"I am justice." — L Lawliet. The best opponents for those who see themselves as justice are others who also do.

Admit it—you use Wikipedia too. Someone comes to you wanting to know how to find some good stuff on quantum physics, so you sneak a peak at the relevant Wikipedia article just so you won’t sound stupid to your patron. Or someone queries, "What year did George Washington die?" and you could look it up in Oxford Reference, but you don’t. I mean, even Wikipedia couldn’t get the date of George Washington’s death date wrong, could it?

Wikipedia’s Edge

Though traditional encyclopedia producers disdain it, Wikipedia has an edge in one area—currency. If I want an article on "folksonomy," I can’t find it in Encyclopaedia Britannica, whereas Wikipedia will instantly tell me that it is "a user-generated taxonomy used to categorize and retrieve web content…using open-ended labels called tags."

If the average university student can safely go to Wikipedia instead of consulting a specialized print reference source, then academia is broken. It is a finger in the eye of the whole academic enterprise. It’s as if our students are saying, "We don’t care if it breaks the rules, deceives us, or is dumber than print reference books. We like Wikipedia, and it rarely lets us down."

They have never been part of the analog generation. Wikipedia is their world, and it has met their needs wonderfully. To tell them to use only the print encyclopedias for reference information is to make them ask, "Why should I when Wikipedia is at my fingertips?"

Moving Beyond the Impasse

Banning Wikipedia from the academic world doesn’t work either. It doesn’t prevent students from using it secretly (or plagiarizing from it), plus it helps further the anti-academic subculture. We need to be aware that academia is primarily analog and that our students are largely digital. Academics have, for the most part, yet to embrace the new reality that much of the information produced today comes from the users of that information.

Embracing the World of Wikipedia

Truth to tell, much of Wikipedia is simply amazing in its detail, currency, and accuracy. Denying this is tantamount to taking ourselves out of the new digital reality. But we need to help our students see that Wikipedia is also an environment for shallow thinking, debates over interpretation, and the settling of scores. Wikipedia itself advises that its users consult other sources to verify the information they are finding. If a key element in information literacy is the ability to evaluate information, what better place to start than with Wikipedia? We can help students to distinguish the trite from the brilliant and encourage them to check their Wikipedia information against other sources.— William Badke of Trinity Western University^[1]

Who is Flyer22?

Some personal detail

I am a vegetarian, but I do not mind if others eat meat. I am female and was born in Pensacola, Florida, and have four siblings. I'm the oldest.

I was queried by the Mary Lou Modeling Agency at age 16 to consider becoming a model. I turned it down to focus on my own interests, such as screenwriting. Furthermore, I am only 5'3"; thus modeling did not sound like the most promising career. Oddly enough, or maybe it's not that odd, I still look as though I am in my late teens. Basically, late teens/early twenties. For some reason, I don't seem to age. Not too visibly on the surface, at least. But seeing some celebrities who are now in their late 20s/early 30s, they don't look drastically different than when they were teenagers either, and I doubt visits to certain doctors kept them all looking that way.

I am able to access editing Wikipedia quite often, seeing as most of my work is computer-related. When it comes to Pensacola, Florida, I have no interest in staying long, and may often venture out to Los Angeles, California or New York City. I am also involved in acting.

While I was in high school, I thought about careers that differed from writing and matched my knowledge of other things, knowledge that my mother would brag about. The views of my parents could not be imposed on me, and so I left to do my own thing.

Contact

To get in contact with me, apart from Wikipedia, you may email me. If a registered user, click on the Toolbox selection to the left of this page, and an "E-mail this user" option will pop up. Select it, and there you go.

Credentials

I have significant knowledge in the social/scientific/psychological/sexual fields, as well as in popular culture topics such as soap operas, but will not edit much scientific or mathematics material due to being tired of it. Additionally, I will not edit much screenwriting material either, despite loving the medium. Reasons? I deal with it enough in everyday life.

Specific detail on my credentials are without mention on Wikipedia. This is Wikipedia, where anyone can edit, and their contributions are of more note. I see some things as bragging (LOL).

