I consider Wikipedia to be one among the greatest ideas in human history. To gather the knowledge of society, free for everybody to tap into, a product of many people working together as a peaceful collective - truly great. This I want to support.

Furthermore, I think that having someone write a Wikipedia entry about your person is a tremendable honour, much like having someone built a statue in your image, set there for the ages, a tribute to your achievements and efforts for society - naturally I myself dream of being honoured in this way. But this kind of honour only truly counts if somebody decided to write about you by their own choice and without an incentive from your side. What's more, I noticed that some people and organisations use Wikipedia not for the greater good but simply to project an ideal image of themselves, to use it as just another marketing tool or to give themselves more praise than they deserve - all under the cloak of objective truth that the concept of Wikipedia implies. In doing so they devalue said honour and metaphorically spit on the greatness that is Wikipedia. This I do not want to accept.

I therefore created this account for two reasons: Firstly I intend to contribute my knowledge whenever possible. Secondly I intend to sully idealizing or self-aggrandising entries by adding context and maybe even uncomfortable truth.

You may interpret this as an attempt at serving justice, righting wrongs, intellectual guerilla, peaceful protest, or just fun. It also kinda makes me feel like Batman.
