My name is Linda Mancia. I'm slightly different than the other users you find at Wikipedia. I'm not quite yet the full-fledged worm you need to be to really burrow in the apple tree of Wikipedia, more like the larvae when worms reproduce. As a different user, I do things differently, including my user page. While others write their preferences down on lists, I write them in alphabet songs.


Wikipedia and Me: The Alphabet Song edit

A is for Arts (one of my favorite subjects here- what everyone else seems to lack)

B is for Better Articles (every editor's dream)

C is for Cornered (the way you feel when a group of administrators gang up on you)

D is for Deletion Process (a real nightmare)

E is for Evolution (I don't care, it definitely happened)

F is for Featured Articles (the golden delicious apples of Wikipedia- also an article that everyone's tired of tearing apart)

G is for Guidelines (aka the excuse people have for deleting articles)

H is for Hell (something that occurs to me every time I open my mouth here- also one of my favorite Wikiarticles)

I is for I have a bad feeling about this (what happens to me whenever I sign on to Wikipedia)

J is for Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee (the thing I need to be on here until 1:09 in the morning)

K is for Kebabs (a piece of grilled meat on a stick- that's what you are after the Wikigestapo is done with you)

L is for Long-Arm-of-the-Wikilaw (a term used to describe administrators)

M is for Magic (something that was once to be found on Wikipedia- one of my favorite Wikiarticles)

N is for Nutshell (a savior to those who hate reading all those confusing guidelines- which is, of course, everyone)

O is for Optional (in other words, you have to do it)

P is for Palpatine (a name some might use for real nasty, domineering administrators- great Wikiarticle)

Q is for Queen Marguerite de Navarre (awesome queen who wrote lots of cool poetry- check out the Wikiarticle!)

R is for Random Article (a good thing to check out when you're bored)

S is for Shmi Skywalker (an article I worked hard to edit but the Wikigestapo rejected it)

T is for Tyranta (a long discussion I once had with a bunch of Wikiministrators and still never recovered from it)

U is for Under Investagation (in other words, you're done for!)

V is for Virgil (a brave Roman poet who had the great "pleasure" of being named Publius Vergilus Maro- but still awesome)

X is for X-actly my point (Wikilanguage; (n.) used as a term for compliance, agreeance, or support in Wikipedia)

W is for Witchcraft (what I expect is the cause of my bathroom toilet flushing when no one touches it- good Wikiarticle)

Y is for Y don't you guys just leave me alone? (something I've always wanted to say to the Wikigestapo when they start tying my hands to a chair)

Z is for Zing that I bring (and it's a wonderful thing)


..... and a partridge in a pear treeeeeeee!