Hobbies

I love to write, read books, play Go... And I have several other hobbies as well, though I will not list all.

Favorite television shows at the moment

Note: I sometimes watch Japanese animes because I find their storytelling generally better than most television and film stories of any country.

Recently past (anime or otherwise)

Heroes
Death Note
Gantz
Fate/stay Night
Kurokami (also known as Black God)
Hikaru no Go (based on one of the most complex games ever, Go). I usually do not watch animes about characters so young, and prefer them to be mid/late teenagers or adults, but this anime is surprisingly very, very good. The characters even age into mature people, as the series follows three years.
V
Additional note: There are others, but I am too lazy to think of them. And, yeah, I would have to think about them. I suppose they aren't that memorable.

Most recent (but no recent animes)

Teen Wolf. Has actually turned out to be a pretty good series. Everyone definitely should give it a try, especially if you loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
The Walking Dead
Game of Thrones
~~Hell on Wheels~~ Without carelessly spoiling anyone interested in the series, I state that this was a favorite television show of mine until they killed off a major/pivotal character in what seemed to take the heart out of the show. I will have to wait and see if it's renewed for Season 3 and if I will continue to watch it even though there now seems to be a huge void left after the Season 2 finale; most fans are not pleased with that move by the creators. As a hint, three characters were taken out. Two are definitely dead unless a rewrite happens for one of them, and the other may be dead. I'm referring to one of the ones who are definitely dead; that death overshadowed the death of the other.
A few science shows and reality shows.
There are other recent shows that I like, but I wouldn't call them my favorites.

Favorite reads

Favorite reads on Wikipedia

"Category:Nonsense pages for speedy deletion" used to exist on Wikipedia. It was hilarious. And aside from the serious articles, were a "good" read. One of my favorites was Chuck Cotter:

The only alterations I made to it are: The name Chuck Cotter was bolded, a wikilink was added, bullet points were added, and a few grammatical errors were corrected.

Chuck Cotter

Chuck Cotter is one of the most mysterious, creative and intelligent men to enter into the financial services industry. His date of birth, place of origin or family history is unknown because if you knew it, you would probably be dead. Over the last 20 years, Chuck Cotter has reviewed, ravaged and destroyed thousands of loan presentations at senior loan committee. He knows the ins and outs of every industry and credit deal ever and he knows future deals coming in.

The few who have grown close to him have the following tidbits of information to inform the public of the man, the myth and the legend, Chuck Cotter.

This great nation tried to honor Chuck Cotter by placing his face on Mount Rushmore, however, the stone of Mount Rushmore was too strong to carve out his mustache.

Chuck Cotter smoked 54,000 cigarettes just to get cancer so he could beat it.

Guns don't kill people, Chuck Cotter kills people.

Chuck Cotter has counted infinity twice.

Chuck Cotter doesn't sleep. He waits.

There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of animals that Chuck Cotter allows to live.

There is no chin under Chuck Cotter's mustache. There is only another fist.

Chuck Cotter has two speeds. Walk and Kill.

Chuck Cotters' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.

Chuck Cotter's outlook calendar skips from March 31st to April 2nd cause no one fools Chuck Cotter.

Chuck Cotter doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.

Main types of articles interested in creating and or expanding

Science articles.
Human nature articles.
Science-fiction articles.
Action-adventure articles.
Film articles.
Video game articles.
Soap Opera articles.
Prime time television articles.

Main types of articles working on at the moment:

Soap opera articles.
Film articles.
Sex-related articles, such as Sexual intercourse. And often sexual deviant articles, such as Rape, Pedophilia, etc.

Main type of editing style

Very flexible — usually bounces from soap opera articles, to human nature articles (whether it be sexuality topics, etc.), to actor/actress articles, or other, to combating vandalism.

