Pigman basking warmly in janitorial glory and casually snacking on the mysterious nougaty center of the WP logo. They say [weasel] he is an extremely polite piggy who will not bite.
Hi! My name is Pigman and I am a wikignome. (Like a low-rent comic book superhero, I have my own origin backstory.) I spend much of my time on Wikipedia cleaning up any article that catches my fancy. I'm a very promiscuous editor. Sometimes I justify my mop by attending to mundane admin tasks like speedy deletions. Sometimes I clean up incidents of policy violation and trollish mischief around the 'pedia.
Although you can't really tell from my contribs, I have a deep and abiding interest in language structure (philology) and word origins (etymology}. I read large contiguous swathes of dictionaries for fun and pleasure. I geek out over Samuel Johnson's 1755 dictionary and collect books of all kinds of slang whenever I can find them. (My current leisure reading: Quinion, Michael (2006). Gallimaufry: a hodgepodge of our vanishing vocabulary. Oxford: Oxford University Press. ISBN 0-19-861062-9. .)
I attempt to meet all interactions here with grace and courtesy. My goal remains: to be a reliable, steadfast, and jolly good swine to all Wikipedians. (Oh, and to improve the encyclopedia whenever I can stop tweaking my user page.)

- At the very least, give them a stronger warning about their actions. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 20:08, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
- Going through their edits, it seems the vast majority of them seem to be ideologically motivated. The user removes any reference to homosexuality or atheism. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 20:31, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

- This is a malicious attempt to get me banned for refusing to accept his assertion that a consensus had been achieved to remove that content, when it very clearly had not. The dispute discussion was still ongoing, although it had stalled for 27+ hours awaiting admin assistance. In the meantime I attempted to restore the disputed content to its long-standing condition, pending a reasoned consensus. -- de Facto (talk). 21:15, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
