Current Wikistress (Borrowed from Lucky)

Hi! Not so new here anymore. ;) I've figured this stuff out. The Be bold directive is most useful. Anyway, my name is Andrew, and thus far, I've made nearly 15000 edits, many to entries relevant to the two places I've spent most of my life - Washington, DC, and the Charlotte area of North Carolina. Specifically, I've done 95% of the work on the Washington Metro and its stations.

I'm also heavily involved in United States Congressional delegations, because ... I dunno. Tables are pretty. (See U.S. Congressional Delegations from California for my best example).

At present, since I live in North Carolina, I'm also very involved in the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season and 2005 Atlantic hurricane season and their updates. I've helped make links for all hurricane names to the proper articles and seasons, and next plan to go through the pre-1979 seasons. Whew.

They made me an Administrator on September 29, 2004.

Project: Wikipedia:WikiProject Stations, because I'm a subway nut, and this was barely started then seemingly abandoned months ago. However, I don't know how useful this is... mental note: Ask.

I attended Emerson Preparatory School (started) and The George Washington University (destubbed); The major pages I've created are First Union and Barber-Scotia College; and I have, at present, about 400 pages on my watch list. (Pruned!)

Wikistress: Must remain calm and unpolitical... I am here, at the moment, to add information, not to engage in fights. Anything can be cleaned up by others. I do, however, seem to have a gift with POV issues. I tried to do a small rewrite of anarcho-capitalism but it was essentially undone within a week; I can only hope to go back to it someday and try again. Same deal with Korea - There's someone there who's constantly inserting anti-Japan stuff, while staying just south of POV issues. Maybe someday. I find it easier to walk away from pages rather than get personally involved; the way of Wikipedia is that all issues will be resolved in time. There are always other articles I can work on.

At 0911UTC on June 19, 2005, I made my 10,000th edit, to Rambo: First Blood Part II.

TIP: If you find your wikistress is reaching high levels, or if you're hitting your watchlist every 20 seconds, here's a tip: Hit alt-x instead. I've found that browsing random pages and making edits on them is not only a great way to gain knowledge, but it's a nice way to contribute to Wikipedia and not be too emotionally involved at the moment.

Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!

I have made many provincial maps . If you want your country mapped, don't hesitate to let me know, another good one I did on request was Mauritania.

[edit] About my name

Yes, it's from a video game. But I'm not one of those people who just runs around with a video game name thinking he's cool. I'm not cool at all. ...

Anyway, way back in 1991/1992, when I first joined Prodigy, I hooked up with the "Final Fantasy fan clubs" (what do you expect, I was 11) and, needing a name, and always being horrible (still to this day!) at making up my own name, I took the first name from Final Fantasy 2 that I saw wasn't used - Heal the world-iddly-orld.

It's grown to just be the nickname I use. That happens after using the same name for 13 years. *shrug* Hell, I even have girlfriends who have called me "Golbie." So there.

[edit] To Do

Add MARC information, link Metro and MARC together
~~Fix up George Washington University~~ Major improvement, now just need to fix up the sports.
More racing stuff.
~~Make an article for the SlipKnot web browser.~~ One already exists. :)
Finish up old storm seasons+redirects.
Finish maps.

[edit] Local articles to do, take photos for, and expand

[edit] Notable Achievements

Added Ongoing Trials to Current Events.
Created articles for nearly all fifty U.S. state congressional delegations; now need to finish them.
Was a major part of working on the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season articles.
Fixed the horrible tripling of Pope Benedict XVI when he was revealed :)

[edit] Admin policies

Let me put these right out here:

No mercy for vandals. If you vandalize a page, you will probably be warned. If you vandalize again with fluffy stuff, you will be warned again. On the other hand, if you vandalize maliciously, you will be blocked. I will consider a clean slate after a month, removing old warnings from anyone, in case the IP has changed hands.
Personally, I think Speedy Delete should be expanded. Too much stuff clogs up AfD. But until this happens, I will remain within the strict lines of Speedy.
You can always contest any action with me. Please do.
I will not typically protect for vandalism; I figure, if I can do that, I can also block the vandal, which does more good than protection. I will, however, protect, without warning, any high traffic page that has been doubled. Sorry, but if it's so high traffic, it would double the time to fix if I inserted a notice. Please understand. I will as quickly as I can fix the doubling, and unprotect it.

NOTE: If you send me an email about being blocked, please put in all information needed to unblock you like, I dunno, your IP address? because I will likely not respond to your email directly.

I have other ideas that I need to formulate and present to the population at large, in particular the second version of my Semantic Wikipedia propsal.

Thanks for visiting!
