From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Who am I? I'm a Gothic Libertarian Pagan philosopher from California.

I'm not a major editor of Wikipedia, but am instead a bit player. I know a little bit about this and that and make contributions when I can.

Picture of the Day

[edit]
Machado de Assis
Machado de Assis (1839–1908) was a Brazilian novelist, poet, playwright and short-story writer, widely regarded as the greatest writer of Brazilian literature. In 1897, he founded and became the first president of the Brazilian Academy of Letters. He was multilingual, having taught himself French, English, German and Greek later in life. Machado's work shaped the realist movement in Brazil and the birth of the Brazilian republic made Machado become more critical and an observer of the Brazilian society of his time. Generally considered to be Machado's greatest works are Dom Casmurro (1899), Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas (Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas, also translated as Epitaph of a Small Winner) and Quincas Borba (also known in English as Philosopher or Dog?). In 1893, he published "A Missa do Galo" ("Midnight Mass"), often considered to be the greatest short story in Brazilian literature. This photograph of Machado was taken by the Brazilian photographer Marc Ferrez in 1890.Photograph credit: Marc Ferrez; restored by Adam Cuerden

Politics

[edit]

I participate in the Political Spectrum article from time to time, mostly in the Alternate Spectra section.

I also participate in articles about Libertarianism when I can.

Comics

[edit]

Having been a fan for years, I try to add what I can to the Comics pages. I was the one who first inserted the idea in The Joker that his insanity might be a Super Power.

Special Projects

[edit]

Once a week I review the articles for deletion votes and chime in.

I also look at New Pages, New Images, and especially Recent Changes occasionally because that is where most problems occur.

I'm not a member of any special projects team though.

Religious Imposters

[edit]

I'm working on impostors Mike Warnke, Laurel Rose Willson, John Todd (occultist), Hershel Smith, Rebecca Brown (Christian author), and William Schnoebelen to link them to the category Impostors as a step to possibly create a Relgious Impostors category. If you know of more frauds like these, let me know.
