I was once a great poet among the Heodenings, until I was displaced and sent wandering by Heorrenda, a more skillful poet. When my travels carry me into the more unfrequented regions of Wikipedia, I tend to potter about, making small emendations.
I also have an alternative (non-admin) account, Trout Slap Replica, for editing on non-secure computers.

This user is a poet from the Dark Ages, and many aspects of your modern world frighten and confuse him.

Our motto: "It's only hard if you make it hard"
The PENISS Prize
On behalf of the People Encouraging Niceness (and/or Eschewing Nastiness) In Society Society, I hereby award you the PENISS Prize.
The prize is the highest (and sole) honour in the gift of the Society and is awarded irregularly, on merit. It entitles the awardee to the postnominal letters P.E.N.I.S.S. (in appropriate contexts, of course).
It confers automatic membership of the Society, and it thus bestows the power to award the prize to others*, and they to others, in perpetuity. .
Remember, the more PENISSes in the world, the better for all of us. What a nice thought. Please continue your good work!
