I have been registered at Misplaced Pages since November 14, 2005.
I speak Italian and French fluently, and am learning German. I've translated articles from both the Italian and French Misplaced Pages and would be willing to do more.
What I do
I contribute to articles on theatrical and musical performance.
I keep an eye out for non-NPOV political buzzwords, like "protecting traditional marriage" and "pro-abortion."
My time and energy are finite. The fact that I have not edited something - whether by changing some things in a highly problematic article and not others, or by passing over an article entirely - does not mean I agree with it as it stands.
I have a high respect for Misplaced Pages's guidelines, but the ones that I hold dearest are WP:NPOV and WP:V.
I think that no literature or theatre stub should be so small that it doesn't contain plot information.
I really hate when people put bare URLs in references. Seriously, even if you're not going to use a citation template, it's not so much work to use square brackets and a title.
I occasionally make silly mistakes in political articles, like labeling a legislator as a Democrat when they are in fact a Republican, or as a Senator when they are in fact a Representative. I apologize in advance.
I am gradually easing in to using Twinkle.
It is apparently really difficult to spell my username? Whatever, I'll answer to anything that vaguely resembles it.
Resolving the Wiegand article flap
I can see from your user page that people like George W. Bush (whom I think was the least qualified person for the Presidency in the 20th Century) and the proverbial quintessence of macho jingoism, Theodore Roosevelt would have little appeal to you. I personally admire TR for the fact that he was prepared for the job. Why this seeming war on Wiegand and, perhaps, by extension, TR? I do not work for Wiegand nor am I affiliated with him, but I have seen him and he does TR very well and he's portrayed TR in all 50 states. Compared to tens of thousands of totally un-sourced and outright factually incorrect articles on Misplaced Pages, this article on Wiegand covers the the subject material. I've been on Misplaced Pages for years, myself, we both know one can use Misplaced Pages to make war on any article or editor a person pleases. These "wars" can be direct or indirect or can be wars of attrition, too. I do not want disputes on the Wiegand article to escalate. I think we've pretty much put to rest the "non-notable" candidate for deletion topic. Come on, this guys notable by wikipedia standards and there are 3rd party news papers that discuss him. When that "not notable" tag was challenged, you resort to additional tags - primary sources, etc. Can't we keep things on the up-and-up. OK - so You don't "like" Wiegand or anything that he represents - fine. This is also not 1904 either and thankfully, the World has turned. The era of so-called "strong men" and "weak compliant women" has ended. My daughter is 18 times undefeated in Tae-kwon-doh, 2d in the State of WA in women's wrestling and wants to go to the US Naval Academy and become a fighter pilot. A woman can be whatsoever she strives to be. Yes, the world has changed but TR remains a product of his era and Wiegand portrays that man and his era very well and a Misplaced Pages article on him is totaly appropriate. Your thoughts - here or elsewhere? I've opened this up on the Wiegand article discussion page. Thanks SimonATL (talk) 13:38, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
