"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him." - Leo Tolstoy, 1897, quoted in"The Big Short," Michael Lewis (2010)

Happy First Edit Day, Edison, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 07:25, 1 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Damn. I remember that first edit in 2005. My great grandfather wrote in the 1920s about how the brain functions better when you are young. He was talking pre-Civil War. I remember the Eisenhower presidency. It’s nice to survive to be a fossil. Edison (talk), Edison (talk) 05:31, 4 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • Special report: What actually happened during the Wikimedia security incident?
    A horrifying exploit took place, which could have had catastrophic and far-reaching consequences if used maliciously; instead, it seems to have happened by accident and was used for childish vandalism. How did this happen, and what did the script actually do?
