User:Zymyrgy

zymyrgy is the callsign on Wikipedia of a software and aerospace technical writer and software developer with experience in commercial aviation, aerospace, civic engineering, music software production, military and NGO documentation. I also have direct experience in the music industry as a performer, critic, blogger, and performer. Current writing includes restaurant review blogging, recipe blogging, current events and political critiques, and count three novels and 45 short stories published to my name.

I am trained as a technical journalist and scientific journal writer with extensive research experience in water and electric utilities, political advertising and political economics. I am also a contributor to the Other Wiki (tvtropes.org) and serve as moderator of two forums specializing in General Nerditry (yes, that is the tagline) as well as First Amendment and Second Amendment rights.

I have strong convictions regarding verifiable first-source quotation or data, noting that many wiki entries are deleted less because of their "newness" and more because of the individuals writing about them, and often write "rescue" paragraphs for wiki entries that collate non-primary sources to validate the wiki entry.

I am also strongly opposed to any editorial bias, intended or unintended in an article and review most articles to suggest edits to both remove bias and/or annote the bias to be ascribed via direct quotation or link. Cross-linked articles that do not directly note proof of the assertion are marked for bias and or recommended for edit. I prefer to adhere to the Wikipedia entry that content must be verifiable.

In some cases I will advocate for the deletion of content or the verification of content that either conflicts or derives its validity from the fact of its conflict with another individual, group, or organization. In many cases before advocating for separation, notability of the source will be first required, as well as validity on a larger scale. If a community of one million people know about the subject source, or have likely access or cause to know about it, then it should be included. If it does not fit that notability, then it is not notable, and I will recommend its deletion.
