My name is Tuf-Kat, and I am an admin and a long-time Wikipedian. I live in the US. I write a lot about music, but occasionally work on other subjects. One of these days, I will make this userpage cool. Maybe.

My favorite band is probably the Violent Femmes; other favorites include Bob Dylan, OutKast and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

My first edit to the Wikipedia was at 10:17:30 on August 27, 2002.

Am I the last Wikipedian to think userboxes are just plain dumb? I think I'm the only one who uses the "doesn't like userboxes" userbox and no other userbox.

[edit] Articles

Articles I had a significant hand in getting to featured-level include:

1. blues
2. hip hop music
3. music of Athens, Georgia
4. music of the Lesser Antilles
5. music of Maryland
6. music of Minnesota
7. music of Nigeria

Some others I think are close: music of Dominica, music of Hungary, music of Italy, music of Philadelphia, music of Saint Lucia

Dear TUF-KAT, you are the original person having added RGB values to color names in the article "List of Colors". I, and my colleages from the Munsell Color Science Laboratory are puzzled by this and before we attempt to remove all these values, we'd like to know where you got this information from. If what you did is simply convert the Hex values into RGB, then you were assuming that the colors listed were from the W3C standard. Color names and actual RGB values are two very distinct things. Originating with the X11 color names, this was acceptable as long as the color names only referred to values producible by NTSC-bound computer displays, but unfortunately, many of the names chosen then referred to classical color names relating to physical pigments, which cannot be imaged even on today's best computer screens, and for which, therefore, there cannot be unqualified RGB values. For these types of colors, we use photometric units and the CIE XYZ color space. Ppanzini 03:41, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
