Editor from the Dallas area of Texas.

I may post from User:HasteurMobile. Know that has the same force of weight that this account does, but is for cases where I am editing from my tablet or phone and do not want to accidentally click on a link that i normally have access to.

My (personal) Inclusion/Deletion policy

Much like Justice Potter Stewart in the landmark case "I know it when I see it" is how I look at articles. Either they belong, deserve the benefit of the doubt or are so beyond hope that deletion is the best remedy for them.

Personal Declaration of Conflict of Interest

The items I post and write about here are exclusidely my indiviudal thoughts and do not represent any organizations or employers.

I declare, of my own volition, the following conflicts of interest:

  • MMA based articles: I am so heavily invested/involved in the MMA article space that I will only make recommendations regarding articles/editors involved in the Mixed Martial Arts space
  • Blizzard Entertainment/Video Games: I am involved in the game in addition to doing a podcast about the topic. As such I will only make recommendations regarding articles.

Notice

As of this diff there was an involuntary interaction ban between myself and another user. The interaction ban was appealed here.

For your work on the List of Wars dispute. I was at my wits' end with those two, and I think you found what was probably the best solution. Sleddog116 (talk) 18:32, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
A Bunny for You
 
I see seven or so experienced, thoughtful Wikipedias who all see eye to eye. That sounds like the community speaking. I trust the community more than I trust my own view. You are all probably right and I am wrong.
I hope you find a lasting solution, as wasted keystrokes on back pages is one of the great tragedies at Wikipedia.
I look forward to working with you one day when we are both paddling in the same direction.
Much respect and best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:07, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

  You are a remarkably exemplar editor.
You would be a good administrator in my opinion, and you are qualified!
You personify an Administrator without tools, and have gained my support; already!

  The Progressive Barnstar
I couldn't find a barnstar that would adequately thank those involved in making the template editor user right RFC a reality, so I created this new one. The Progressive Barnstar recognizes those courageous enough to work towards a vision for change at Wikipedia. Thanks for participating in the drafting process. I consider the proposal a success at this point, no matter what the eventual outcome. equazcion (talk) 06:28, 18 Sep 2013 (UTC)
