The Pledge of Tranquility, also known as the Tranquility Pledge, Dewikipedihol, the Control Pill, the Tranquilizer or the Tranquil Gun, (PoT) is an optional but recommended expression of tranquility when editing for the Wikipedia community. It is created to prevent the dangerous Editing Under the Influence from happening, thus making Wikipedia a safer environment.
The name is taken from the Pledge of Allegiance, with the 'Allegiance' section changed to 'Tranquility', which originated from the word 'Tranquilizer', a drug that is used to reduce anxiety, fear, tension, agitation, and related states of mental disturbance.[1] The term 'Dewikipedihol' is clearly taken from the Wikipedihol.
The content has been revised several times by user Gerald. For two days, he stresses on making entertainable yet understandable content. This stress flourishes after him just writing the content naturally, without even thinking what he is writing. The final draft before creation of this page is finished an hour later. He said that he will continue revising the pledge.
