From Wikipedia:Help desk/Archives/2020 July 8:
"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit, in the same way that anyone can pass a driving test - but there are rules and regulations and ways of doing things which you will just have to learn the hard way; and writing an entire WP article is considerably harder than driving a car (maybe a helicopter); and there are other drivers who may be subject to road rage; and sockpuppets who undermine your best efforts; and there are also certain reasons why you should not edit Wikipedia; but if you bow down and ask gratefully at the All-Knowing and Mighty Help Desk™, the helpful volunteers will show you the way."
