I am '''Nihiltres''' <span title="I guessed the pronunciation, so this might be horribly wrong. NEH-HILL-TREHS.">(IPA: /nɪhɪl̩tres/?)</span>, a Wikipedian. I am an ], and have been since a ] in May 2007. I do a lot of work deleting articles tagged for ], protecting pages based on ], responding to ] for edits to protected pages, and occasionally blocking someone with an inappropriate username or who has been vandalizing. Aside from my administrative duties, I do a bunch of work with templates, cleanup, and occasionally writing articles. I'm often on IRC in the , , and ], so you can talk to me there if I'm available.

I am a science student living in ], on the ]. As I am a student, it's possible to roughly estimate my age, however I would discourage people from guessing my age because I wish to be ageless on Misplaced Pages, being judged instead on the quality of my contributions and the cogency of arguments which I put forth.

It should generally be assumed that people are inherently biased - as such, I reason that it would be appropriate to disclose these biases. In terms of political standpoint, I tend to be reasonably liberal - according to the , I scored as {{nowrap|-4.92}} on an economic scale of left versus right, and {{nowrap|-5.25}} on a social scale of libertarianism versus authoritarianism. In terms of spirituality, I am ''nominally'' a Protestant, though I abandoned those beliefs a number of years ago and now prefer the idea of ]-flavored transcendental pluralism. I therefore follow ] and some other tenets of Buddhism, but am otherwise agnostic. In terms of "transcendental pluralism", I mean it that I hold one's beliefs to be generally ] true for oneself. Aside from this pluralism, I greatly dislike dogma in general, especially those which can be categorized as pseudoscience, although I acknowledge that any argument involving an omnipotent being is necessarily inductive in nature.

My pseudonym is arbitrary: it is ] for "nothingthree" (''nihil'' = nothing, ''tres'' = three) and does not imply anything whatsoever. Several Wikipedians have at various times questioned me as to its meaning, usually making connections to ]. I am not specifically nihilistic, but I do at times value a nihilistic or, similarly, minimalist point of view for its philosophical clarity.

In reality, it was an interesting compromise: I originally wanted to be ''Nemo'', ] for "nobody", but the famous captain of ]'s story '']'' had ruined the obscurity of the word for me. Further, I tried "Nihil", but that was taken. I dislike numbers in names, but adding a number as text sounded fine, so I added one of my favourite numbers, three, in the same Latin as my alternate "Nihil", to form my now endemic username, Nihiltres.

The strangest connection that has been made with my username to another topic is the "-tres" to ], whose name happens to have similarly borrowed "tres" from Latin, though through ].

I tend to use the same username across the internet, Nihiltres, but occasionally I am known as '''Shade''', a name I will sometimes prefer when it is, rarely, available. </div>

In this userspace I have a number of useful pages:
*], which I use for experimentation and development of things not yet ready or inappropriate for the article or template namespaces. Feel free to edit it, as long as you are constructive.
**An archive of a rewrite of the ] article I made using the sandbox: ]
*A number of ]:
**]
**]
**]
*Pages which govern the appearance of my userspace:
**] controls the appearance of my talk page
**] controls the appearance of my user talk archives.
*My user skin customization pages:
**], which contains a custom-expanded and slightly modified version of ]'s excellent ], and a little script from ] which changes some text of those top tabs for me.
**], which removes some annoying copyright warnings I know not to violate, hides the minimally useful watchlist byte change numbers, and modifies the colour of visited links to be slightly easier on the eyes.
I will update this section as needed if more content is created. If you like the layout or design of my userpage, ask me and I'll create something similar for you.
