User:Digitalme/Userpage3
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
--Dylan Thomas

What is this?
This is the userpage of the user known as Digitalme, or alternatively as digital_me. If you have no idea why you are here, you probably meant to go here. If you didn't mean to go there, and there is nothing here to satisfy you, then move along. If you meant to come here for information, or maybe something else, I may be able to help you.
Editing
I am an editor on Wikipedia, but not an admin. I detest vandalism, and inclusion that goes against what Wikipedia is not. I believe that many userboxes are divisive and inflammatory, but I also firmly believe that users are free to do mostly whatever they want in their userspace.
I have written several articles, namely Walter E. Scott, List of Colorado Fourteeners, and I started Microsoft PlaysForSure as an IP. I have made minor contributions to hundreds more, many of them obscure. If I have made an edit which you deem to be in error, please, revert it. I will not be offended, so long as you provide adequate reason in the edit summary.
I am a member of the Counter Vandalism Unit, and I revert vandalism on sight. I often perfom recent changes patrol, or new page patrol.
Wikipedia
There is a glitch in the system. The userboxes have gone out of control. I am hereby ending my use of userboxes that I have not created myself, and my archive will only be preserved because I have already bypassed redirects on several of the userboxes. Someone is welcome to take over ownership of those userboxes, and re-bypass the redirects, using AWB (it isn't hard). The userbox war has claimed many casaulties. I refuse to be one of them.
WikiPhilosophy
Everyone has a WikiPhilosophy, whether they know it or not. My WikiPhilosophy is a bit of a mix between Deletionism and Exclusionism. I dislike cruft, and I won't hesitate to delete it, but I also value the stub, as a potential article, and as a source of information. Above all, however, I value discussion and discourse, rather than hasty actions. My WikiPhilosophy can be very flexible, if a discussion is present. I try to maintain a policy of neutrality on controversial issues, unless they directly affect me. Again, discussion is paramount, but many "discussions" of controversial issues simply devolve to flame-wars and fighting.
Contacting me
If you wish to contact me, you may do so by several means. First, you should leave a message on my talk page. You could also check if I'm on IRC, where I go by digital_me, and am usually on the channels #vandalism-en-wp, #wikipedia, and #wikpedia-esperanza. Finally, you can email me as a last resort, but you should really only use that for anything you're not comfortable discussing in public.
