Hi. I'm WikidSmaht/WikidCool.( Created and started using my account as "WikidCool" before thinking of and preferring "WikidSmaht".) Apparently my username requires a bit of clarification. It's not: bragging, serious, Wiki D Cool, Wiki dCool, or anything like that. It is: humorous( or at least I thought so), a play on "wiki" and the stereotypical Bostonian pronunciation of "wicked smart"( "wicked" being a local slang intensifier, often taking the place of the adverb very, or sometimes the adjective cool).

I'm 22/m, I live in Boston, not sure what else to say about me.

I like, um, men, kitty cats, video games, theatre...

You may notice my idiosyncratic punctuation, it's intentional, not ignorant. Still, until the English-writing world comes round to my way of thinking, you might want to watch my edits and make sure it doesn't slip into the encyclopedia articles. ;-)

This user page updates sporadically, but say hi on my talk page if you like; I usually respond to comments within a day or two.

[edit] Wikocracy alerts!

I'm proposing adding "Video game strategy guides" to the list of things Wikipedia is not. If you agree, please go to the What Wikipedia is not discussion page and support my proposal.

I support the proposed merge of Wikipedia:No Instruction into Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Come express your opinion and help us draft a version for inclusion in WP:NOT.

From the Wikibooks front page: "Voting for Wikiversity has started at the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki. Please read the proposal about Wikiversity and cast your vote to support or oppose this new Wikimedia project."

[edit] The Legend of Zelda

My biggest current pet project is the improvement of articles relating to the Legend of Zelda series.

The articles I'm trying to improve include:

[edit] Other

Other suggestions for myself or others to implement:

  • Scan for and eliminate horrid English like "Another thing is that", or " Another thing that happens is", or "And then what happens is".
  • Fix list items which inappropriately begin with "And".
  • Eliminate inappropriate overuse of the phrase "due to".

[edit] Pages I've created

Articles, stubs, redirects, and templates I have created( since I started using an account), in chronological order:

  • Percussive maintenance Poor percussive maintenance. I had recreated it and meant to improve it so it wouldn't be deleted again, but I never got around to it.
  • Kitty cat [0] A redirect page I was surprised to find didn't exist when I first wrote a self-introduction for this user page.
  • User:WikidCool → User:WikidSmaht [0] The original location of this user page, and this user page. (major edits: [1], [2] [3])
  • Great Sea (Legend of Zelda) [0] Felt it was a different enough setting for its own article, created it with material from Hyrule.
  • Legend of Zelda series songs [0] Created as an alternative to several smaller, unencyclopedic articles about individual songs or groups of a few songs, I'm not sure it is in and of itself encyclopedic. Still, with lists of characters and enemies present on the Wikipedia, I have hope for it, though I know I may eventually have to accept its deletion gracefully, despite the many hours of hard work it represents.
  • Template:Move to Wikibook [0] Surprisingly, I could find no template more specific than {{Move to Wikibooks}} for articles destined to bet thusly transwiki'd, except the one specifying the Cookbooks bookshelf. This template allows an editor to specify a particular Wikibook that the content should be moved to.
  • Pansexuality [0] Previously a redirect, I created a stub with modified content from pansexual and bisexuality.
  • Pre-order incentive [0] Created this stub to explain the concept, and a redirect at pre-order bonus. It's probably at risk for deletion, but hopefully will be improved instead.

Well, me, obviously, but I would like to extend a hearty thanks to the users who created/contributed all the images and templates used or adapted on this page (list to come eventually), and to Jimbo Wales, the Wikimedia Foundation, and the others responsible for Wikipedia and related projects.
