Hi! My name is Johan Elisson. I am a Gothenburger with (soon) a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering physics and a Master of Science degree in engineering mathematics and computational science. I rarely write about subjects related to my education though, my main interrests on Wikipedia are history and sports, with a concentration on Swedish military history and Swedish football.

I am probably best known as the creator of the WikiProject on Football and the Football Portal, both largely based on cooperating and getting people to work together. I made my first edits to Wikipedia in July 2004 and became an administrator in October 2006. I have been largely inactive here för the last few years with only a handful of edits between February 2009 and November 2011, but now I have once again found motivation to contribute.

My current edit count is not really interresting for anything but the adminship nomination process, and seeing I actually passed that one, the edit counts have no value at all. I feel I can make useful contributions to Wikipedia no matter if I have admin privilegies or not, and I definitely agree with the meta edit counting page which says that

your edit count is not your IQ, value as a human being, or a score in a video game. It does not determine your worth as a Wikimedian. It does not cure cancer or grant you a seat on the secret spaceship that will be traveling to Mars when the Krulls return to destroy the planet in 2012... Don't let it bother you. It's just a number in the database.

I think of myself as a delusionist, but closer to being a deletionist than an inclusionist. I also believe in some kind of cabal. Maybe I'm even part of it? I do act a little rouge from time to time.

A selection of articles I have written or contributed to:

Assorted Wikipedia quotations:
  • Wikipedia is a paradox — it doesn't work in theory, only in practice.
    CatherineMunro
  • Vandalizing Wikipedia is like masturbating. It feels good to you, but not to anybody else, and it results in a sudden spurt of useless information that needs to be cleaned up.
    DragonflySixtyseven
  • When you start accusing everyone of being in on a conspiracy, you shouldn't be surprised if they decide to confirm your paranoia by banding together against you.
    Khaosworks
  • If enough people act independently towards the same goal, the end result is indistinguishable from a conspiracy.
    Extreme Unction
  • Editing Wikipedia is a privilege, not a right.
    Alhutch
  • I wish I could read Wikipedia as fast as it's being written...
