Why Vandalize?

Jimbo says, "If you are here to vandalize, why don't you turn around and become a contributor instead?" Mona Lisa, by Leonardo da Vinci Why vandalize? A bot or a person will revert your changes soon after they are made and then what do you have left? Nothing! If you make constructive edits -- that is, edits that improve the encyclopedia -- there is a chance that those edits will last for years, perhaps even for decades or longer. If, instead of painting and drawing, Leonardo da Vinci had tagged buildings with the 15th-century equivalent of graffiti, there would be nothing left of his work today and he would not be famous. But he chose to create works of art and science instead. Those works have inspired millions and have endured to modern times. Please consider becoming a constructive contributor. If you have questions about how to get started, please feel free to ask them below and someone will get back to you. Regards, Etamni | ✉ | ✓  11:13, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
