Alternate account of Winged Blades of Godric

Religion, a medieval form of unreason, when combined with modern weaponry becomes a real threat to our freedoms.....

I stand with Charlie Hebdo, as we all must, to defend the art of satire....

‘Respect for religion’ has become a code phrase meaning ‘fear of religion’. Religions deserve.....our fearless disrespect.

Salman Rushdie

"Adults can change their circumstances; children cannot. Children are powerless, and in difficult situations, they are the victims of every sorrow and mischance and rage around them, for children feel all of these things but without any of the ability that adults have to change them. Whatever can take a child beyond such circumstances, therefore, is an alleviation and a blessing." - Mary Oliver

About me

Hello World. My name is Winged Blades of Godric. (I wouldn't mind my initials or plain old Godric either!). I'm a volunteer, which to me means that I get to encounter people from different corners of the world, encourage those with an inquisitive mind and collaborate for the greater good of the encyclopedia.

I am highly active at en.wiki.

This alternate acc. is to be used while I am in IIT, Kgp., my current study-place.

My work

I believe that Wikipedia is changing the way we find information, the way we share information with others, the way we record history and the way we think about collaborating for the collective good.So, let's drown us in the sea of change.

Reach out to me-- however suits you best and I’ll get back to you.

The primary task of a writer is to write well. (And to go on writing well. Neither to burn out nor to sell out.) … Let the dedicated activist never overshadow the dedicated servant of literature — the matchless storyteller.Susan Sontag

Any article edited by a promotional editor should always be deleted. This is the only way to discourage people from using the WP for advertising. If the subject is actually important, someone else will create an article. Rescuing it sends the message that if you write an unacceptable article about yourself, someone will very possibly fix it for you, and therefore you might as well try to advertise here. It furthermore sends the message that if you hire someone to write an article and they take money for doing this, and they write the usually unacceptable article such people write, then someone will fix it for you free, while the guy who wrote the bad article gets the money.

Wikipedia may be the encyclopedia anyone can edit, but that is a misleading slogan. Yes anyone may edit it, but there is a learning curve before you get to the point where you can edit it. John from Idegon
