This page serves a friendly depository for all things Wikipedia-related that bounce through my brain. I live in

. That article has since been rewritten a good dozen times, but my unshakeable desire for all things Wiki has yet to subside. Thus, this username was born.

Consequentially is the adverb form of consequential. Its most commonly used definition means "following as an effect, result, or conclusion," but I chose it for its secondary meaning: "having important consequences; significant." Humorously, the word consequential can also mean "pompous; self important." Given time, I'm sure that word will apply as well, but I'll do my best to keep myself in check.

I am currently ashamed of my addiction to userboxes.

Wikistances

The quality of the encyclopedia is something that I take very seriously. Quality breeds credibility, and an encyclopedia without credibility is no encyclopedia at all. To that end, there are a few things you should know about me and my contributions.

First, I will remove

:

"Is that true? Is it not true? As a reader of Wikipedia, I have no easy way to know. If it is true, it should be easy to supply a reference. If it is not true, it should be removed.

I really want to encourage a much stronger culture which says: it is better to have no information, than to have information like this, with no sources. Any editor who removes such things, and refuses to allow it back without an actual and appropriate source, should be the recipient

of a barnstar."

Second, I believe that new articles that reference existing topics should only be created if it cannot be included in an article on said topic. A character in a

to fit within the article on the show. With that in mind, I will usually merge stubs and smaller articles into their larger parent categories whenever I can. One large list or article is better than twelve stubs.

Third, I am bothered by

:

"Wikipedia articles on works of fiction should contain real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's achievements, impact or historical significance, not solely a summary of that work's plot. A plot summary may be appropriate as an aspect of a larger article."

These three guidelines can be used to successfully predict my opinion on a certain article or action in most scenarios. However, I respect the validity of

WP:IAR

as a founding principle of Wikipedia, and if an editor can make a convincing argument for dodging policy, I'll be more than willing to go along.

Current Project of Note

• Deus Ex

I was surprised to find a rather unimpressive article on such an imporant evolution in computer gaming. In a world where

quality one by one, the idea that the community had neglected an equally -- if not more-important -- venture into computer entertainment was absolutely baffling. I've devoted myself to rectifying this situation, supplying references and prose to an otherwise-lacking article.

So far, I've authored the entire

on non-player foes.

Images Uploaded

When deletion debates get too hot or editing turns into a drag, I like to scour the government's collections of public domain photography in search of images that might help illustrate the encyclopedia. All of the images are uploaded into Wikipedia Commons so our sister-projects can take advantage also.

Things That Make Me Giggle

• From the deleted article Getting Pushed Into Bananas (Mario Kart):

Getting pushed into bananas on Mario Kart (Battle Mode) is a very hard thing to accomplish, as many people merely drive out of the way. Being pushed into bananas is considered by many to be the ultimate disgrace of Mario Kart.

• From the article Adolf Hitler in popular culture:

One of the more unusual late works of Salvador Dalí was Hitler Masturbating (1973), depicting just that in the center of a desolate landscape.

• From the deleted article Kinzie:

Their first gig was at a small party in a suburb of Chicago, with only few people watching the band, while the rest was getting hammered on the 2nd floor.

• From Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hank Aaron:

It's over man. Barry Bonds is the new champion. No need for an article on a beaten player like this no more.
