About

File:K1600Motor.jpg

Originally from Atlanta, I now live in the Richmond, Virginia, USA area. By day, I am an information security officer; at other times, I'm just a jack-of-all-trades and master of none.

I'm an instrument-rated airplane pilot (ASEL), motorcyclist (dirt and street), amateur (as in not-very-good) musician, and the worst golfer imaginable. Over the last 10 years or so, I've spent more and more time seeing the world from the seat of a touring motorcycle.

Someday, I hope to ride the Trans America Trail and the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, but that's going to take a lighter bike (that can handle unpaved roads).

Activities

Lately, I've spent a fair amount of time patrolling recent changes to high-volume Wikipedia pages. Wow! What an interesting experience! I feel I'm becoming something of a bastard regarding unsourced additions to the encyclopedia.

If nothing else, it's an incredible exercise in managing emotional responses, which is more difficult than I ever imagined it would be. This cute little image is both a reminder to me and a pointer to an article on the subject, if you're interested.

As I gain more experience, I intend to post descriptions of the more noteworthy ones here. Whether educational or humorous, they are always interesting!

Favorite Quotations

My new favorite quote for Wikipedia:

{{quote|Another key to the problem here, {name of contentious editor}, is you don't see yourself as having an opinion; you see yourself as bearing The Truth. You perceive your biases as neutral.|WP:TIGERS, quoting someone on [WikiEN-l]}}

Other favorites:

{{quote|I can NOT emphasize this enough:
There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative "I heard it somewhere" pseudo information is to be tagged with a "needs a cite" tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all information, but it is particularly true of negative information about living persons.
I think a fair number of people need to be kicked out of the project just for being lousy writers. (This is not a policy statement, just a statement of attitude and frustration.)
