Welcome to my page.
General Info & Missions
General Info
- 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
- Musicians: Why don't you leave me a good viola joke... :)
- Contributors to the playful punishment of violists:
- Sango123
- Mindspillage
- RobertG
- Flcelloguy
- KnowledgeOfSelf
- ViolinGirl
- IvanP
- And Uncle Ed, who left more of a joke on me (shocking!) than on violas.
- Contributors to the playful punishment of violists:
- Musicians: Why don't you leave me a good viola joke... :)
- 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
- 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- You know, the above are hopelessly outdated.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
| 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 |
