Some trivia

• Did you know that if Wayne Gretzky had never scored a goal, he would have still won 4 scoring titles and still be the all time National Hockey League career leader in points?

Some quotes

• "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." — Wayne Gretzky
• Winston Churchill once said to a woman berating him for changing his position, “When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, madam?”
• "Katheen, I've been a nobleman for 400 years. I've lived in castles and palaces among the richest people of any age. Never...never have I stood in greater luxury than surrounds me now. This is a chamber of marvels. There isn't a king, or queen, or emperor that I have ever known or eaten who would step in this room and ever agree to leave it again. I knew the future would bring wonders. I did not know it would make them ordinary." Dracula (2020 TV series). I think this is exactly what is wrong with the world today. People don't know how good they have it and a little perspective would go a long, long way.
• "While tonight’s result is certainly not the one we had hoped for, the people are never wrong." — Stephen Harper, 20 October 2015
• "A society that puts equality — in the sense of equality of outcome — ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality nor freedom. The use of force to achieve equality will destroy freedom, and the force, introduced for good purposes, will end up in the hands of people who use it to promote their own interests." — Milton Friedman
• "Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times." — Geoffrey Michael Hopf
• "If fascism ever comes to America, it will come in the name of Liberalism." — Ronald Reagan, 1975
• "It's the economy, stupid" — James Carville
• "We have recently switched to drinking water bottles out of...water, when we have water bottles...out of a plastic...sorry...away from plastic towards paper...like drink-box, water-bottle sorta things." — Justin Trudeau
• "There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada," and consequently that "makes us the first post-national state." — Justin Trudeau
• "Take this thing on homosexuality. The view we take is, there's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation. What's done in private between adults doesn't concern the Criminal Code." — Pierre Trudeau
• "If it moves but shouldn't: Duct tape. If it doesn't move but should: WD-40. These two items cover all of your needs. Everything else in science is secondary." — Andy Weir

Tips for new editors

• Visit the Teahouse — it's a great place to have a cup of coffee!
• A minor edit does not mean a 'small' edit. "Checking the minor edit box signifies that the current and previous versions differ only superficially ... in a way that no editor would be expected to regard as disputable" and "any change affecting an article's meaning is not minor, even if it concerns a single word." So, before checking that minor edit box, make sure your edit is in fact minor. Not sure if your edit is minor? Better to not mark it as minor then.
• Help:Referencing for beginners is a great place to learn how to cite your work.
• Using edit summaries is a great way to let other users know about how you added to, or improved an article. "It is a good practice to provide a meaningful summary for every edit..."
