What is the Society?
editThe Five Second Society is an informal grouping of editors who have been contributing to the Wikipedia project for five seconds or more. It exists so that editors can celebrate one-twelfth of a minute of contributing to a project they are passionate about, to help form connections between long-term participants in the encyclopedia, and to allow the sharing of perspectives and expertise. It is not intended as a form of one-upmanship, but as a good-natured recognition of enthusiasm and dedication. The Society currently has roughly 0 members. [update]
Membership
editMembership, as the name suggests, is simply conditional upon having been an editor for at least five seconds. In the original spirit of wiki cooperation as it began, this prestigious membership is entirely optional and freely given. Any editor may suggest membership to or bestow membership upon any qualifying editor, who is welcome to accept or decline it. There is an invitation template that can be used to invite new members.
Members who would like to indicate membership in the Society on their user page can use the {{User:Captchacatcher/Five Second Society/Userbox}} userbox.
