Welcome,

I am a Dutchman but have been living, since 2006, in County Clare, Ireland, Ireland. I'm interested in local history, mainly from county Clare (Ireland) and Groningen (The Netherlands), Irish traditional music and genealogy.

Unconventional but effective support for Wikipedians involved in the War against Vandalism, POV-pushing, Spamming and bad faith edits

It is remarkable that Misplaced Pages is claiming not to be a site for advertising and promotion, but on the other hand it is extremely difficult to remove articles that are plain advertising or promotional. This is due to the many editors who claim that normal editing should do the trick but fail to improve these articles they say can be improved. This seriously undermines Misplaced Pages's stance against advertising and promotion. The fact that WikiProjects become increasingly powerful with settings the rules is also a threat to the reliability, independence and quality of Misplaced Pages.

Unfortunately for many people, I do not discriminate. I treat everybody exactly the same, no matter how important somebody is (or thinks they are) or how inexperienced somebody is. I do not care about personal hobbies or local consensus when that is detrimental to the encyclopaedia....

The Banners Law

The more truth or freedom is in the username of an editor, the bigger the chance on a lack of truth and freedom in the edits of that editor.

Writing articles is fun, but...

...sometimes a bit dull and boring. Pictures can solve a lot of that. You can find loads of pictures in The Commons Picture Archives!

... how do I find coordinates for an article. The Coordinates tool is very handy for this.

... sometimes you want to know what articles you have created. Simply check that here.

... sometimes you just want to know how much you have done. Simply check that here.

Barnstars

The Disambiguator's Barnstar
The Disambiguator's Barnstar is awarded to Wikipedians who are prolific disambiguators.
For clearing out the templates with disambig links, a feat the rest of us assumed would never get done. JaGa 15:28, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
The Original Barnstar
For your efforts on Dutch restaurants. Restaurants are a poorly developed part of wikipedia. Keep it up! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:46, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your work preventing point-of-view problems in the Margaret Sanger article. Noleander (talk) 19:48, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
My friend, please accept this barnstar as my thanks for tirelessly fixing all of those disambiguation links on my Texas Legislature templates. Thanks! Cheers, Freebirdthemonk 05:22, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
The Barnstar of Diligence
For taking care of all those bad template edits by DPL bot caused by the bad data on Toolserver. Your cleanup work saved me from a lot of annoyed editors, and I appreciate your help. JaGa 08:11, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
I do lots of aviation accident edits. If I had seen those templates in aviation articles, I would have nominated them for deletion. Based on my own experience, some members of the Aviation Wikiproject think WP policies don't apply. ...William 15:41, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Abandoned projects

  • Michelin project. Too much spamming, non-ENWP-editor following me around for harassing, changes in the Michelin procedures that makes maintaining the articles more difficult. To top it off: editors thinking that many trivial and/or spammy mentions proves notability.
