| I am '''Nihiltres''' <span title="I guessed the IPA pronunciation, so this might be horribly wrong. NIH-HILL-TREHS.">(IPA: /nɪˈhɪlˌtɹɛs/?)</span>, a Wikipedian. I am an ], and have been since a ] in May 2007. I do a fair amount of work as an administrator, primarily deleting pages tagged for ] or ]. Aside from my administrative help, I do a bunch of work with templates, cleanup, and occasionally writing articles. I also volunteer answering emails as part of the Wikimedia ] team. I'm often on IRC in the , , and ], so you can talk to me there if I'm available. | |||
| <h3 style="text-align:center;">About me</h3> | |||
| ] | |||
| I am a science student living in ], on the ]. As I am a student, it's possible to guess at my age: I would discourage people from doing so, 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 am largely agnostic, with some ] leanings. I therefore follow ] and some other tenets of Buddhism, but am otherwise agnostic. Although I am generally accepting of people's religious beliefs, I personally greatly dislike dogma, especially those which can be categorized as pseudoscience, although I acknowledge that any argument involving an omnipotent being is necessarily ] in nature. | |||

| My pseudonym is arbitrary: it is ] for "nothingthree" ({{lang|la|''nihil''}} → "nothing", {{lang|la|''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 a nihilist, though 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 {{lang|la|''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 ] 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. | |||

| <h3 style="text-align:center;">Userspace</h3> | |||
| ] | |||
| In my 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 ]: | |||
| **] | |||
| **] | |||
| **] | |||
| *Other subpages: | |||
| **], a now unnecessary script written in AppleScript that converted implementations of {{]}} to the better ] format. I used it while {{]}} was still a CSS hack that impaired usability. {{]}} has since been converted to use ImageMap itself, as a method of bypassing the limitations of ImageMap was implemented by the developers. | |||
| **'']'' is now a redirect to the page to which it was moved, ]. That page is a tutorial explaining how to use the ImageMap feature. | |||
| *Pages which govern the appearance of my userspace: | |||
| **] controls the appearance of my talk page | |||
| **] controls the appearance of my user talk archives. | |||
| **] controls the navigation box which appears on many of my subpages. | |||
| *My user skin customization pages: | |||
| **], which contains a number of various scripts which enhance my user experience by altering the interface slightly. | |||
| **], which fine-tunes the interface appearance for my personal preference, including some minor changes to colour. | |||
| **], the equivalent of the vector.js page while I use the Monobook skin. It implements a couple other changes: | |||
| ***], special scripts called through the monobook.js page if I'm using my iPod Touch. | |||
| ***], special styling called through the monobook.js page if I'm using my iPod Touch. | |||
| **], the equivalent of the vector.css page while I use the Monobook skin. | |||
| 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. | |||
