Pr is supposed to educate the world what wikipedia is
all about.

Hoi,
The best response to complaints and criticism is for the people that
complain and criticise to be invited to be part of the solution. SOFIXIT
is
the mantra that brought us a lot of good. YES, I
find it important that
people are aware of the things that are dear to me. I blog about them
and I
do not only blog about them. I do what I can to
make a difference. I edit
in Wikidata on subjects that are relevant and do not get the attention
they
deserve. I do invite people to work on fixes for
templates that need
fixing
in a Wikipedia and I do showcase why the Occitan
Wikipedia is at the
forefront of getting our information out.
PR is important and makes a difference, people need to see that work is
done. People need to see that things progress. And really JJ you can
make a
difference too when you know so well what work
needs to be done. When you
think there is nothing that you can do, I am sure we can find something
for
you that makes a difference in the things you
care for. First thing is
for
you to know what you care for and how much you
want to involve yourself.
Thanks,
GerardM

PR is it?
How about correcting the faults people have gone to the trouble of
identifying for you, instead of trying to disguise them?
