Welcome to my page on Wikipedia.

Editing Philosophy

Most of the pages I've created and edits I've made on Wikipedia relate to one of these two principal interests:

• Too many US politicians are hypocritical liars. (I'm not affiliated with any individual campaign, and it's not my belief that politicians in any other countries are better or worse)
• Wikipedia has been a great resource for me as a hobbyist game inventor (see my user page for games I've invented). However, I'm not affiliated with the companies whose articles I've edited, I just want Wikipedia to be the best possible resource for other game inventors or game enthusiasts.

I tend to disagree with any judgment that a topic is too insignificant to include on Wikipedia: Wikipedia's strength is that it has huge amounts of space, and I assert that Wikipedia benefits from having articles on as diverse an array of topics as possible.

Partial List of Pages I've Created or Substantially Edited

• List of game manufacturers
• Midterm election
• Pressman Toy Corporation
• Every member of the US House of Representatives and US Senate now has a link on their page to a Washington-Post listing of their voting record
• Front Montgomery

Disambiguation link notification for March 31

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Postformal thought, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Piaget (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Language links

Wikipedia is never a reference and that includes cross-language. I have seen tags put on the talk page that indicate it is a translation but I can't find it at the moment but the best way is to add a language link - near the bottom of the left hand column of your article. What you need is some proper references in the English article. Without them your article is in danger no matter where it exists elsewhere. Do you see the language link I mentioned.Peter Rehse (talk) 19:06, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
