Back in the day (as early as 2nd September, 2002) I used to edit anonymously; I created Winnipeg General Strike, among others. It's immensely gratifying to see how much better those articles have become in the last five years. Compare [1] ,
[2],
[3],
[4],
[5],
[6], and
[7] with their present versions. Yes, those were the halcyon days, when colorless red links slept furiously, awaiting article creation, on all sorts of important topics. A sentimental tear falls. But don't think that Wikipedia was ever an ideal world. Sadly, some of my first edits were also part of my first edit war, regarding information about US military aid in the rape of East Timor. I even assumed bad faith!. Oh, the shame.
When I found out that anonymous editors cannot upload images, I created Caterpillar, Inc. over information which I forgot that I had introduced to Caterpillar D9 almost four years earlier. Plus ça change!
These days I am firmly convinced that the application of extension of policy by other means .
I tend to shoot from the hip on talk pages, and I also have an interest in controversial topics including the systemic bias at its worst.
