According to Stoicism...

So is this a good school of thought to apply to everyday tasks on Wikipedia?

No more bad days. No more good days.

In the face of daunting odds on Wikipedia, though surely not so daunting as the odds of Mohsen Hojaji when the word "stoic" was connected to his final image, how stoic must we truly be here?

• 
  Jedi's are suppose to stoics. In the words on Master Jedi Yoda... With a bit of stoicism wikipedians could do.

But there is a catch. Stoicism for Wikipedia editors can only be achieved through writing. It is our words here that create the images of our philosophy and it is the words through which we can define a person as a stoic here.

• 
  Clearly not a stoic
•

  Would "Think of the children" argument work here?
• 
  Together... cheers!

As an afterthought, bots on Wikipedia are the true stoics.

  But maybe we shouldn't be as stoic as this robot worker, nor like Ex Machina
• 
  Maybe if you do have to be as stoic as a robot, be one that can play a trumpet.
