Scott Gall (October 8, 1988-) is an 18-year-old male of Caucasian origin from Halfway Bush in Dunedin, New Zealand (which is 1600 kilometers east of Australia if you didn't know.)
I think Wikipedia is the largest website in the world, but even if it's not the largest, it's one of the best. If I ever get sysop status, I will chase down every vandal and make sure they pay dearly for their actions (In February, I directed an administrator to the IP of somebody from Malaysia that posts religious nonsense on Internet sites. He had been at it for an unspecified period of time [probably since the beginning of the Internet] and can generate more than you want to see at any one time.)
I'm an inclusionist, so wherever i see a VFD page, I look at the votes that have already been placed and vote against the deletion if I can. I also look at the recent changes to look for vandalism, and if I catch a vandal, I keep an eye on him, and get an admin involved if I have to. I have never been in a dispute over editing (but some of my work has involved copyright violations [fortunately only a bare minimum] and original research [I once put my own proposal for a world currency union in an article] - sorry if your stuff has been copied,) and where possible, I:
- Use all the possible spellings of a certain place or name.
- Have numbers 1,000 (1000) or above with AND without commas. (In practice, I use the number with commas and have the number without commas after it in brackets. This doesn't work with years - would you prefer if I was born in 1,988 or 1988?)
- Add equivalent imperial units to articles. (I prefer metric units but I use imperial equivalents as well where NPOV is an issue.)
- Take both sides if I do get involved in an edit war (but I know for certain that the village of Greendale in Postman Pat is in the county of Yorkshire but is inspired by a real village in the county of Cumbria.)
- Add the "potatoe" spelling near any sightings of the word "potato" - that'll keep Dan Quayle happy (happye.)
I want to be the most unbiased Wikipedian of 2006.
I have left a testing space at the bottom, but mind how you use it. Also, you may fix up typing errors on my user space as well as award barnstars, which should really be on the talk page.
I have over 80 userboxes on my page.
I am Stewie. Which Family Guy character are you?

[edit] TV shows
- Aqua Teen Hunger Force ('cos we are the Aqua Teens, we make the homies say 'ho' and the girlies wanna scream...)
- Family Guy
- South Park (I didn't see anything wrong with the Bloody Mary episode, except that statues can't bleed)
- Little Einsteins (I know it's childish, but...)
- Bro Town (I'd give anything to see the fourth season)
- Anything with Ali G
- Angela Anaconda (one death threat and you're gone)
- Dora the Explorer (I know it's immature, but...)
- Winnie-the-Pooh (if you're my age, you'll probably remember The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh)

[edit] TV show
CSI
Once Were Warriors (please don't post death threats on my talk page - it's not that I don't appreciate Kiwi cinema, it's just that I don't like seeing too much violence in one film)
"Three Point One Four" by Bloodhound Gang - it's about vaginas. In fact, the whole album was so crap that I was compelled to sneak it off my mother's CD rack and pawn it. However, "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo" was quite well done - the fact it was off a different album was a co-incidence.
[edit] Takeaway food
Subway. It is just disgusting, and I don't see how you can handle it.
[edit] Ways in which Wikipedia is like a society
- An IP address is similar to a tourist. A user account is similar to a citizen. An admin is similar to a janitor or a policeman.
- The arbitration committee is like a court.
- Blocks and bans are similar to arrests or excommunication.
- Warnings about vandalism or spam are similar to police cautions.
- Edit wars are similar to a fight in the school corridor. Flame wars are similar to gang warfare.
- Page protection, in an edit war, is similar to a school detention.
- Page protection, after an instance of vandalism, is similar to Youth Aid. (I don't think that's available for idiots who trash Wikipedia with libelous and offensive material about, for example, Gyanendra of Nepal. I'm an ex-vandal that's trying to work for the good of Wikipedia.)
