From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Who am I? I'm a Gothic Libertarian Pagan philosopher from California.

I'm not a major editor of Wikipedia, but am instead a bit player. I know a little bit about this and that and make contributions when I can.

Picture of the Day

[edit]
Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde (16 October 1854 – 30 November 1900) was an Irish poet and playwright. After completing his education in Ireland and the UK, Wilde became associated with the philosophy of aestheticism and then settled in London. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, including plays, poems and lectures, he became one of the most popular playwrights in London in the early 1890s, with works including Salome (1891), An Ideal Husband (1895) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895). He also wrote his sole novel The Picture of Dorian Gray around this time. At the height of his fame and success, Wilde prosecuted the Marquess of Queensberry for criminal libel. The Marquess was the father of Wilde's lover, Lord Alfred Douglas. The libel trial unearthed evidence that caused Wilde to drop his charges and led to his own arrest and trial for gross indecency with men; he was convicted and jailed from 1895 to 1897. After his release, he spent his last three years impoverished and in exile in France before his death from meningitis. His last works included De Profundis (published posthumously in 1905), a letter discussing his spiritual journey through his trials, and The Ballad of Reading Gaol (1898), a poem about the harsh rhythms of prison life.Photograph credit: Napoleon Sarony; restored by Adam Cuerden

Politics

[edit]

I participate in the Political Spectrum article from time to time, mostly in the Alternate Spectra section.

I also participate in articles about Libertarianism when I can.

Comics

[edit]

Having been a fan for years, I try to add what I can to the Comics pages. I was the one who first inserted the idea in The Joker that his insanity might be a Super Power.

Special Projects

[edit]

Once a week I review the articles for deletion votes and chime in.

I also look at New Pages, New Images, and especially Recent Changes occasionally because that is where most problems occur.

I'm not a member of any special projects team though.

Religious Imposters

[edit]

I'm working on impostors Mike Warnke, Laurel Rose Willson, John Todd (occultist), Hershel Smith, Rebecca Brown (Christian author), and William Schnoebelen to link them to the category Impostors as a step to possibly create a Relgious Impostors category. If you know of more frauds like these, let me know.
