I'm here on Wikipedia to contribute my wealth of useless knowledge. I've been a registered user since July 31, 2006, but read and made contributions as an IP user for some time before that. My primary area of focus on Wikipedia is contributing to articles in subject areas that I am knowledgeable about (see below). I'm also involved in other areas such as fighting vandalism and fixing grammatical errors.
Please note that I am not and have never been an administrator, staff member, bureaucrat, or arbitration committee member, nor do I currently wish to hold any of those positions or user rights. Verify
Contribution interests [edit]
This is by no means an exhaustive list.

Other activities [edit]
This is also not meant to be an exhaustive list, and my emphasis on any of these varies from time to time.
- Improving article lead sections
- Fixing grammatical errors, particularly removal of contractions and first- and second-person pronouns
- Patrolling recent changes for blatant vandalism and creation of otherwise inappropriate pages
- Patrolling pages proposed for deletion, ensuring that all prodded pages are within policy
- Reporting blatant violations of the username policy
- Removing general discussion from article talk pages
Personal policies [edit]
See User:Kuyabribri/Policies for my personal policies on hoaxes, proposed deletion, vandalism warnings, and advertising.
- I don't like calling something "non-notable". Everything on Wikipedia is notable to someone, otherwise no one would have taken the time to write something on it. But not everything deserves an article. The notability guidelines exist because Wikipedia is not about everything.
- I throw WP:AGF and WP:BITE out the window for anyone who creates an attack page. The same goes for any user who supports an attack page.
- I am a firm believer that it is sometimes necessary to blow up an article and start over.
- "Wikipedia" is a proper noun and should always be spelled with a capital "W".
- Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and each entry in this encyclopedia is an article. Wikipedia does not have "profiles", "portfolios", "sites", or "web pages".
- If you don't know how to spell the word "article", you probably shouldn't be creating them on Wikipedia.
- No one cares about your garage band.
- I detest when an article opens by claiming a company's principal product is "solution(s)" or that a specific product is a "solution" unless the word "solution(s)" is part of a proper name or used in the chemistry context.
- If you need to use an article's text or an edit summary to specify that...
- an article subject is notable or how/why it is notable, I'm likely to believe that it doesn't meet Wikipedia's notability criteria.
- an article or some claim therein is "neutral" or "unbiased", I'm likely to believe that it isn't.
- an article or some claim therein is "factual", I'm likely to believe that you don't have reliable sources or the claim is original research.

Some essays that deal with Wikipedia that I've found amusing include: WP:DGAF, WP:OWB, M:DICK, M:GAY.
While I do not condone vandalism in any way, here are some examples of vandalism I've come across that were not vulgar or libelous, but that I found funny:
Apparently a Twinkle welcome template is "intimidation": [2].
Apparently I am an administrator and "staff", despite the fact that my user log easily shows that I have never been an administrator.
Barnstars [edit]
I will only list barnstars that I have actually earned. I will not list barnstars that I clearly did not deserve or were clearly misuse of the WikiLove button.

| Thank you so much for your work on improving The Double (Seattle Mariners). I didn't know the article existed until I saw a link at your page. It brought tears to my eyes to read it and hear that recording of Dave Neihaus. Tom Hulse (talk) 00:21, 19 October 2012 (UTC) |
