Failure: Without it, the world would be a different place. On Wikipedia, failure is a good thing because people are prone to mistakes, and they learn as a result of them. Every administrator probably has a few edits where they failed at something, but they will tell you that they learned as a result of it. Although failure is not encouraged in the outside world, failure here is valuable because people learn from their mistakes. So go ahead, fail! It can easily get erased here and won't cause massive havoc to the rest of the world.
