Deep thoughts
[edit]Darnit, I missed my anniversary. 20 years, and hundreds of hours wasted.... ...the bitter satisfaction of out-living (or at least out-lasting) the gangs of socks that made editing so unpleasant....

[edit]Even though Manitoba is required to publish all official proceedings in both English and French, English has been declared the only "offical" langauge by sacred Wikipedia consensus. Wikipedia....where the mighty Winnipeg river runs through Winnipeg on its way to the sea. Where the ceramic gas exists. Where the elephant population is booming, and the power factor can be any number you like.

Editor retention
[edit]I can make your Wikipedia existence miserable while staying strictly within policies and not using my admin tools. --Ymblanter (talk) 18:37, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
Yes. Yes they can. Stanford prison experiment.
Always side with the anonymous asshole instead of the long-term named editor.

[edit]John Wesley Cockburn (January 9, 1856-November 9, 1924) was a Canadian engineer, entrepreneur and City of Winnipeg alderman. He was responsible for securing development rights on the Winnipeg River to allow the city to build a hydroelectric generating station.[1]
Born in Thorold, Ontario in 1856, Cockburn studied mechanical engineering and worked at hydroelectric developments at Niagara Falls and on the Welland Canal. In 1882 he came to Winnipeg while working for the Canadian Pacific Railway. With a partner, he operated a general store and grocery in Winnipeg. In 1891-1892 he served as a city alderman, and was reelected in 1901 through to 1907.[1]