[edit] Twenty things that will make this world better for everyone, Wikipedian or not
I had to stay up past my bedtime to write this, so don't you go vandalizing it, OK?
- People should start using condoms when having sex if not planning pregnancy. If you don't got the rubba, there be no Hubba Hubba! (If you're a Catholic and Pope Benny's tricking you into thinking there's no point in doing so, don't believe him.)
- There should be a single currency for all, and I don't think the euro or United States dollar will be a good enough currency for everyone. (The euro's a good enough start, though. So is the CFA/CFP franc and the GCC unit that's starting in 2010.)
- The United Kingdom should stop being a kingdom and start being a republic. New Zealand's on British Commonwealth territory too, you know. (And we should also remove the religious references from both our anthems.)
- There should be laws stopping people from giving access to the cistern just in case somebody who is just being a jerk decides to take a dump in it. (If you're thinking of doing that, just imagine if somebody did that in your cistern.)
- Everyone should be forced to like Angela Anaconda. (Angela Anaconda rocks.)
- Gang warfare should be punished by execution. (This is a warning to anyone who is involved in gangs - you're lucky that won't happen if nobody gets killed.)
- People should be allowed to make personal attacks on Wikipedia, as long as they are directed at a (former) political leader which is NOT a registered Wikipedian. (Read the userboxes - I support freedom of speech.)
- Schools should not require uniforms. (Again, basic freedoms come into play here - the right to freedom of expression.)
- Male circumcision and female circumcision should be stopped, and the person doing the circumcision shall be circumcised him/herself. There should be circumcision for mild sexual abuse and for saying that police officers who circumcise people who practise circumcision themselves should be circumcised. (Circumcision is genital mutilation.)
- The Goodnight Kiwi should be brought back during winter just to help New Zealand reach its 10% target. This means we can get rid of the infomercials and other crap that takes up the late night slots, and save power. (I'm not saying for all the cable channels to stop broadcasting at midnight, just the free-to-air channels.)
- All portrayal of Saddam Hussein or Adolf Hitler should be banned as they were just racist idiots who don't know how the black people feel because of their racist propaganda. (In the case of Hitler, it was more Jews than blacks.)
- I will have my own English-language wiki-based encyclopedia. And it will be better than Wikipedia because the site won't be funded from a pornographic one. (I don't know how Wikipedia can run on money obtained from porn.)
- Everyone who thinks Aborigines who edit pages should run the risk of having their whole ISP blocked should be strapped to a chair and be made to eat dog doo because views like that should be considered racism. (Other races count as well.)
- Pepper spray should be completely legal and should be a punishment for assault. (If it's Rake Yohn doing the assault, use mustard gas instead. He hates mustard and he'll go ballistic should there be one drop anywhere near him.)
- The boner essay should be seen as one of the best examples of work from a Cambridge High School student, not something that said student should get suspended over. (At least the problem with his pants didn't happen again.)
- Point of view should be allowed in moderation in articles where some parts are unknown. Edit wars should also be justified in this case. (As log as each side keeps to the 3RR, it's fine with me.)
- Casa Bonita should come to New Zealand. Casa Bonita, Casa Bonita, food and fun in a festive atmosphere! (But only if Hell Pizza comes to the United States.)
- Wikinfo should allow anonymous users to edit. (Note how I used "should" instead of "must.")
[edit] About me
I was the second child and first son born to Kathleen Anne Gall and Murray Stewart Gall at 6:32 in the morning New Zealand Time on the 8th of October, 1988. I was diagnosed at the age of 3 years with Asperger's Syndrome, which is a mild form of autism. I spent two weeks in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia with my mother, father, and sister Kayleigh Elizabeth Gall in November, 1996. I nearly died from meningitis in December, 1999. My parents split up in November, 2001. I have been using the Wikipedia software since September, 2004 and have had a user account since early December, 2004.
[edit] The good admin...
- ...will stay up past his bedtime to catch vandals.
- ...will skip school or work to catch vandals.
