Our social policies are not a suicide pact. They are in place to help us write the encyclopedia. ... We need to take due process seriously, but we also need to remember: this is not a democracy, this is not an experiment in anarchy, it's a project to make the world a better place by giving away a free encyclopedia. - Jimbo Wales

Introduction

Hi. My name is Rick, and I live in Northern California.

I have been employed in the past as a technical writer, and have always been involved in quality control and editing, so I'm sort of addicted to editing. If you see me tinkering with your articles, please don't get upset. RickK

Barnstar awarded 23 Feb 2004 by Cimon avaro for tireless and thankless maintenance of Wikipedias integrity.

I just wanted to thank you for the good work you do keeping the vandals at bay. Since you already have a barnstar, I award you the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, with all the privileges and responsibilities it entails. →Raul654 05:37, Jul 26, 2004 (UTC)

Since you have already been decorated with everything else I find myself left with no choice but to award you the Order of Canada for your past work in defending our integrity. silsor 09:29, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)
