From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

el Jefe:WARNING - Most of this user page is a load of rubbish assembled to stop me getting bored. It is thus cognate to apply the popular, upbeat phrase "Abandon all hope all ye who enter here". My disclaimer: I'm here to enjoy and educate myself and hopefully allow others to learn and enjoy themselves. I will never do anything which deliberately goes against this pledge, and anything which appears to do so should be considered an error of judgement. In short, I don't want to piss anyone off via this most extraordinary of projects.

"Userboxes of a political or, more broadly, polemical, nature are bad for the project."

If I didn't object unreservedly to userboxes, I'd have one just over there to the right saying: This user dislikes infoboxes, prefering to interact with others without patronising them. He achieves this by using REAL SENTENCES - such as "Hello". That would be funny, but hypocritical. My opposition is only in that I have a preference of prose over annoying, insincere little slogans, so don't feel I hate you if you have a large collection of userboxes. By the way, the colorful quote boxes there are a totally different thing altogether (Hmmm...).

El jefe is a wikipedian who prefers to remain somewhat anonymous within the community. This doesn't mean I will not contribute to bigger projects or collaborate, simply that I am more someone who prefers to research and edit here and there with little regularity. I believe strongly that wikipedia should not be force people to subject themselves to this folly of loyalty which we call membership. Essentially, I'm pretty Laissez faire and a bit of an e-loner. But I will vote on the Featured Pictures, just because I like them.

That said, feel free to ask me for help, comment on my work, tell me off, praise me or suggest something I might enjoy working on. Just don't ask me to join a wikiproject! (Not because I don't believe in them - they do some valuable work, just because it goes against my anarchist tendencies).

[edit] Me

A little about me.

  • Formerly edited under a different name, left, then returned.
  • Male.
  • A Londoner.
  • Owns a dusty, under-used pair of roller skates.
  • I'd rather not get involved in wikipedian politics. Unfortunately, that statement means I just have.
  • El Jefe invented the concept of Wikipocrisy, otherwise known as Twitdom. He then failed to realise that Wikipocrisy was a concept known only unto him, and that he might wish to tell everyone else what it is. Then he just opened a Grolsch and put on Heavier Things.
  • Sometimes refers to himself in the 3rd person. Occasionally in the 2nd person plural.
  • Member of the Church of the IMDb.
I think this flag is way cool.

  • I don't keep a watchlist. At least not deliberately -- some pages have probably slipped under my watch because I failed to un-check the box when I edited it.
  • Also, I try to just ad-lib my editing pattern. If I schedule tasks I have less fun. If I have less fun, I do poorer quality work.
  • My favourite colours are khaki, sky blue and Robert Kilroy-Silk.
  • Always looks to defend an underdog or scapegoat.
  • Fan of most sports, especially:
  • Generally into modern culture.
    • To be honest, just interested in everything.
      • And thus liable to edit on everything —- except Science.
        • I speak a bit of a few modern languages and am a native speak of English.
          • AKA "Ray Mammola".
