About me

I am MuZemike. I am an administrator on the English Wikipedia. I hail from the great state of Wisconsin and hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I have been editing on Wikipedia since May 31, 2008 and have over 30,000 edits in my name (according to "My preferences"). I can also be found from time to time at Wikimedia Commons or at Wikiquote. I can also be found on the #wikipedia ^connect, #wikipedia-en ^connect, and #wikipedia-en-spi ^connect IRC channels (as well as #wikipedia-en-admins ^connect but admins only) under the same username for anything more immediate or just to have a nice banter.

I generally self-identify as a precisionist as far as mainspace philosophy is concerned, and I do some work in merging articles to make better quality articles; information ideally should all be in one place and not scattered throughout multiple places. I also believe in following the steps in WP:BEFORE before going the deletion route with articles as well as proposing articles for deletion before I go to WP:AFD. I think if everyone followed these steps, there would be far fewer AFD discussions as all the homework is already done and properly.

As noted below, I also regularly patrol new pages, normally from the back of the log. However, I also patrol the front for obvious speedy deletions and clear username violations. I do have working knowledge of Java and C++. On 3 September 2009, I created an AWB bot named MuZebot, which received bot approval on 7 September 2009 (see bot request).

I have also started reviewing Good Article nominations. The link on top of the page documents all the articles I have reviewed. On 21 July 2009, I have started clerking over at sockpuppet investigations, performing mostly menial and clerical stuff over there. I was nominated for adminship on 7 September 2009, which passed on 14 September 2009 with a result of 121/7/3 (121 in support, 7 who opposed, and 3 being neutral).

Quotes

...people let their opinion be formed by wether [sic] it fits their left/right wing status, rather than by facts. Because they understandably can't understand them. But then they shouldn't have an opinion. And maybe that's the major problem, that people think they should have an opinion about everything. And possibly that's a negative side-effect of democracy. But then that's a dangerous thing to say because less subtle people might not understand the subtlety that even the best option always has its flaws.

—User:Amrad

People who loudly accuse the community of some vice are almost invariably guilty of, but blind to, some variant of that vice themselves.

—User:Antandrus/observations on Wikipedia behavior

Two users revert-warring each other is akin to two people taking turns kicking each other in the shins.

Ask not what the Wikipedia can do for you, but what you can do for the Wikipedia.

Association of Wikipedians Who Dislike Making Broad Judgments About the Worthiness of a General Category of Article, and Who Are in Favor of the Deletion of Some Particularly Bad Articles, but That Doesn't Mean They Are Deletionists

AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTAD

Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet

It is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia.

This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.
