Welcome to my page on Wikipedia.
Editing Philosophy
[edit]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

- 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

Disambiguation link notification for March 31
[edit]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.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Language links
[edit]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)
