A caricature of Blnguyen

[edit] Who is Blnguyen?

Blnguyen (born early-mid 1980s) is a wikipedia editor from Australia, who began editing in September 2005. He became active in December and became an administrator on May 29, 2006. Since then, he has been stomping about deleting unencyclopedic material, clearing deletion backlogs, reverting and blocking vandals and updating Template:Did you know. He appears to have incurred the wrath of many users, but as always remains poker-faced, tapping away on his keyboard. It is believed that he is the first YellowMonkey to hold such a role.

In June 2006 he was amused when his semi-protection of the Mahatma Gandhi and full protection of the Military budget of the People's Republic of China and Human rights in the People's Republic of China articles which he enacted here, here and here due to vandalism and edit-warring was reported in the Indian media and the New York Times.

He has a preference for writing about sport, geography, Eurovision and sometimes maths and physics articles as well. He likes to collect DYKs and also attempts to create some featured material. Being mathematically inclined, he likes a bit of order and patterning and creates templates from time to time. Due to his colourful nature, he likes to create portals in an attempt to increase the vibrancy of Wikipedia.

In line with his urge to make make Wikipedia more graphically attractive, he likes to provide photographs for Wikipedia, with his digital camera. However, he is not the best at this. He has also taken to recording Vietnamese audio pronounciations for articles, and also translates some Vietnamese articles from time to time.

He appears to be something of a glutton for punishment, and sometimes tries to resolve disputes.

He finally got his first FA, Ian Thorpe, which is rather long (100kb+) at the start of December. Some people said it was too long.

At the end of the year was appointed to the Arbitration Committee for 2007 and 2008.

In March 2007, Harbhajan Singh became his second FA. It was 82kb. On March 25, Ian Thorpe was featured on the main page to coincide with the opening day of swimming at the 2007 World Aquatics Championships. It was possibly one of the most controversial TFAs of all time, involving a revert war over the picture on the main page. It attracted strong criticism at Talk:Ian Thorpe and Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/March 25, 2007, with one declaring that FAs had plumbed a new level.

“

While casual observers probably didn't notice anything odd, many Wikipedia editors did, and it doesn't look good. This is a farce, but I don't think copyright people are to blame here. This is a big article, one of the cruftiest I've seen. A new low for featured articles. GregorB 21:54, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

”

He has nominated 17 administrative candidates, all but one of whom passed.

In real life, he is often accused of reading too many theoretical physics and pure mathematics textbooks.

He also has commons and meta accounts of the same name.
