Wikipedia is no place for humour.
Everything is very serious here and we are all terrifically important.

Love is all you need.

Overview

My participation in the Wikipedia project is based on my desire to contribute to the wealth of publicly, freely accessible information and hence contribute to an even more informed and, therefore, better society. My aspiration is to be a professional journalist, which would also allow me to fulfil this. For now, any writing I do – including contributions to the student newspaper – is unpaid, and that's okay.