- ...will miss Postman Pat to catch vandals.
- ...will let his sports teams down to catch vandals.
- ...will spend too long on the computer to catch vandals.
- ...will pretend to be sick so he can catch vandals.
- ...will not take any breaks from catching vandals.
- ...will fail to come up for sentencing to catch vandals.
- ...will help Wikipedians around the globe to catch vandals.
- ...will waste electricity to catch vandals.
- ...will let starving kids in Africa waste away while he's catching vandals.
- ...will leave his bills unpaid while he catches vandals.
- ...will neglect the children and the garden to catch vandals.
- ...will leave a shelf full of perishables to expire while he's catching vandals.
- ...will miss his cousin's wedding just to catch vandals.
[edit] My personal hate list
- Any IP address that vandalizes Wikipedia or uses it for advertising. These WILL be blocked if they keep doing it.
- Users who frequently start edit wars. When I become admin, all edit wars will stop - guaranteed or your money back.
- Any communist or military ruler or absolute monarch.
- Admins who are slack or who abuse their powers.
[edit] My subpages
I have user accounts on Meta-Wiki, Anarchopedia, Meta-Anarchopedia, Wikicities, Wikinfo, and Uncyclopedia.
[edit] Wikistress
Because the main page on Simple has just been reprotected.
[edit] My most successful corrections of vandalism and other things
- In February 2005, there were three IPs (probably all from Malaysia) posting religious nonsense into new articles. After I unmasked two of the IPs, I reported it to vandalism in progress and one admin then took up the chase and blocked him.
- On 19 or 20 March 2005, somebody replaced the article on pornography in Japan with hundreds of porn links. The edit summary for the reversion asked a rhetorical question - "how would he like it if I blanked his favorite article and put lots of porn links in its place?"
[edit] Things I didn't want you to know about me until now
- I am descended on the male line from Arthur Guinness. (McGuinness was my paternal grandmother's maiden name.)
- I used to work as a Wikipedia vandal under some anonymous IPs, but now I am a good-natured user, with the occasional selfish act, like taking copyrighted images and posting them to the wiki, or joining the cabal (like I did on April Fool's Day, 2005.)
- I have $5000 in a term deposit, but I'm not telling you which bank it's in in case you go in there and steal it (and you drop back to 32,000 if you say it's in a Swiss bank.)
- I am a supporter of fair trade - I'm quite lucky I go to school rather than work in a sweatshop or other place where unfairly traded goods are made.
- In a former life, I was Anne Frank.
- I don't like vegetables. This is so that in Soviet Russia, vegetables don't eat ME!!
- I think Denmark should be forced to apologize over the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons.
- I think that if they don't want to, I shouldn't force them. The dispute is an example of two freedoms clashing - freedom of religion versus freedom of speech.
- I have a tendency to support Australia if New Zealand are absent from an international tournament (eg. the World Cup - I got up at 0530 NZST so I could watch the final, which just goes to show that any New Zealander can put rugby on the backburner for one month out of 4 years.)

Daylight Saving began in New Zealand on the third Sunday of October before 1990 (so I was born at 0632 NZST and not 0632 NZDT,) and Kiribati was on the other side of the date line before 1995.

[edit] By calendar
[edit] Predictions for the future
- By 2012, New Zealand will open its own division of a prominent Swiss bank.
- By 2020, there will be a common currency for the world.
- By 2010, French immigrants will be turned away from New Zealand because they sunk the Rainbow Warrior 25 years earlier.
- By 2150, there will be a common language for our planet, made up of every language spoken today, with parts of it being completely different from any language spoken today. (I predict that a Wikipedia will open in this language in 2015.)
- By 2070, the last sweatshop in the world will be closed down.
- By 2025, major religions will only have between 200 and 50,000 adherents each while there are at least four billion atheists. Islamic women will probably ditch their hijabs/burkas before 2018.
