Introduction

Hello there! I am a Wikipedian! I've been on this project for around two years (that's how long my account has been active) but didn't really get into editing until maybe a year ago when I realized that Wikipedia is such a valuable and worthy project.

My Username

I was formerly known as User:ESanchez013, but my account was renamed on 30 November 2009. I had a teacher named Mr. Duncan, and he passed away when I was still in high school, so it has some significance to me. I still own the ESanchez013 accounts on all other public Wikimedia projects.

Contributions

A while back, I used to revert vandalism and do lots of things manually. I gave in to using these scripts because, honestly, I got hooked on pressing all those links and when my friends see me edit, and there's lots of cool tabs, extra links, and neat buttons, they are amazed. (I don't know why, but, they are) I may take off some stuff if I get the feel to go back to the old-school way, but I like it for now. Be sure to check out my Monobook to see what I have installed. (You can't change anything there, so I will trust you with that page, vandals. And, of course, the good-faithed editors can copy whatever you'd like from there; just be sure that you know what you're doing, or ask me.)

While I'm not an administrator, I would like to be one someday (I think; I've seen so many people get so mad at the sysops, I sometimes think about the risks) but I haven't really done much other than fix vandalism, nominate pages for speedy deletion or deletion with consensus, as well as warn those who either have vandalized or contributed unnecessary content.

Articles contributed

I have worked only on a few articles while on Wikipedia:

  1. LNESC (was my first, and was deleted as advertising)
  2. First Time Felon (re-created it; someone started it as pure vandalism)
  3. Alfred Horatio Belo
  4. John W. Carpenter
  5. Julius Schepps
  6. John S. Armstrong
  7. Robert B. Cullum
  8. May Dickson Exall (actually made with my alternate account)
  9. Justin Ford Kimball
  10. TRIO (program)

Most of these have something to do with the city in which I live (Dallas).

Benchmarks

Ideology on Vandalism

Described in one word: stupid.

Why vandalize? What's the point? You already know your IP address is recorded here, and WHOIS "knows where you live". Do you want everyone to know that 123.45.67.890 from Citizensville, USA (fake IP address, BTW; don't even think one with that combination is possible) is a real idiot? Get you a billboard and write what you want, not here. (Besides, they get blocked anyway; I don't see the fun in that)

Lessons learned on Wikipedia

I've taken the Wikipediholic test, and I have come to find it's pretty accurate when it comes to real-life. I have gone to web pages and MySpace pages and looked for the edit this page tab at the top! Another thing would be calling people out on policies like, "no, that's not a neutral point of view, don't say/write that."

When I first started editing, I wasn't aware of all the policies, and did things I wasn't really supposed to do, but I have come to know many of the policies and what to do on certain occasions. I guess what Wikipedia has really taught me is that we work together as a community to bring knowledge as Jimbo Wales intended it. Remember:

Jimbo Wales, founder of Wikipedia.

Life outside Wikipedia

A little bit about my life outside Wikipedia: I'm working on my basics in college. I plan to later major in nuclear physics and a minor in mathematics.
