User:Guettarda
In memory of an old friend: M.M. 1977-2005 - you will be missed.
We made it!!! After getting so close in 1973 and 1989, we finally qualified for the 2006 World Cup.

I have been "attacked" as Guettarda - Liberal Admin, and criticised for editing topics I know about. I don't think there is any better compliment here in Wikipedia. Maybe I'll add that to my sig.
Primary Interests

- Trinidad and Tobago (and the Caribbean in general)
- Forest ecology (plus everything else in the world of organismal biology)
...and a little of everything else, especially history. So much to do, so little time - the story of Wikipedia, I suppose (although it's also the story of my life).

Is the project still viable when trolls and mischief-makers are able to drive out contributors, when stalkers and people carrying out private vendettas seem to be able to attack and harass editors at will? What can Wikipedia to do protect its editors, the people who actually write the encyclopaedia? The system as it stands can only deal with individuals who really go over the line. What can we do to protect people against constant low-level harassment? What can we do about people who attack other authors while staying just inside the lines of acceptable behaviour? |
Other stuff
Got the 11th edit after the upgrade!
