While Ezratrumpet once edited Wikipedia often, and was once a bane of many WikiTrolls, he grew weary of endless WikiBattles, and now limits his editing to punctuation, oddly constructed sentences, and other such oddities.
He has yet to receive a
Pulitzer Prize, win a popular election, or make a discovery of such significance as to merit a Wikipedia article of his own.
Nonetheless, he remains ambitious and optimistic.

This user is aware of how silly this huge table looks on his user page, but acknowledges that its real purpose is twofold: statistics and standardization.
Wikipedia:Did you know... is a section you can see on the
Main Page. It showcases new or recently expanded articles that are selected through an informal review process. It is not a general trivia section.
Wikipedia:Did you know (WP:DYK) is the project page for the "Did you know" section. For the discussion page see WT:DYK.
Beginners should consult
this Did You Know glossary if they don't understand any of the terms used. Beginners may like to start by looking at a summary of our
many rules: this provides links to pages with more detailed explanations (which in turn may link to even more detailed pages).

Kevin Gately died on 15 June 1974 as the result of a
head injury received in the
Red Lion Square public disorder in London while protesting against the
National Front, a
far-right,
British fascist party. Gately, a 20-year-old student, was not a member of any organisation. On 15 June, the National Front held a march through
central London in support of the expulsion of immigrants. A counter-demonstration was planned by
Liberation, an
anti-colonial pressure group. When the Liberation march reached Red Lion Square, the
International Marxist Group twice charged the police cordon blocking access to
Conway Hall(pictured). Police reinforcements forced the demonstrators out of the square. Gately was found unconscious on the ground. He was taken to hospital and died later that day. A
public inquiry into the events was conducted by
Lord Scarman, who found no evidence that Gately had been killed by the police, although he found fault with some police actions. There was further violence associated with National Front marches and the counter-demonstrations they faced, including in Birmingham, Manchester, and the East End of London (all in 1977), and in Southall in 1979, which led to the
death of Blair Peach. (Full article...)
