I'm Wyatt Edwards, self-proclaimed geek and perpetual newbie*.

* Not because I know nothing, but rather because I love new projects and learning. So there.

I am a fan of immediately following an asterisk with its own footnote as well as wikifying my own user page. So there again. I am also a fan of non-sequiturs. Purple. (Heh heh. See what I did there? Yeah, I know, not funny at all.)

More about me than you could possibly want to know can be found via:

I was saved by the Invisible Pink Unicorn (Blessed Be Her Holy Hooves). Ask me how!

Note: I was not actually saved by the Invisible Pink Unicorn, nor do I worship her. I merely find mock religions interesting as demonstrations of the difference between truth and belief.

[edit] My thoughts on Wikipedia

  • It's amazing!
  • It should be inclusive rather than exclusive.
    • However, I am intolerant towards poorly-written entries, advertisements, and plagiarism/copyright infringement, feeling that no content is often better than bad content.
  • It's great that anonymous users can edit most entries.
    • However, anonymous users should be strongly encouraged to create user accounts in order to reduce vandalism.
  • Policies against obvious vandalism need to be stronger.

[edit] Notepad

I have a notepad here. It's for notes. Duh.

And my page for userboxes is here. Double duh.

I also have a list of pages I've marked for speedy and proposed deletion.

[edit] Me, as Expressed Through the Medium of Userboxes

This section is a work in progress. Read at your own risk. Or something.
