===Mission statement===
{{cquote|
I joined Misplaced Pages for a simple reason. I believe in education. Ignorance and misunderstanding are, in my humble opinion, the greatest sources for the difficulties and struggles mankind faces in this day and age. I strongly believe in the idea of people sharing their knowledge in an easily accessible, neutral, fact-based forum such as Misplaced Pages. The internet has presented us with a new tool to make this world a better place. Misplaced Pages presents an essential step in using this great global resource to improve the human condition. I, like many people, not only have a craving for knowledge but also a perhaps equally strong desire to share at least part of the knowledge which I have acquired. I strive to add useful, educational and wholesome information to Misplaced Pages. I believe that no credible believe or theory should be excluded. Furthermore I believe that we must be as through as possible in our attempts to educate those who come to Misplaced Pages in the search for information. For me, Misplaced Pages is a place where the internet has full-filled a part of its promise, to provide a place where people can come together and share their expertise.

That said my favorite Misplaced Pages rule is '''BE BOLD!'''.
