Well, this is my little User Page. Might as well get it started. For the record, though, I'm relatively new at this. So bare with me for a moment.

[edit] Personal Information

[edit] Personal History

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Well, first, my e-name is Claude Joseph Pfeffernüße (my username being a hybrid of that and Xanadu). I am a 3rd year Undergraduate student at the University of Lethbridge studying for my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. I was born in Halifax, to Albertan parents, and moved to Alberta when I was quite young. Anyways blah blah blah and here we are now. I like to explore other ideas, I like to assimilate information into my consciousness. I can read/write/understand French, English and Spanish, and just barely pick out German, hence the inclusion in the table above.

[edit] Biases

Of course we all have biases when we come to Wikipedia. Most people will not admit to them, and try to cover it up. However when you read articles made by people, some times their biases appear, and it is hidden and unevident (it's hidden to the contributor also, she doesn't know that her bias is affecting her work). So I shall right now for the sake of reviewers finding unintentional leaks into my articles. First, I am a former, very devout Catholic. However, in the last few years, I have gone full circle on that. And am today completely atheist. So that may be a point. Also, I am pacifist, leftist, and idealist. These may bring a problem, I am hoping not.

[edit] What I bring to Wikipedia

Just simple experience in Philosophy, maybe a less elitist look at certain things, a problem that I see seems to dominate philosphy. I have some good knowledge in linguistics, and may be able to translate certain articles between the En-Fr-Es wikis.

[edit] Contributions

 This article documents a current event.
Information may change rapidly as the event progresses.

[edit] Wikipedia

Since I am fluent in two languages and almost fluent in the third, I shall contribute the best I can in all three. I use the same username in all three languages. I have just recently signed-up as a Wikipedian, so some of these contributions are under my IP, User:70.65.179.198, which redirects here.

[edit] English

  1. Morning Star (m)
  2. Possible universe (And spelling variants) To redirect to Possible world
  3. Jet injector
  4. Transporter (Star Trek) Added a Philosophy section
  5. Absolutely Fabulous (m) Wikiquote template
  6. Draft (nautical) (m)
  7. Red Deer, Alberta -> {{Canadian City}} Template
Other various spelling fixes

[edit] French

I may have added some spelling corrections a while ago, but as of yet still haven't produced anything substancial.

[edit] Spanish

I have not made any relevant contributions so far.

[edit] Wikiquote

Same as above, I am attempting to add French and Spanish quotes as well as English ones. This shall be eaiser than the Wikipedia, though. In Wikiquote, all three languages I use the username Xanadu. I have just recently signed-up as a Wikipedian, so some of these contributions are under my IP, User:70.65.179.198, which redirects here.

[edit] English

  1. Absolutely Fabulous - Many quotes
  2. Joni Mitchell (m)

[edit] French
