A novice was once curious about the nature of the Edit Count. He approached the Zen master and asked, "Zen master, what is the nature of the Edit Count?"

"The Edit Count is as a road," replied the Zen master. "You must travel the road to reach your destination, and some may travel longer roads than others. But do not judge the person at your door by the length of the road he has travelled to reach you."

And the novice was Enlightened.

Ko te manu kai i te miro, nona te ngahere;
Ko te manu kai i te matauranga, nona te ao.
The bird that feeds on the miro berry, his is the forest;
The bird that feeds on knowledge, his is the world.

— Māori proverb, courtesy of Sonia

THIS

IS AN
ENCYCLOPEDIA

One gateway
to the wide garden of knowledge,
where lies
The deep rock of our past,
in which we must delve
The well of our future,
The clear water
we must leave untainted
for those who come after us,
The fertile earth,
in which truth may grow
in bright places,
tended by many hands,
And the broad fall of sunshine,
warming our first steps
toward knowing
how much we do not know.

Video that I produced for English Wikipedia's milestone of five million articles, complete with typo which I didn't spot until someone pointed it out to me. I estimate that this video required 60 to 80 hours to produce with the tools that I had at the time. If you cannot see the video in high definition then please try a different web browser.
