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.

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.

A section from Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights.
This section from the left panel of Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights represents me.

I am Nihiltres (Template:Pron-en; ni-HIL-tres), a Wikipedian. I've been around since April 2005, and I've been an administrator since a nomination in May 2007. I tend to be somewhat of a wikignome, but I do a variety of tasks, including deletion, resolving ambiguous links, template editing, copyediting, helping out users, screencasts, answering emails sent to Misplaced Pages, and more. I like to dabble. 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. I come from Pointe-Claire, Quebec, which is on the island of Montreal in Canada.
