Jets of water vs. existentialism (xkcd)

Well, I'm kind of new here¹, okay, but the internet was wrong²!

1. I had an account long ago and have used MediaWiki many a time
2. And I'm the only one who can fix it! ... right?

• What or who is this "Princeton" of which you speak? EEng 00:10, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

A lawless place only accessible by a creaky old train. Shadowssettle_(talk) 09:07, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

I followed your "lawless" link (re Princeton's attempt to establish a law school) and found Previously, in the 1820s, an attempt was made to organize teaching in law, but this plan ended with the death of the designated professor, which I momentarily misread as "ended in the death of the designated professor", and I thought, oh dear.

Student editing

Imperial College London

As a current undergraduate student of Imperial College London, I do realise that I may have an unconscious bias on this subject. It does seem to be is the norm for student editors to take part in improving the coverage of their institutions, so much so they might be the largest contributing group. I will continue to contribute to the topic on Wikipedia, maintaining an awareness for neutrality, and keeping my possible COI clear in any POV debate. I attempt to the best of my ability to retain the balance of any articles I edit on the subject (or any other for that matter). If you do think I'm being biased for my conflict of interest, please do bring it up on my talk page or on the article's. Naturally, others' opinions of bias (users not associated with the college) should take precedence over mine, as per guidelines, although I've always been and will be on the anti-puffery side of the argument (as every Wikipedian should).
