with the world

Is silenced

For fear of the unknown ㅤ


Citing, overriding, overwriting

They topple the towers of my confidence

Raze the gates of my citadel

They eviscerate every and all contributions

They see only the dark, I think

At least from my perspective

What is the use of this

If I might be tormented

Not by clubs or spears

But by what is far worse

You can see what is far worse ㅤ


To stand before these ideas

And be unheard

To be ignored

Seen as a menace to the un-understanding

Is a practice I would not recommend

But if you do wish to try

Do something original

Find a problem

Make something symmetrical

And maybe you'll be beaten too,

Hunted until there's no will left to resist

The jaws of this monster that is embodied and supported

By every single user that looks on with unseeing eyes

Who takes advantage of rules for the wrong reasons

And so, there is not much reason left for me

To remain here on this platform, and rot amidst the ruins of my fortress

The Agora is well and truly destroyed

Mistakes are made deadly, policies weaponized

To try to help the unhelpable is a futile game ㅤ


So why

Should

I

Even once

Attempt

To

Be

Bold?
