About me

My name is Kris.

I joined Wikipedia February 23, 2005, and became an Admin on June 17, 2005.

I took 2 wikibreaks, from March to July of 2006, and from November 2006 to June 2007.

I'm a deletionist (no, it's not a bad thing, regardless of what some think). I believe that accuracy is a more important criterion than all-encompassing.

I also lean toward encyclopedism: The sole purpose of Wikipedia is to build an encyclopedia; social interaction is a byproduct which should not compromise this goal. I think some social interaction is not a bad thing, but that too many people go way overboard.

I don't call attention to edit conflicts. I just reload and paste.

I am a Lord High Tutnum (don't ask). Yay coffee cup stain et al!

I'm an admin

I'm also human. Sometimes I make mistakes. If you have a problem with something I've done, do me a favor and talk to me about it. And when I say talk, I mean talk. I understand you may be upset, but saying I'm abusive, or a vandal, or yelling at me just might be the wrong way to resolve the situation. Thanks.

I don't check my email that often, and I can't check it from work (when I'm usually editing). If you need to contact me, you can do so via my talk page.

My bot

Words of wisdom

  • It takes a real knucklehead to keep doing something long after everyone has told you to knock it off. User:Cyde [1]
  • The louts may think they own the place, but in the end they don't, and the people who are prepared to put the time, money and effort into building the neighbourhood should get more consideration than those who view it only as a venue for their own selfish pleasure. User:JzG [2]
  • But that you guys would see fit to block Zenwhat indefinitely and then hold the hand of many of the other argumentative weirdos that use Wikipedia as their personal playground for disruption is beyond me. User:ScienceApologist [3]
  • There were a hundred ways to make your point that would not have been disruptive or rude or personal attacks - you have no entitlement or right to try and make the point in disruptive and rude ways. When you feel that you do have an entitlement to do that, you are abusing the community, and when you abuse the community you are making yourself unwelcome. ... You know what behaviors are not disruptive. Nobody is censoring the viewpoint you want to express. But if you cannot express it in a manner that is positive rather than abusive, you will be shown the door. User:Georgewilliamherbert [4]
  • Categories are important because they function to classify the subjects of articles—they appear with an even greater claim of factuality and objectivity than the content of articles. They should be limited to what is somehow integral to understanding a subject, rather than something that simply happens to be true about it. Trivial information can be buried at the bottom of an article with no problem, but trivial categories bury the article itself. User:Postdlf [5]
  • As the CfD guidelines clearly state, a CfD discussion is not a vote. Consensus can be wrong. The consensus among the handful of people who vote in a given discussion can fail to be in line with the greater consensus and precedent behind Wikipedia's project goals and guidelines. User:Doczilla [6]
  • Fifty people giving foolish reasons do not make consensus. User:DGG [7]
  • Well, I think it is quite appropriate to cite policy, tradition, and precedent with reference to specific cases. I also think it is inappropriate to treat each new specific case as being unique without reference to those long established principles. User:Jimbo Wales [8]
  • Different tools for different purposes. You can drive a nail with a wrench, but anyone who doesn't see that a hammer is better is not fit to be carpenter. User:Friday [9]

And some funny stuff too

  • not to be a dick or anything (not that it's ever stopped you before) User:EVula [11]
  • Hey, maybe we should check with the German Wikipedia -- I bet they'd just throw two nouns & three adjectives together and, presto!, they've got just the word they're looking for! :) User:Cgingold [13]
  • I know zilch about the subject and wouldn't trust Wikinews to tell me the time User:Iridescent [14]
  • Forget jimboship, I want the power to make turtles. And not in that kinky "turtle-breeder" sort of way either. Who has that kind of time? User:Philippe [17]
  • I've never voted neutral myself; how does it feel? Is it true it's like kissing your sister? User:Barneca [18]
