So for those taking BIO476, or those who have friends taking BIO476, or those who have heard me mention that in BIO476 there's a Wikipedia edit assignment that we have to do. And my topic is first of all a Wikipedia protected one from vandalism apparently.

That was fine with me. So I chose a subtopic. The treatment of multiple sclerosis.

It was late at night and I just want to get it over and done with. Not like I care so much since the information up there looks like it's sufficient. So, I did what most students like to do. CTRL-C and then CTRL-V and there goes a nicely-written phrase on Wikipedia.

Was crushing some candies for a while since it was already too late for bed anyway (is there even such a thing as too late for bed?? anyway....)

Then suddenly I got a new message from some random 29-year-old Spanish psychologist who welcomed me to Wikipedia and started assuming things. I don't blame him either, wasn't his fault for thinking that I am super interested in multiple sclerosis because I've edited tonnes and tonnes of times (EXAGGERATION ALERT!) and was finally pleased with what I did.

He started like this :

"It seems you are really interested in multiple sclerosis (NO WAY!) and some of your additions to the treatment of multiple sclerosis are potentially very interesting. Moreover, sources you have chosen are usually high quality reviews which is perfect for wikipedia (OK, THAT'S FLATTERING). 

BLAH BLAH BLAH......then.....

Specially harmful was the copy-and-paste from the abstract of the source to management of acute-attacks section. This is a copyright violation and I had to eliminate it completely.(OOPS SO MUCH FOR THE CTRL Cs AND Vs)

BLAH BLAH BLAH......then....

Contact me here or in my talk page, and I'll try to give you some hints on wikipedia editing. I have been the main contributor the both the multiple sclerosis article and treatment of multiple sclerosis so I am really interested in having the best possible articles, and you could be of great help. (YEAH, MAYBE IF YOU HIRE ME TEEHEEE)

TEEHEE but somehow I got to thank him anyway. I might end up in the dean's office instead if he hadn't removed it. Oh well in the end, before he goes ahead and removes more and leave me with only one sentence that I edited, I quickly hit the print as pdf button.

And then I replied him, just to clarify that I am not as interested in multiple sclerosis as he thought I would be and to clarify so that he won't be waiting for me to be his potential helper in guarding the MS wiki page (I'd rather be counting fruit flies)

T'WAS A LONG LONG NIGHT


BACK TO CRUSHING SOME CANDIES!!!
