Wikimood [purge] [edit]

Current Status: *Annoyed*

Hi! My name is Brian Schott. I have an Associate of Applied Science degree in Computer Network Administration.

I have been involved with Wikipedia since May 2005. I consider myself a Wikipediholic. My interests are quite diverse, and include Computer networking, Case modding, Classic Cars, Piloting, digital photography, Radio, Astronomy, Computer Gaming, Swing Dancing, Music and Movie collecting.

This user is a member of the Association of Deletionist Wikipedians The motto of the ADW is "The proliferation of mediocrity is never its own excuse"

I am a Deletionist. While Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia, I hold the belief that a short, poorly-sourced articles do not merit a place here. I also believe Wikipedia is not a social club. As long as the a topic meets all guidelines I have no problem with it. Article subjects must be verifiable, must be notable, must not fall into any catagory listed in Wiki is not.... I support lowering the bar on the deletion process. Wikipedia is not infinite in time or space or meaning, and the current requirement for consensus is too far in favor of non-notable pages/articles.

While I do understand the importance of policies and guidelines, try to follow them, and know that process is important, I do believe that there are some situations where it becomes appropriate to ignore all rules. This means I understand admins can use common sense to close an AfD early, among other things. This does not apply to articles though. All article MUST be verifiable, written in a Neutral Point of View and must NOT be original research.

I believe that there should be a policy allowing persons who do not wish to have and article on themselves in Wikipedia to petition it be removed, regardless of their notability. Personal privacy should not be trumpt by 'right to know'. Everyone should be afforded the right to privacy and I believe WP:Ignore all rules should be applied in these cases.

I am only human and make mistakes. If you find any mistakes, please feel free to edit them and leave a note on my talk page. I try improve my methods to keep errors from recurring. If you've caught an error, please either fix it or let me know. You may be quicker on the keyboard, I may have completely missed it, or I may have had some kind of real life event that this preventing me checking.

Italicized articles are ones I created or recreated from scratch and bold articles are the articles I've put the most work into. Red links are articles I plan to create.

• Fargo, North Dakota
• Swing revival
• Royal Crown Revue
• We-Fest

		Solid research

Here is a list of vandalisms that have taken place on my userpages.

• I believe the Notability articles should be expanded and approved as guidelines. While the trilogy rules (WP:V, WP:OR, WP:POV) are something every article should follow, I think notability should also become a firm rule.

• I find that there is a lack of accountability for editors. Vandalism and concistant violations of uncivil behavior and re-occurring personal attacks. I believe there should be some way to more easily flag someone for their abuses and then be able to track that history.

• Schools, in particular primary, are generally unnotable, and there for do not deserve articles. I am a backer of WP:SCHOOLS, and the sooner it can become a recognized rule, the better.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of papabili in the 2013 papal conclave until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. -- --JamboQueen (talk) 17:06, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