Created articles

I have created:
Couples

The JR and Babe (Jabe) article.
The Bianca and Maggie (BAM) article -- I wasn't a huge fan of this couple before, but after refreshing my memory on them by watching clips and videos of their relationship on YouTube, I was pulled in more than when I originally saw chemistry between these two. I've never been a fan of a gay/lesbian television or film (or play, for that matter) couple, not because I refused to, but because no gay/lesbian couple ever pulled me in. This couple, however, is a different story. They also have had a little more real-world impact than JR and Babe, and it was great to work with, as that was my main reason for creating this article. And this article (the second of which I created) was definitely better than the earlier stages of when I first created the JR and Babe article. It's really awesome to see how much of a newbie I was then, how unfamiliar with Wikipedia policies I was then to how I am now with Wikipedia. A few months really did make all the difference. Flyer22 17:43, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
The Lena Kundera and Bianca Montgomery article.
Todd Manning and Marty Saybrooke rape storylines article

Characters

The Todd Manning article (did not technically create, but article was a stub before I significantly expanded it).
Téa Delgado

Actors/Actresses/Singers

Florencia Lozano

Murder

Stacey Castor (did not technically create, but was going to before another editor beat me to it; article was a stub before I significantly expanded it).

Specifically sex/violence-related

The Serial rape article (did not create but plan to; will recreate one day, seeing as article was a very tiny stub and needs to be re-made).

DYK articles

I have nominated six articles to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? section. All, except one, were a successful nomination process. The five articles are as follows:

Successful DYK nominations
	An entry from Bianca Montgomery and Maggie Stone appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 28 July 2007.
	An entry from Todd Manning appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 1 September 2007.
	An entry from Luke Snyder and Noah Mayer appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 14 February 2008.
	An entry from Lena Kundera and Bianca Montgomery appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 12 November 2008.
	An entry from Todd Manning and Marty Saybrooke rape storylines appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 11 January 2010.

The one that did not make it was Stacey Castor, due to much material too close to copyright infringement at the time (close paraphrasing).

GA (Good Article) status articles

I am responsible for helping the following articles reach GA status:

Helped maintain GA status

Titanic (1997 film)

Future GA status

Vagina article (so much work that I'm going to have to do on this article; hopefully, this will not be one of those articles that students randomly target for a class assignment, considering that, in those cases, significantly expanding such an article can be wasted time because the article, like the terrible Gender article, has an increased chance of losing its GA quality in one, two or a few edits).

Thanks.

Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 19:36, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

		The Purple Barnstar
		To Flyer22, the Purple Heart barnstar, in recognition of wounds received in the course of defending the Wikipedia Herostratus (talk) 04:49, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Ima break my rule of never awarding a second barnstar to a person, 'cause of all you've had to go through. It's tough. I'm glad Alison came through for you, she's a peach. You're really resilient to work through all that, a lot of people would have walked away. A tough gal, you are, it seems. I'm glad you're still here. You're valuable. Herostratus (talk) 04:49, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

I think every woman likes sweets. I only want to thank you very much for your article about asexuality. The topic is of paramount interest to me. Your work allows me to become familiar with the state of research in this new area of sexology. I should certainly learn English. Such materials as your article give me information that I can’t get in my native language. Many thanks indeed! SU ltd. (talk) 17:52, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Aw, thank you, SU ltd. You're welcome. It's not my article, since we don't get to own any articles at Wikipedia, but I understand what you mean. And like I stated here, you know English sufficiently enough (I just read your last reply in that section, by the way). But I understand about improving. And I wish that I spoke several different languages. Barring any illness that prevents us from doing so, it's never too late to learn more languages, but it does get more difficult as we age. It's significantly easier on the brain to learn multiple languages when just starting to learn one's native language, for example. Flyer22 (talk) 18:08, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

		The Human Sexuality Barnstar
		Thank you for helping the Asexuality article reach GA status. Well, I know this article doesn’t belong to you. And yet you’ve added some very interesting sourced and information. I’m just looking for these sources on the Web and reading them with great interest. (Unfortunately, you don’t always add url, so that I have to search for the articles indicated by you.) The article is very interesting indeed. --SU ltd. (talk) 18:49, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Again, you're welcome. As for the urls, I usually add urls if they are available. The exception is when the url isn't helpful, such as when it doesn't go to a page in the book...but rather just the description page (sometimes with snippets that aren't too helpful or aren't helpful at all). So sometimes, I don't add the url in those cases. Most of the references in the article were already there before I started significantly working on the article; the urls not being there for any of those instances are because others didn't add them.

