If you're wondering "I can't hide your navbox template", that's just a glitch which I've kept because it allows the user to view the page firsthand without any necessities.

(60nna)I{. My goal is to just improve articles for the sake of high quality. Born around 1990, I created this Wikipedia account on May 14, 2013. I mostly live at the west coast of the United States

I'm known for creating userboxes, as well as making
good articles
(GAs) and updating the overall quality of music and arcade/video game articles. Other stuff I edit include stuff like anime, manga, art, et cetera. My userboxes involve uncommon techniques I discovered, had stolen, or found, and attempt to mimic whatever topic it focuses on. My interactions with templates feel more like building something out of existence. I also like to thank users for great edits, because I like fun, niceness, and happiness.
And oh, my REAL identity will be kept secret. When I was Mr. Gonna, I had (and still have) no relationship in any way to another user also named

The logo for my Wikipedia journalism magazine, Sledgehammer, contains strong use of special characters and symbols. Image created in response to users' reactions to the Sledgehammer page's glitches.
In 2014 I was working on the draft for my Wikipedia magazine, titled
with a Keep verdict on April 12, 2014. Deadline date is not April 2014 anymore, but it's now May 2014 on hold.
I don't use email for contact.
I use the {{navbox}} template for this userpage to make it look distinctively unique and to compress the text size. This eliminates the need for headers and tables of contents that appear on Wikipedia articles, with section names showing up left to others. Navbox has already been used in plenty of userpages for parts that travel longer than their main portions, even Tiptoety/Lowercase sigma (Σ)/Tomica-inspired ones contain it. I incorporated the Haettenschweiler font to further decrease the text size. There was just a glitch in the code which I've kept for a while because it allowed the user to view the page firsthand without any necessities, but I fixed it.

Turned the Pirates of the Caribbean series into a Good Topic: nominated thefirstthree movies to the GA, then improved the series' article to make it pass as well. Then came a GT nom... and 3 years later, pushing the fourth movie to GA level before the topic got demoted.

The Evil One himself. How long do you reckon the photo will last without an infobox ;-)?The world's earliest surviving motion-picture film
¡Hola! ¿Qué tal? I'm the founder of
WP:Intertranswiki
which aims at least to highlight the importance of translating articles from other wikipedias and vice versa to address systematic bias. I'm generally involved in writing cinema, geographical, architectural and biographical articles on wikipedia, although I'm usually willing to edit anything other than mathematics, computer jargon and US football season articles.
My main objective on wikipedia, aside from ridiculing the silly time wasters who contribute nothing on here fussing about infoboxes and incivility and battling super arrogant know-it-alls with serious
WP:OWN issues, is to address systematic bias. Eventually I want to be able to browse a google map anywhere in the world and the encyclopedia will have a decent and well sourced article, whether its a city, a mere hamlet, river, island or protected park in some obscure country, or a landmark in a city or town like a town hall, museum, theatre, park etc. Same goes for film-related articles, I'd like eventually to see a very good article on any notable film, actor, or director, not just in American and British cinema, but worldwide. Fortunately in the last few years google have scanned millions of books and more information than ever before can be gleaned from them to write articles on developing world countries, although they're currently only about 1/4th through what they intend scanning (about 130 million books); things can only get better. I hope that given time national archives and major newspapers will open up their resources to us. It's great to see a number of reputable institutions already getting involved with the project and seeing the potential of this resource. The potential is staggering, but this is just the beginning, I'm sure. But a number of problems stand in our way...
Featured articles
I have contributed to 22 FA articles with a varying degree of input, and several more which were promoted at a later date which I wasn't involved in. One of my articles, Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, has also been translated into Danish and is a featured article on Danish wikipedia
Articles which I contributed to which were later taken to FA
Brad Pitt (still contains a lot of text I wrote years back in the original expansion)
Good articles
Officially I have contributed significantly to 134
Good Articles
(not including articles which were promoted from GA to FA), but I never used to keep track of these "officially" so the figure is actually higher than this. I have begun listing the articles I've contributed to in passing GA since March 2010.
I consider GA to be one of the most important steps in wikipedia development, articles which have formally been reviewed and some form of quality has been met. From July 2011 I have begun reviewing the occasional good article to help with the growing log of articles needing a review. My feeling is that we should be aiming to get every article up to GA status, even if not FA standard. We should be aiming for at least 1 in 50 articles being a good article, At least one in 10 really. 1 in 100 for GA and FA combined I think should be the first milestone to get across, we're currently about 1 in 170. Wikipedia should be largely about trying to make every single article in the encyclopedia of a decent quality. As a reader, I believe there is nothing more important than reading an article which at least indicates it has been reviewed and read over and fully sourced so the information can at least be verified if you doubt it. According to the GAN bot tool I have reviewed 134 articles to date, although I can't recall the 40 odd articles I reviewed before July 2011 when I started this list.

User talk:Foxj, and User:Tiptoety. I added some good ones into the page, but unfortunately, not much activity has been put into it. As of the time this article got published, only nine requests stand on the UPHF's Review subpage, three received reviews (Damërung, Pashtun Ismailiyya, User:WheresTristan
). Nonetheless, editors add user page designs without the need of reviews.
Most of the designs found in the UPHF look less avant-garde than
(60nna)I{, with green, yellow, and black shades, and Times New Roman, is enlarged in the main header that shows photos by GB ruleofgame
, a Wikimedia Commons user. To me, putting a user page on a navbox resembles compression.
Webclient101's design, an altercation of Lowercase sigma's, was expanded by Tomica. Tomica's user page has since been imitated by users like Earthh
. I think of averting that in favor of originality.
However, before we get into my ideas, on Wikipedia many user pages are simple. I'm not saying I hate them all since plenty start that way. You'll usually find userboxes, awards, lists of tasks/achievements/useful pages/et cetera, text, simple templates, and/or no extras. Sometimes you see a stylized signature at the top of something such as User:Discospinster.
Why logos?

well-written: its prose is engaging and of a professional standard;
comprehensive: it neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context;
well-researched: it is a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature; claims are verifiable against high-quality reliable sources and are supported by inline citations where appropriate;
stable: it is not subject to ongoing edit wars and its content does not change significantly from day to day, except in response to the featured article process; and
a lead: a concise lead section that summarizes the topic and prepares the reader for the detail in the subsequent sections;
appropriate structure: a substantial but not overwhelming system of hierarchical section headings; and
consistent citations: where required by criterion 1c, consistently formatted inline citations using footnotes—see citing sources for suggestions on formatting references. Citation templates are not required.
it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with
the layout style guideline
