Hi. I'm Bratsche. Some call me Ben. You can try either; I'll get back to you after the beep.
I'm a student, who likes to read and fix mistakes. Wikipedia just fulfills my editorial cravings.
Since I don't have much in-depth knowledge of any one subject, but rather a mind full of trivia, I'm on a personal mission to destroy vandalism, delete nonsense and do basic janitorial work with my mop.
By the way, Bratsche means viola in German, my musical instrument of choice
Musicians: Why don't you leave me a good viola joke... :)

Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet
It is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia.
This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.
Winston Churchill (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965) was a British statesman, soldier and writer who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945, during the Second World War, and again from 1951 to 1955. Apart from 1922 to 1924, he was a member of Parliament from 1900 to 1964, representing five different constituencies. This black-and-white photograph of Churchill, titled The Roaring Lion, was taken on 30 December 1941 by the Armenian-Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh in the Centre Block on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Canada. The photograph is particularly noted for Churchill's posture and facial expression, which have been compared to the wartime feelings that prevailed in the United Kingdom – persistence in the face of an all-conquering enemy.Photograph credit: Yousuf Karsh