Again, thanks. And you're welcome. Flyer22 (talk) 19:10, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Vandalism

Favorite vandalism moments

Stating that I have favorite vandalism moments and or favorite vandals does not mean that I support vandalism on Wikipedia. I repeat: It does not mean that I support vandalism on Wikipedia. For those who feel that I should not have a section titled "Favorite vandalism moments" on my user page, well, what I mainly say to that is that I am human. And for someone who does not laugh a lot, it takes a really funny and or creative vandal to make me laugh...and a few have done so:

1: Fourleggedhourse -- this vandal vandalized the Tom Cruise article. Here is the link to that vandalism moment...[3]

2: 64.26.68.82 -- this vandal vandalized an article I created. If you guessed the Bianca Montgomery and Maggie Stone article, then you guessed correctly. This vandal, in one visit, made three different edits, all hilarious as heck, to what was then the Maggie's confession section of the Bianca Montgomery and Maggie Stone article. This was that article's first vandal. Here are the links to those humorous vandalism moments...[4][5][6] The big ouch about this is that this vandalism was carried out on the same day that this article was featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did you know? section. The plus is that those vandalism edits to this article were quickly reverted.

This vandal did not stop there. Another vandalism moment from this vandal can be seen with this link...[7] to the John Pollack article.

3: 131.212.147.32 -- Got a laugh out of me as well. This edit done to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer article was later reverted (of course) by an editor that I work with sometimes (Bignole), and it had to be reverted, but I could not help finding this edit funny that day...[8]

4: Not too long after, another vandal --121.210.217.13-- to the same article managed to get a smirk out of me with this edit...[9]

5: Number 5. Yes, at first...this edit, done to the Romeo and Juliet article by TonyHarrison4lyf, did not hit me with the funny, but after reading that one phrase that was edited in throughout the article, it became funny, really funny for a few moments, then back to being a single laugh. Plus, the enthusiasm of this vandal to type or paste in that one line throughout this entire long article... Wow, see what I mean, in this link...[10] Priceless.

Some crass stuff, and it may seem as though my sense of humor is on the dirty side, but I assure you that it is more about what I find funny, not anything about necessarily being dirty and crass.

And again, I do not truly condone vandalism on Wikipedia (really, I do not) and vandals do anger me, but I can appreciate the funny and or creative vandal every now and then. If this statement sounds contradictory, such as a person feeling that murder is horrific, but says that they can appreciate the creative murderer every now and then, it is not meant to be. That is like comparing apples and oranges, anyway.

Least favorite vandalism moments

1: 59.128.65.140 -- My user page (yeah, this user page) was vandalized for the first time and by a person of that IP, and...well...it was not very creative. I laughed once, but all in all, not enough to keep the laughs going for more than a second or two. This link originally showed a picture that the IP presented as me. It was not me, but if this user had used a picture of a penguin, perhaps that might have gotten more laughs out of me.

2:Colaatje5 -- I did not really bother this user much, though I did change some of this user's edits due to wrong formatting. Perhaps this user became frustrated with other editors doing the same and took it out on my user page. Though I would not totally discount that this anger was probably all directed at me. Just about erased my entire user page, this user did.[11]

3: This page was vandalized several more times, in addition to the above. I will list all of that one day. In the meantime, check the edit history of this page if you are interested in that.

If I, Flyer, ever leave Wikipedia for good

It is because of one of four things:

1: Either I am dead. And if so, I would hope that a good editor take over some of the articles I often edit and keep them in shape.

2: Either my life has gotten much busier outside of Wikipedia (though usually I'd be back on occasion).

3: For some bizarre reason, I have no more access to computers ever again.

4: I just can't take this place anymore, so I left. Cutting any ties that I have to Wikipedia and following the instructions in the How to Quit Wikipedia article as best I can.

Note: When, or if, completed, the following page may come in handy: User:Flyer22/Editing manual left after death.
