I'mShiva (orVisnu :) – theUltimate LordBLACKADDER of All Wikipedia

I'm a proudIndian andHindu. My first spell on Wikipedia was from 2008-09, when I made 3,000 edits. I returned in August 2010 to work more than ever.

I am one of the people who think Wikipedia is already the best reference point available in the world. Actually, to me, Wikipedia is no longer an encyclopedia – the quality and comprehensive nature of coverage on most topics goes far beyond any known encyclopedia "in history." Its on its way to become the world's biggest scientific journal, Who's who, sports magazine, film database, etc., etc. The unifying and unique element is the standards of quality.
