This is a Misplaced Pages user page.

This is not an encyclopedia article. If you find this page on any site other than Misplaced Pages, you are viewing a mirror site. Be aware that the page may be outdated and that the user this page belongs to may have no personal affiliation with any site other than Misplaced Pages itself. The original page is located at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nihiltres.


User:Nihiltres/Nav

I am Nihiltres (IPA: /nɪˈhɪlˌtɹɛs/?), a Wikipedian. I am an administrator, and have been since a nomination in May 2007. I do a lot of work deleting articles tagged for speedy deletion, protecting pages based on requests, responding to requests 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 also volunteer answering emails as part of the Wikimedia OTRS team. I'm often on IRC in the #wikipedia, #wikipedia-en, and #wikipedia-en-admins IRC channels, so you can talk to me there if I'm available.

  About me

A section from Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights.

I am a science student living in Pointe Claire, on the island of Montreal. 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 political compass test, I scored as −4.92 on an economic scale of left versus right, and −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 Buddhist leanings. I therefore follow the Five Precepts 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 inductive in nature.

My username

  

My pseudonym is arbitrary: it is Latin for "nothingthree" ( Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help) → "nothing", Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help) → "three") and does not imply anything whatsoever. Several Wikipedians have at various times questioned me as to its meaning, usually making connections to nihilism. 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 Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help), Latin for "nobody", but the famous captain of Jules Verne's story Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea 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 epidemic username, Nihiltres.

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

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.
