Peyton Dracco

Every man with a bellyful of the classics is an enemy to the human race.

Henry Miller

I have always viewed the mission of Wikipedia to be much bigger than just creating a killer website. We're doing that of course, and having a lot of fun doing it, but a big part of what motivates us is our larger mission to affect the world in a positive way.
