| For your remarkable thoroughness in cleaning up other people's technical errors. I don't mean to step on your toes, but I appreciate the few times you've fixed whatever I've broken. One only has to look at your contributions to see you doing the same thing everywhere. :) Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 09:57, 27 September 2025 (UTC) |

bot help
Thank you, user who knows the secret to winning the Race Against The Machine, for helpful bots and for cleaning up yourself ("removing WP:OVERLINK to an everyday word"), for redirects and templates such as {{Forms of energy}}, for detailed analysis and offering to serve as arbitrator: "Don't underestimate how far I'm willing to go to read the background", - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Did you know
- Martin Luther King's final Sunday sermon referenced the thesis of "The Triple Revolution", which primarily discussed the cybernation revolution of increasing automation, whereby machines would continue reducing the need for manual labor, while increasing the skill needed to work, thereby producing greater unemployment
- The Eureqa software tool used genetic programming to discover the law of conservation of energy on its own
- Much of the work I've done for Wikipedia could be offshored to anywhere, or automated (indeed much is already semi-automated; run my edit history through some machine learning algorithms to automate more)
- Here come the robots: Davos bosses brace for big technology shocks
Important historical events that don't get their due
- The fourteenth and fifteenth British colonies, East Florida and West Florida, remained loyal to the Brits during the American Revolution
- The 1863 New York City draft riots remain the largest civil and racial insurrection in American history, aside from the Civil War itself
- The 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire led to labor reforms that became the template for the New Deal
- It followed the New York shirtwaist strike of 1909 (by the way, the building still stands)
- Luckily the 1980 Damascus Titan missile explosion did not release any radioactive material from its 9-megaton nuclear warhead
