The following accounts in other Wikimedia projects are mine: |
|||
*[[m:User:Demi|Meta-wiki]] |
|||
*[[Commons:User:Demi|Wikimedia Commons]] |
|||
I also contribute as [http://wikitravel.org/wiki/User:Demi Demi] on [http://wikitravel.org/ WikiTravel]. |
|||
== Interests/ Contributions/ Factionalism == |
|||
Inspired by the [[Wikipedia:chess championship|chess championship]], I'm trying to get a [[Wikipedia:WikiHangman Tournament|WikiHangman Tournament]] together (I don't care for chess). Is it a joke? Is it serious? Does it matter? |
|||
I've worked on a better [[Ashland, Oregon]] article and one on [[Lithia Park]]. I have a bunch of sources for other articles I'd like to write and expand, but as they are now packed away in boxes, I satisfy myself arguing on talk pages and IRC. |
|||
I occasionally do my bit to [[WP:CU|cleanup]] ([[:Category:Wikipedia cleanup|list]]) or [[WP:DWV|deal with vandalism]]. Since the admins are so fast with the rollback button, I'm often stepped on; however, sometimes I see that the one-click rollback hasn't reverted all of it, so I clean that up. |
|||
When I have time, I try to fix pages on [[WP:VFD|Votes for deletion]] rather than vote them up or down: |
|||
*[[The Assassination of Richard Nixon]] |
|||
*[[Rushworth Kidder]] |
|||
*[[Handout]] |
|||
I participate in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia|Spoken Wikipedia]] WikiProject. I've recorded [[Media:Lithia_Park.ogg|Lithia_Park.ogg]], [[Media:Caesar_cipher.ogg|Caesar_cipher.ogg]], [[Media:Evolution.ogg|Evolution.ogg]] and [[Media:Cladistics.ogg|Cladistics.ogg]]. |
|||
I generally reject labels, agendas and slates, but I suppose I'm a mild [[m:Deletionism|deletionist]] and enthusiastic [[m:Eventualism|eventualist]]. I think the appropriateness of the subject of an article (such as its [[User:Demi/Notability|notability]]) is the only valid reason to delete it--all other complaints are reasons to improve it. |
|||
The thing that sold me on Wikipedia was the quality of controversial articles like [[Circumcision]] and [[Adolf Hitler]]. I thought for sure the collaborative process would result in a highly-vandalized mess, but coverage on topics like these in Wikipedia is far better than traditional sources. |
|||
I think [[User:Demi/Wikipedia is not a reference to fictional worlds|Wikipedia is not a reference to fictional worlds]], and fancruft should be removed. However, I recognize that this is a minority opinion and am not interested in engaging in any crusades to the effect. |
|||
== Questionable or Offensive Images == |
|||
I voted [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Images_and_media_for_deletion&diff=prev&oldid=11979927 keep] on [[WP:IFD|IFD]] for [[:Image:Autofellatio 2.jpg]], but I also think it's overly glib to respond to people who might be shocked or offended with a simple [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not censored|censorship]] argument. The fact is, I would prefer that people be able to control in advance what sorts of potentially offensive images they might see. |
|||
So I'm very interested in [[m:End-user image suppression]], but I think that's too complicated; we don't need to support every variation on image tagging under the sun. Instead, I'm for a [http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:End-user_image_suppression&diff=prev&oldid=118580 much simpler] scheme. In the meantime, there is a partial [[MediaWiki:Bad image list|technical solution]]. |
