[edit] About White Cat
Hello, welcome to my userpage. If you know a language aside from English, just hop in and join the effort to translate my username to many languages... Thank You in over 465 languages in advance.
Good day, I am White Cat. I was formerly known as Cool Cat and Coolcat on Wikipedia.
I am generally pleasant and helpful so feel free to page me on any questions on my talk page.
I have been to many nations on three continents (Europe, Asia (Western), North America). I am very interested in the science of Astronomy, and I am a Computer Engineering major.
I wasn't into Anime or Manga until my introduction to it a few years ago. Prior to this I did not care/was unaware of the diversity in Japanese culture. I was completely uninterested in learning anything regarding Japan or the far east, let alone learning a far eastern language. Tonikaku, I was explained how popular anime is in Japan and that it is aimed at all age groups. Fullmetal Alchemist, Planetes, Bleach, MADLAX, and of course Oh My Goddess! stand out among the Anime that I liked. Additionally, I follow the Naruto Manga. See the more complete anime/manga list.
I consider BBC's Spooks Season 2, episode 2 (Nest of Angels) to be extremely insightful. Given I have had firsthand experience with terrorism, I can tell that episode portrays global terrorism extremely well within a 45-minute period. I consider that episode to be a "must watch" by all. The fact that it was shot before the 2005 London bombings sheds further insight to that incident as well, in a sense.
[edit] Wikipedia
I got introduced to Wikipedia on February 2005 while I was at Michigan State University by a student. Since then I have been quite active and a summary of my activity can be found on the history page.
I value my anonymity above everything else on the Internet, and ask you to honor this. Acquiring my nationality, age, name, and any other data revealing my identity will not improve the Wikipedia project and hence is of no concern to you.
Of course, a few misguided individuals have assigned me nationalities and etc.. listed below. I had been assigned the following nationalities so far: Japanese, Serbian, Turkish, Irish, Algerian, Azerbaijani, Libyan, American and even Andorian. I'll give a hint: I am not Andorian. I am not denying any of these so as not to compromise my anonymity from 1/198 nations.
I have been also assigned the religions of Atheism and Islam. I have also been declared the following: revisionist, troll, propagandist, racist, gay, lesbian, homosexual, motherfucker, "attention whore" (not certain what an attention whore is by the way), coward, "atrocity committing bone breaking Nazi", Zionist, and even a slimy.
I have also been declared a "terrorist Kurd" and an "ultra-nationalist Turk". How can I be both? I never said I was either...
If you also think I am something I am not, feel free to put that nonsense on my talk page or mention it to me on IRC (and please be creative, as that entertains me more). Do remember that, by doing so, you will violate Avoid personal remarks or No personal attacks but on the other hand you will amuse me.
As a Wikipedian I consider myself to be an eventualist, and inclusionist. I am not a mergist nor a metapedian. I believe in the Wiki is not paper principle.
This user is an ex member of the Counter Vandalism Unit since a single user single handedly ejected him from it. This user also pities self for entrusting the wikiproject into such a person.

- NEVER EVER let laptop be luggage rather than carry-on, TSA people are too stupid to handle a laptop. Yes I am a terrorist, I was a suicide bomber 5 times in the past year. You can find my pieces scattered in 5 different blast zones on 4 different continents and once over the Pacific. :P

"English: Societies that made it a habit in finding ways to live comfortably without working, learning, tiring are convicted to first loose their dignity, then their liberty, and then their future.
Türkçe: Çalışmadan, öğrenmeden, yorulmadan rahat yaşamanın yollarını alışkanlık haline getirmiş milletler; evvela haysiyetlerini, sonra hürriyetlerini ve daha sonra da istikballerini kaybetmeye mahkumdurlar."

"In general, I find the {{fact}} tagging to be overdone in Wikipedia. A better option is to nuke the unsourced material. Sometimes {{fact}} is warranted, I don't mean that it is always a bad idea. But it is overdone."
-- Jimmy Wales x
"There are people who have good sense. There are idiots. A consensus of idiots does not override good sense. Wikipedia is not a democracy."

"Well, it's just that lately I've noticed that everyone seems to trust me. It's quite unnerving, I'm still trying to get used to it. Next thing I know people are going to be inviting me to their homes for dinner!"
