Wikiwork

I joined wikipedia in February 2005 (though I have some earlier edits) and became an adminstrator on October 28, 2005. I am heavily involved with the Missing article project, creating and continuing to work on the the Catholic Encyclopedia Project. I also had a hand in the Hotlist. You may also see me at articles for deletion, disambig repair, merging articles, fixing double redirects or welcoming new users. I also revert vandalism wherever I can find it. I consider myself a wikignome and have over 5,000 edits. Take this number with salt though, I try very hard to use the preview button and write edit summaries, so this number may be lower than my actual "contribution". I scored a 134 on the Wikipediholic test.

New articles

Some I'm proud of, others not so much so, oddly most of the work is not related to Missing Encyclopedic articles

• Speed wobble - Interesting phenomenon, I fell off real hard riding my skateboard because of this many years ago
• Washington Monument (Baltimore) - nice place to visit, good views of the city
• Nelson (band) - I remember their hit song and created only it because they were redlinked
• Welcome to Wherever You Are - Used to be one of my favorite INXS albums
• Liquidmetal - I kept reading about all the liquidmetal racquets and thought wiki needed an article
• Paul Van Riper - created after reading an excellent interview that was critical of the Iraq War
• Card marking - Poker interest
• Clairvius Narcisse - something I created after wandering around wikipedia
• Sloppy Joe's (bar) - cool bar in Key West and a haunt of Ernest Hemingway
• Doily - my grandma always had doilies, so I started the article
• Alen - Saw this at Online Coversion and thought about doing all unusual measurements listed but eventually lost interest

WikiPhilosophy

I am an inclusionist and eventualist, which stem from my Wikiliberal beliefs. (see also Wikipedia philosophies for some background). Despite this, I follow the notability guidelines for at Wikipedia:Importance for AFD. I stand strong against censorship and ignorance. I believe that most users are actually trying to help wikipedia though there are malicious or bored people who want to destroy it, though I agree with the statements by User:Bluemoose about the minimal contribution of anonymous users.
