Current Wikistress level

I joined Wikipedia on 12 Nov 2004 and became an administrator on 6 Jan 2006. On Wikipedia, I've edited a wide variety of articles; take a look at my contributions for what some of those are, or just scroll down for a list of articles to which I've made major contributions. I also participate in articles for deletion and requests for adminship. In addition, as an administrator I roll back vandalism (mainly in recent changes); and I carry out speedy deletions. In addition to my work here, I have user accounts at the Wikiquote, Meta, and the Baseball Wikicity.

For those who are curious about my editing stats, you can see my edit count by entering my user name into Interiot's Tool or Interiot's "Wannabe Kate" tool, and you can also check how I compare to other editors by looking at the list of most active Wikipedians and the list of Wikipedians by number of recent edits. (Though, as some people here have said, "editcountitis can be fatal".)

As of right now, this user page has been vandalized 15 times. Thank you to all who revert vandalism to my user page. :-)

I have been impersonated by Ido Havaname.

Stub/substub expansions

Burnett | Day of Fire | Louis Washkansky | Stretch Arm Strong | Showbread | Inaccessible Island | Heather and Heidi Burge | Trans-Siberian Orchestra

I also expanded a substub article for the band Vomitorial Corpulence, but that article was deleted in an AfD that only got two votes. I had heard of the band, seen that another editor had created a stub about them, and decided to expand the article. (This was on March 22, 2005, so I've had many more edits since that one.)

Other significant expansions

(Probably not complete)

Extensive cleanups

Matt Darey | Saviour Machine | Jeremy Bonderman | Knockout Kings | Subwoofer | Double Teamed | Ron Mercer

Caught copyvios

edit

Due to the nature of copyright violations on Wikipedia, these articles might be deleted and then reappear at some later date. By viewing the deleted edits of an article, you can tell that there was once copyvio on the page. Note that this list was compiled while the {{copyvio}} template was used on all copyvio edits, rather than just pages whose whole history had contained copyright violations. (The new instructions for dealing with copyright violations are located at Wikipedia:Copyright violations#Instructions.)

Carol Banawa | William Burnet Tuthill | Christiano Ronaldo (Cristiano Ronaldo) | Motion City Soundtrack | Slowreader | Hannah the usul | Hannah and the Pirate Caves | Sri Cempaka | Alove for enemies | Nodes of Ranvier (band) | A Life Once Lost | Halifax (band) | Emo, Ontario | Real McKenzies | Golden Baseball League | Raul Roco | Louis Washkansky | Denise Darvall | Zao

Edit milestones

edit

Note: Some of my edits have been deleted since I made them, such as when I listed articles for speedy deletion. These are where the milestones are as of July 28, 2006.

Wikiphilosophies

edit

This section contained a bunch of my thoughts on different issues regarding Wikipedia, both as a whole and in its specific parts. In case you've followed an older link to this section of my user page, I've moved this to User:Idont Havaname/Wikiphilosophies, since it was starting to get long.

My standards for admin candidates and a list of administrators whose candidacies I supported are available here. Additionally, here are my voting standards for the Arbitration Committee elections in December 2006 and December 2007.

Wikimemberships

edit

Here are a few associations and WikiProjects in which I am involved.

To-do list

Very few of these ever get done.
