My Work

Hello there. My home wiki is the English Wikivoyage, but I'm also active on Wikimedia Commons and the English Wikibooks. I also sporadically edit the English Wikipedia and the French Wikivoyage. I occasionally edit a few other projects and do some x-wiki patrolling. I'm a mesomedian on all the projects in question, except the English Wikibooks where I only do administrative tasks. You can contact me via my talk page or email (for autoconfirmed users). I don't usually use IRC; I find it too dated.

About Me

I do many things, but I'm generally passionate about travel, specifically nature. I find myself working on such topics when working on content topics (and am proud to have created over 10 per cent of the English Wikivoyage's park articles and 1 per cent of the wiki's total articles). Otherwise, I usually clean up content and revert vandalism, spam and other vandal gobbledegook. I hold the following permissions, and thank their relevant communities for entrusting me with their tools:

sysop and bureaucrat on the English Wikivoyage.
patroller, rollbacker and file mover on Wikimedia Commons.
sysop and reviewer on the English Wikibooks.
rollbacker on the English Wikipedia.
sysop on Meta-Wiki.
patroller on the French Wikivoyage.
rollbacker on Wikidata.

Personal thoughts and opinions

I don't exactly agree with not mentioning the usernames of LTAs, nor do I agree with completely avoiding discussions on what to do with them – it makes things needlessly complicated.
Abuse filters should not be a place to have admins-only discussions. If this does happen, I will not participate in it.
Logs should rarely be revision deleted. Admins should be held accountable for their actions; revision deleting logs will create a system open to abuse.
Copying content word-for-word from one project to another should generally be avoided. It hampers a wiki's potential to grow due to a SEO penalty.
A wiki that doesn't accept standard globally-accepted norms cannot expect to significantly grow without pissing off its editors.
No gratitude should be given to serial copyright violators. I'm all for a "one warning, then you're out" policy for copyright violators (outside Commons). If someone has been given a harshly worded warning for copyright violations and then still does it again, then why should we trust them to not make another one yet?
Block evasion shouldn't be allowed – no excuses whatever. Period.
- I'm all for using Wikipedia's duck test to identify IP sockpuppets as CUs cannot publically connect IPs with accounts. Maybe this wouldn't be an issue had the WMF never allowed anons to edit.
Hat collectors and single-purpose accounts often don't have the intention to genuinely improve Wikimedia.
Policy pages in English should try to use gender-neutral pronouns like they/them/their. Many people don't want to identify themselves using gender-specific pronouns.
I'm all for requesting comments on high-profile pages, but if you are going to do that, don't make it sound like canvassing, or worse yet, canvass.
Minor, simple issues can be resolved without the need to request comments on a high-profile page.
Don't make edits that have the potential to break links or files if you're on a lousy Wi-Fi network.
Keeping templates to a minimum will always fail. I wrote an essay about this on en:voy:User:SHB2000/Why keeping templates to a minimum will fail, and although it is a bit English Wikivoyage-specific, it does apply to most WMF projects.
Admins should not be allowed to furtively get away with misusing their tools. Unfortunately, on smaller WMF projects, the lack of oversight means this is very common.
Never think about using Wikitravel. It's the inferior, for-profit, out-of-date predecessor version of Wikivoyage (edit: hi Internet Brands). See en:voy:Wikivoyage:Wikivoyage and Wikitravel for some context.
Using bright yellow text does nothing more than hurt my eyes. Unless it's being used with a black background, for the love of those with visual impairments (myself included), don't use yellow text.
If you're an admin and semi-protect your talk page indefinitely, you need to have at least one way for anons to contact you. Otherwise, it is an attempt to cut off communication.
