Name

Though my username is clearly a play on a well-know template,^{[citation needed]} it in no way implies that I have any disregard for WP:RS or WP:NOTE (quite the opposite). My aim was to come up with a slightly tongue-in-cheek Wikipedia-adjacent name, and honestly I was surprised by the fact that it wasn't already taken. With that said, it does make quite a cool signature.^{[citation unneeded]} (talk)
