 ===== About Teh Guide =====
-Teh Guide is a little wiki that [[user/rsheyd]] created around 2023/09/05 to document things he learned, in a single organized source of information. He hoped to make it a public wiki that anyone can edit, kind of like Wikipedia.
+Teh Guide is a little wiki created around September 5th, 2023, to document things in a single organized source of information.
-He always liked the idea of having  [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrases_from_The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy#The_Answer_to_the_Ultimate_Question_of_Life,_the_Universe,_and_Everything_is_42|a guide to life, universe, and everything]], and this little wiki is an homage to that.
+It was also inspired by a fictional [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrases_from_The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy#The_Answer_to_the_Ultimate_Question_of_Life,_the_Universe,_and_Everything_is_42|guide to life, universe, and everything]].

   * An example of this was his question about how to create a chat group without a 2nd participant in WhatsApp, as described in the [[WhatsApp]] article. The question was marked as off-topic in the webapps stackexchange, and the editor said it should be sent to the WhatsApp developers as a feature request. This prevented Roman from finding, or being able to share, a workaround that people can use to accomplish this need.
