Hello everyone. This is Scott. I used to work on Wikipedia as 4SHIZZAL or SCOTT FREE, but I forgot my frickin' password! I've stayed away from Wikipedia for a couple of years due to being busy with work. I was also tired of all the trolls on Wikipedia whom wanted to argue on every little point about articles they knew nothing about. Then Wikipedia started begging for money, and I thought...SERVES THEM RIGHT!

Recently I went back to look at a lot of the articles I started on Pre Colonial African history and, alas, like Wolverine in Old Man Logan or Batman in Dark Knight Returns, I see my absence has done more harm than good. I started working on Wikipedia to preserve the little know knowledge on African history, and I think I did that pretty well. But LOTS of inaccurate statements are being posted that are misleading or just plain wrong. I can't responsibly sit by and do nothing.
