The Wiki Creed

This is my wiki. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My wiki is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

My wiki, without me, is useless. Without my wiki, I am useless. I must scribe my wiki true. I must write straighter than my detractor who is trying to stifle me. I must best him before he bests me. I will…

My wiki and I know that what counts in this exercise is not the words we type, the noise of our emotion, or the tack we take. We know that it is the communication that counts. We will count…

My wiki is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its abilities and its limitations. I will keep my wiki true, even as I am true. We will become part of each other. We will…

Before God, I swear this creed. My wiki and I are the defenders of our ethic. We are the masters of our detractors. We are the saviors of my life.

So be it, until victory equals understanding and there is no enemy, but peace!
