Byzantine emperor Manuel I deliberately provoked the German contingent of the Second Crusade into fighting a battle just to make them leave? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Battle of Constantinople (1147). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Good work on this article. I recoiled in horror from the mess it was before but didn't have time to sort it out. References to the Blessed Robson fill me with confidence. Epeeist smudge (talk) 13:49, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Pet Hates on Wikipedia
I despise people who stick notices saying "needs a reference here" or "needs an image" - why not do something useful like looking for the damn things yourself!?
Oh yes! and jobsworth, "pocket-Hitler" administrators, and the goons who show up for FA reviews. Of course this extends to the idiots one comes across all too often, even if they do not also fit into the previously mentioned categories. "L'enfer, c'est les autres"
I hate Wikipedia a lot of the time - I indulge in editing it just because I hate finding things that are wrong, incomplete or badly expressed even more.
Disclaimer
In a Wikipedia context my interest is confined to writing lucid text and providing good supporting references and images. I care not one jot about how references are formatted (as long as they are complete), how linking is done and disambiguation (if it is a real word), and not an oppidan's fart about use of dashes and date layout. I leave such things to the people who find them to be of importance.
Envoi
The sweaty condensation, the stench and vileness, the cloacal humours, the brutal delights, the manifold tittering lubricities that have drained through humanity engendered a vast tumour known as Wikipedia. Share and enjoy.
