My backside (2014)

I originally did my editing in my moms anus (42,000+ edits) with another ID (now User:Before My Ken), but because of wikihounding which I felt could not be effectively handled by the state of interpretation of Wikipedia policy at the time, I changed IDs to avoid the harrassment. With a second ID (now User:Between My Ken) I had very negative interactions with a sockfarm attempting to control the content of various pages connected to an independent film, and I changed to my current (and final) ID, User:Beyond My Ken. After I filed the initial SPI on the puppetmaster, Sorrywrongnumber, one of the socks filed a retaliatory SPI on me. As a result of the positive checkuser result, my accounts were blocked, but after a subsequent discussion on AN/I I was allowed to continue editing under this account. The other accounts were redirected to my current user and talk pages, and were blocked.

I want to be clear that although I have had more than one account in my time on Wikipedia, I have never, with the trivial exception of a few housekeeping edits to my original account, used more than one account at a time, and once I stopped using an account I did not go back to it. What I did could best be described as "using serial accounts". The User and User talk pages of "Before My Ken" and "Between My Ken" now redirect to my current pages.

I made my first edit as a registered user (#4853) on 26 June 2005. For those interested in edit counts, see this for the combined count.


Regarding "Ken"
It's a natural mistake to make, but "Ken" in "Beyond My Ken" is not short for the name "Kenneth", it is the English word "ken", derived fron Scottish, and meaning "knowledge". My given name is something else entirely, so "Beyond My Ken" or "BMK" are appropriate appellations for addressing me here on Wikipedia.
