About Me

Hello. My name is David and I am currently a theatre arts student in Canada. I am studying physical theatre, design, tap, arts admin, and management. I also have background in Film, Commerce, and IT. I have been using en.wikipedia since 2005, and in September of 2006, I officially registered. In early October I became a member of several Wikipedia projects such as WikiProject Council and WikiProject Education.

Outside of Wikipedia and school, I volunteer for several organizations such as the QE School, and for the last three years, Cancer Foundation. This year, I was approved to become a volunteer for Children's Hospital.

User Warning Templates

Click to show

The template {{TestTemplates}} is deprecated. Please use {{WP:UTM}} instead.

These templates should always be used with the subst: keyword, as suggested on Wikipedia:Template substitution. They are shown without subst: here to reduce the space occupied by this large table. For example, type {{subst:test}}, not {{test}}, to warn common first-time vandals.

To coordinate numbers, the previous blanking 2, 3, and 4 templates have been moved because they were out of sync with the numbering usage with other templates. The old templates, though not listed, can still be used as they redirect to the new name and number.

The numbering system being used across the templates is simple:

0. Good faith edit

1. General note

2. Could be seen as vandalism

3. Warning to stop

4. Final warning

5. Blocked

6. Blocked plus severe warning

If you are creating new templates, please follow the numbers above, even if you are not creating templates using all the numbers. That way, by using the right number, users will be able to know automatically what category of message the template refers to.

Dreams Are Bulletproof

The wear on stones when people walk,
My shifting sands of setting rock.
An unclaimed story of growing lands,
The fewest survive the demands.

Castles built in the 'riving sand,
Of laughter and child's play at hand.
Youth persistent and ever more,
Return our instruments of war.

(...)

-David M. K. W., July 2007

Dreams are rock hard until they are broken. Like all precious stones, the result of time and pressure, are reformed. Never the same: Ignorance, insensitivity, and accidents happen all the time -- but some dreams are bullet proof.

It was the best of times and the worst of times, times like this, and we were all in it together. The ridicule of our situation made you smile and I laugh. In that moment our dreams back to us.

- To absent friends.
