“The childhood of the human race is far from over. We
have a long way to go before most people will understand that what they do for
others is just as important to their well-being as what they do for
themselves.” – William T. Powers

I got some time free after all. I think we’re OK now so I removed the {{refimprove}} template which generated the tag, but I may not have picked the most apt references for each particular assertion in this very short article. Feel free to substitute. The citation templates are at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_templates

Apology for the alarming subject line. I’ve recently been mauled by a couple of very aggressive editors on another topic in Wikipedia that I worked on three years ago, and I leaped to the conclusion that this coming from the same people. Nope, different person, and this flag seems to have been innocuous and well-intentioned housekeeping.
