Hi. (你好). Welcome to my user page. (歡迎).
About me
    

My name is Eric Connor, but you can call me Pericles of Athens (after the ancient Athenian statesman). I'm an American United States of Irish, English, Swedish, Italian, and Slovenian descent. Currently I have a BA in History from George Mason University. I'm mostly interested in the history of China. However, I enjoy learning about the history of all places and cultures. For those who miss the old version of my user page, don't worry, it's still here!

Below are my listed contributions to Wikipedia, including my successful nominations of Good and Featured articles. There are also my barnstar awards granted to me by very gracious peers. But first, some words to live by:
Words of Wisdom
    

"If earlier chroniclers of human affairs had failed to bear witness in praise of history, it might perhaps have been necessary for me to urge all readers to seek out and pay special attention to writings such as these; for certainly mankind possesses no better guide to conduct than the knowledge of the past."

-Polybius (c. 203–120 BC), Greek historian


"The study of history is the best medicine for a sick mind; for in history you have a record of the infinite variety of human experience plainly set out for all to see; and in that record you can find for yourself and your country both examples and warnings; fine things to make as models, base things, rotten through and through, to avoid."

-Livy (59 BC – AD 17), Roman historian

The Golden Wiki Award
Few editors write DYKs. Fewer write GAs. And fewer still write FAs. I myself have been an editor here for almost two years and I've only managed to write one GA and two or three DYKs. Many of our colleagues never even achieve that. But not only do you write all three types of articles, you do it on a regular basis, and in one of the most neglected sections of the encyclopedia. Your contributions are of a professional level of excellence, both comprehensive and concise, yet fascinating and engrossing. Your collection of Song Dynasty articles remains one of the most remarkable accomplishments in Wikipedia's history. Only the featured topic on the Solar system, crafted by many editors over a long stretch of time, rivals this feat.

And yet you never lose your cool or your edge. Always friendly and diplomatic, you've proved refreshingly receptive and thoughtful towards suggestions for improvement and article critique. Your ability to consistently produce consistently fantastic content, escaping the drama and hubbub other prolific editors seem to find themselves in, while maintaining a level of scholarship that makes a fellow history major go "Damn...", you've become an example for other Wikipedians, including this one, to follow.

I often hear people criticize Wikipedia's content - its systemic biases, its tragic imbalance towards video games and entertainment, its inaccuracies and mistakes. In these cases, I'm proud to be able to point to your contributions and prove them wrong. For this, not to mention everything else I've mentioned, you most clearly deserve this award.
