I invented those subscript ISO codes in video game infoboxes. That's about the scope of my achievements on Wikipedia.

Current projects

Okay, this section is outdated. I suppose they should still be worked on, so I'll leave them here.

Put writey-stuff here.
Will get this to Featured Article sooner or later.
Will get this to Good Article sooner or later.

Opinion on articles

Wikipedia is full of shit. That shit is comprised mostly of fictional coverage. The vehicle, best friend, and favorite foods of a Family Guy character. A near-unused Pokemon creature that resembles a Skunk. Honestly, what the hell? Hell is what: people like to read this. The majority of people who read fictional articles go for two things:

  • Plot summaries
  • Trivia

or

  • Extensive, in-depth plot coverage and trivia

It just happens to be that we cut out spoiler warnings and removed trivia sections. People like well-placed spoiler warnings because they can find the base of a plot, but not have it spoiled. People like an easily-accessible trivia section because it's interesting. No one cares how [random character/game] was received and developed. However... I supported the removal of spoiler warnings and integration of trivia, and I'm one of the strongest supporters of real-world information in video game articles. Hence:

I want to write a good encyclopedia, people want to read a bad one.
