I used to be a red link, now I'm just a Red Neck.created this page. Anything that isn't covered in theuserboxes will be explained here in text. This page is a work in progress, covering the story of how I joined Wikipedia, my biggest contibutions to the project, interesting things I've found here, my personal beliefs and Wikilosophy, and is also the place where I maintain my to-do list. You may edit and/or vandalize it if you wish, however, please be advised that if you do the latter, your contribution will be reverted. You may also signmy guestbook at the bottom of the page. I will be representing my home country ofCanada in the 2009WikiCup. I realize that I have a lot to live up to, since Canada has produced some of the most prolific editors of Wikipedia (Bryan Derksen,SimonP,Bearcat). Rest assured, I will be going all the way in the competition. By the way, Ipwn vandals.

The first time I stumbled uponWikipedia had to be during agoogle search sometime back in2004. That would be the primary means I would access Wikipedia for the next couple of years. I remember usually being disappointed by the content, for example, finding stub articles that aren't really informative. Thankfully, Wikipedia has been vastly improved in the last four years, so this does not happen as often, nowadays. Although I had been reading Wikipedia a lot, especially since aboutSeptember 2006, when I began using it as aprimary source, and findingtypos andfactual errors, I never bothered to fix them. One reason was that I had been accustomed to notcopyediting what I read online for so long that it didn't seem like a "big deal". Another reason is that I was hesitant to edit with myIP, and finally, I held off onjoining, because I knew that it would be taking up my time. What finally motivated me to join was an error that I found onJanuary 13,2007 in the infobox of theKenny vs. Spenny article. It said that the premiere was in 2004 and not2003. I just couldn't let that go. SoI fixed it. Since then, I have been a regular contributor to Wikipedia, and in January 2008, debuted on theList of Wikipedians by number of recent edits at #3613. I have been a mainstay on the list ever since, and as of May 2008, I am #1083.

My username comes from the fact that I pwn everyone and everything. Well.. actually, I don't. At the time I made this account, I had been playing a lot oftennis andhandball with my friends, and they would often use the word "pwned", or "pwnage", as in "that was pwnage". And so I started using that word on a regular basis, more than I had been before. When it came time to make an account, I just wanted something random andneutral that I was comfortable with. I tried "Pwnage", since that seemed like a logical choice, but it was already taken. So I added the "8" on the end, as a reference to thetownhouse I lived in as a kid, which was Unit #8. Thus, my name. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.

Wiki Break with Reality

This psychological condition occurs when someone commits every waking hour to spreading vast amounts of misinformation via Wikipedia. The victim is unable to determine fact from fiction. Victims are also found to commit acts ofIdle Worship. This condition is technically an "umbrella syndrome," as it is the result of multiple diseases. Dyslexia, Brackets, Dangling Participle, Autism, Conjunctionitis and drama dependency all are factors that contribute to the overall condition. People suffering from this disease are very difficult to treat as they require that you produce supporting citations for everything that you say.Original research has shown^{[citation needed]} that the only effective way to bring someone back from wikiworld is to perform a Complete Personality Transplant. CPTs are potentially fatal, so it is a win-win situation.

I am anImmediatist, and indeletion discussions I lean towardsInclusionism, although I believe there are times that an article just doesn't belong in Wikipedia. However, that does not make me anIncrementalist.

I believe thatDeletionism is inherently anti-wiki, detrimental to this project, and that no one who seriously looks out for its well-being, and is commited to building this free encyclopedia would adopt such a position. There seems to be too many of them these days. The worst ones are those who shamelessly prod articles when they don't meet criteria for deletion, and if someone objects they go to a full AfD, when improvements are possible, but they are too lazy to make them. According toWikipedia's guide to deletion, before nominating an article, one must first try to make improvements. Thus, most AfDs are not properly followed through. However, since deletion discussions are mostly dominated by deletionists, a lot of articles go down without a fight. Sometimes, common sense prevails and the deletionists suffer humiliation as a consequence of their careless actions; sources are available, subjectreally is notable, etc. and the AfD is swamped byKeeps. Thankfully, most users do not fall into this extreme. I take the view of someDelusionists that labels like "Deletionist" and "Inclusionist"really are delusional, and both extremes are ultimately detrimental to the project.

Many articles get deleted nowadays because the subject is "non-notable". Althoughnotability is not a core policy of Wikipedia, it has increasingly become the threshold for inclusion. At its core, it is an extension of theverifiability policy (i.e. the content of the article can be verified inreliable sources). However, many deletionists deliberately ignore the notability criteria and pretend that certain articles don't meet it. Interpretation of the notability guideline is intended to be broad. If an article meets just one of the criteria, it should stay. I've used the term "notable" to defend some articles, and help delete others. The latter may seem contradictory to my previous rant about deletionism, but do keep in mind what I said at the top of this section. Sometimes an article just doesn't belong here, such as ones with no meaningful content that can be found on the subject. For example, an elementary school with nothing special about it, and the only information that can be found is on the board website, and would constitute an infobox and nothing more. Pretty much meaningless content. This can also be applied to streets, strip malls, etc.
