Had to update this part at least. I've been here for a while now (since May '05 I think) and I'm starting to get better at this thing. There are somethings I do dislike about Misplaced Pages and Misplaced Pages users though. They are the following:
Many of the people who vandalize are IP's. There should be a rule where you have to register to edit an article. I see no argument in favor of keeping IPs editting.
People do not often enough put aside their political beliefs in order to make a good accurate article.
Often you see articles that are unsourced, that really pisses me off.
Some articles are sourced with links to geocities.com, a random blog, extremely partisan sources, etc... These are not good sources and should not be used.
Do not make articles just so they can be made and leave them there as stubs.
If your interested in politics you should really check out the link to the Utopia-Politics forum in the relevant links. I post their under the handle "Y2A" and we are happy to welcome any new posters.
What I do on Misplaced Pages
I devote much of my time on Misplaced Pages editting Peru-related (and Latin America-related) articles, usually regarding contemporary political issues and history of the country/region. In addition to this you can find me adding to articles about political media publications and broadcasters (many time just adding infoboxes and images of frontpages to magazines, newspapers, academic journals, etc...) and of course New Jersey government articles. I also try to keep my eyes on the look out for POV hawks and quickly revert POV edits. In between these activities I spend some time on afd's removing material not notable enough to be on Misplaced Pages. I currently have over 1,500 edits on Misplaced Pages. You can check how many edits you have here

This user does not watch MSNBC, CNN, or Fox News because they broadcast sensationalism, pseudo-news, and unintelligent partisan bullshit targeted towards philistines.

John Henry Turpin (1876–1962) was a sailor in the United States Navy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was one of the first African-American chief petty officers in the U.S. Navy, becoming a chief gunner's mate on the cruiser Marblehead in 1917. He was transferred to the Fleet Reserve in 1919 and retired in 1925. He is also notable for surviving the catastrophic explosions of two U.S. Navy ships: USS Maine in 1898, and USS Bennington in 1905.Photograph credit: unknown photographer; restored by Adam Cuerden
