Today's motto...
→ Fond man! though all the heroes of your line
→ Bedeck your halls, and round your galleries shine
→ In proud display; yet take this truth from me—
→ Virtue alone is true nobility!

Tip of the day... Keyboard shortcuts Wikipedia has keystroke combinations that can speed up your work, like Alt+⇧ Shift+F to jump to the search box, Alt+⇧ Shift+E to edit, Alt+⇧ Shift+P to preview, Alt+⇧ Shift+S to publish your edits, and many more. Those are for Windows users. On the Mac OS, press Ctrl instead of Alt.

My day on Wikipedia begins with checking my watchlist. I review each change, add necessary comments, and revert any vandalism I come across. Occasionally I will click links to random pages and clean up articles that don't meet Wikipedia's standards, but the majority of my time is spent voting. And I don't mean for politics. My favorite spots are Featured picture candidates and Motto of the day. Here is a summary of the ideas I have suggested for others to vote on.
