My first Wikipedia edit as a registered user was on [[1 March]] [[2005]], it was to the gay rights page because this is an issue i feel strongly about. As a poofter I am partial to taking it up the pooper every now and then, so if anyone want to stop me from stretching my ass to the size of a dinner plate i am going to fight them.

=== Ancient history ===
==Gayness==
Born in rural [[Ohio]] in 1973, I am of [[Scots-Irish American|Scotch-Irish]] descent and am the [[only child]] of a working-class father and white-collar mother. I was raised on a steady diet of [[Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]] and attended the same [[public school]] district all 13 years. During my teen years I was a very active [[hospital volunteer]], and I attended weekly [[Presbyterianism|Presbyterian]] church services with my grandparents from the time I was in seventh grade until I graduated from high school and moved away to college.
As I said before I am a albino that sits at home and looks up gay porn on my computer, everynow and then i go out and try to find men.

One of the best parts of my childhood was my family's love of travel. Of the 17 years I lived with my parents, we took multi-day, out-of-state [[vacation]]s during fifteen of those years. Virtually every summer we would pack up the [[Travel trailer|camper]] and enjoy a 5 - 15 day, 1500+ [[Kilometre|km]] long road-trip to somewhere interesting (four of our vacations saw us travel over 3000 km!).

About

My first Wikipedia edit as a registered user was on 1 March 2005. After an unanimous RfA, I became an administrator on 11 December 2007. If you want to know more about me, you must be either lost or bored. Either way, this page is me in a nutshell. --Kralizec! (talk) 21:12, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Ancient history

Born in rural Ohio in 1973, I am of Scotch-Irish descent and am the only child of a working-class father and white-collar mother. I was raised on a steady diet of PBS and attended the same public school district all 13 years. During my teen years I was a very active hospital volunteer, and I attended weekly Presbyterian church services with my grandparents from the time I was in seventh grade until I graduated from high school and moved away to college.

One of the best parts of my childhood was my family's love of travel. Of the 17 years I lived with my parents, we took multi-day, out-of-state vacations during fifteen of those years. Virtually every summer we would pack up the camper and enjoy a 5 - 15 day, 1500+ km long road-trip to somewhere interesting (four of our vacations saw us travel over 3000 km!). (see Travel below)

My Bachelor of Science degree was earned from Bowling Green State University where I initially majored in Health Care Administration, but eventually changed to Management information systems. Along the way, I also picked up a minor in Interpersonal communications. In college I was involved in student government and the Honors Student Association (despite not being an honors student). During four of my college years, I worked in the university's network services department. I also did a three month internship with a software developer in New England.

Recent history

In 1998 I married my college sweetheart. Our son was born in 2003; he is named after his great great great great great grandfather who emigrated from County Down, Ireland to the Colony of Pennsylvania in the mid-1700's. Our (fraternal) twin daughters were born in 2005; they are named after their various grand and great grandmothers. Our family also includes a dog, cat, and three tanks of tropical fish. The username 'Kralizec!' has been my handle (or .nic as we used to call it back in ye olde unix days) since 1993.

My employer from 1998 to 2008 was a midwestern bank, where I held a variety of information technology jobs. From 2003 to 2008 I served as a team leader in the company's network monitoring department, which because I worked four ten-hour days each week, I was able to keep our kids home with me three days every week (enabling me to enjoy being a semi-stay-at-home dad). After my employer was eaten by a competitor and I was subsequently downsized, in April 2008 I began doing IT contract work in the banking industry.

Beliefs

Personally, I self-identify as being an agnostic secular humanist. On the American political spectrum I am a Moderate Republican with mostly conservative fiscal views (including being an advocate for fiscal responsibility) and moderate social views (including strong support for same-sex marriage and the environment) ... however some of my more conservative friends accuse me of being a Republican In Name Only. Despite being agnostic and a devout believer in Evolutionism, I semi-regularly attend services at our local Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).

Interests

My interests and hobbies include playing with my three rambunctious kids; travel (see below; by age 29, I had already been to 30 U.S. states and territories, 2 Canadian provinces, and 6 Australian states and territories); reading books (science and science fiction) and magazines (The Economist, National Geographic, Newsweek); amateur photography (primarily digital these days, via my Canon PowerShot S80); tropical fish (Mickey Mouse Platys); strategy games, both on the computer (RTS, turn-based, and the historic city building genres) and board games (such as Axis & Allies, Shogun, Ticket to Ride, A Game of Thrones, etc.); as well as sushi and Japanese cuisine.

In my free time I moderate an email list on Palladium RPG's and often frequent the message boards at RPGnet.

Travel

Wikipedia

Philosophy

Initially an adherent of Inclusionism, a few years ago I became a subscriber of Eventualism as a response to the large amount of non-notable, in-universe cruft seeping into the project. I also feel that process is important to the smooth operation of the project, however the natural prevalence of Instruction creep gives me pause.

Edit history

My first (anonymous) Wikipedia edits were in 2003. It was not until early 2005 that I finally broke down and became a registered user.

Pet peeve: Articles that link to disambiguation pages instead of the correct article are the bane of my existence. My personal nightmare must be the Oil disambiguation page with its 1000+ links. Arg!

Milestones:

Community recognition

On occasion my efforts have been recognized by members of the Wikipedia community.

Projects

Current

To date, I have had varying degrees of involvement with the following projects:

  • Australia - concentrating on the nation's maritime and military history
  • Maritime warfare task force - emphasis on world navies and naval battles
  • Oklahoma - mainly related to tourism areas in the state
  • Photography - amateur photography with a focus on architecture, landmarks, landscapes, and nature
  • Ships - primarily ships from the pre-Dreadnought era through the Cold War, with emphasis on WWI, WWII, and Cold War ship classes
  • Templates - focus on navigational templates
  • User warnings - keeping up with the latest discussions and developments, especially relating to new vandal warnings

Former

Projects from which I have retired:

Recent changes patrol

While not a member of the recent changes patrol per se, there are several articles I watch very closely in order to prevent vandalism. They include:

Contributions

This section is pretty long and boring ... but a lot shorter since I forked the category, disambiguation, photography, and template sections to their own pages. This area serves primarily as my own reference, especially when I need a template for starting a new article, category, template, or disambiguation page.

Articles

Listed below are the articles I created, de-stubbed, heavily contributed to, or are just generally proud of my contributions to:

Photographs and images

To date, I have uploaded more than sixty of my own images to Wikipedia. They include photos taken in Australia (Northern Territory, Victoria), Canada (Ontario), the United States (primarily Ohio and Oklahoma, but also including Illinois, Michigan, and West Virginia), and a couple of map illustrations.

Disambiguation pages

Despite my disdane for them, disambiguation pages do serve a purpose. I have even created a few.

Categories

So far I have created over fifty categories. A large number of them have a naval theme and stem from my participation in WikiProject Ships.

Redirects

For ease of navigation, I have created heaps of redirects during my time here at Wikipedia. However, when I create a redirect, I am always sure to use one of the tags specified in Wikipedia:Redirect.

Templates

Templates can be a powerful navigational tool for browsing closely related topics. Currently I have started or heavily edited around twenty-five templates, many of them in conjunction with my participation in the Ships WikiProject.
