Revision as of 01:55, 30 July 2006

I recognize that this user page belongs to the Wikipedia project and not to me personally. As such, I recognize that I am expected to respectfully abide by community standards as to the presentation and content of this page, and that if I do not like these guidelines, I am welcome either to engage in reasonable discussion about it, to publish my material elsewhere, or to leave the project.

Hi! My real name is Larry Pieniazek and I am probably not notable. I like LEGO(r) Brand building elements.

I am an English Wikipedia administrator. Let me know if you have any questions or issues, and I'll do what I can to help.

Outside interests

Avocations

  • I'm a LEGO community activist, I guess you could say, getting involved in lots of LEGO related projects... some might say more to the detriment of the project than the benefit! Lately I've been involved in BrickWiki a MediaWiki based wiki concerned with LEGO, LEGO fans, and LEGO creations. My personal website is Milton Train Works. (yes I realise that the WP:MoS says LEGO isn't to be written in all caps. I'll do my articles that way, but this is my user page!!! Deal!)
  • I'm a gamer. Board games, computer games, fusball.
  • I like trains. Real ones, and models (especially LEGO ones)
  • I like cars. At one time we had 8 in our family but we're doing better now.
  • I like planes. Always wanted to get a license, don't have one, but am always willing to spring for gas or rental if you'll take me up in yours.
  • I like music. Especially live music. All kinds but especially blues, rock, classical, and things that mix one or more of those together.

Vocation

Professionally I am a System architect, working on data and application integration projects and I travel for work a lot (most of the states and countries below are due to work related travel). I live in Michigan with a wife, 2 kids, 0-2 exchange students depending on season, 4 cats, 1 dog, 3 cars and a horse that doesn't live with us.

Beliefs

I believe in WP:NPOV so these beliefs are listed so you know how I feel about stuff and (VERY IMPORTANT) you should call me on any editing that looks like I'm POV pushing!!!! Seriously. Please do if you see it. Mostly I edit technical stuff so hopefully it's not that big an issue, but if you see it, call me on it.

  • Politically I'm a libertarian, or a freedom advocate. I come out in the far upper right on the Nolan Chart almost to anarchy. I don't think government is good socially for much of anything except protecting our individual liberties. I've belonged to the ACLU on and off for years.
  • Economically I'm a libertarian too, or a free market capitalist if you prefer. I don't think goverment is good economically for much of anything except protecting people from fraud and theft and suchlike.
  • I'm pro choice on *everything*. Legalise everything and expect people to do the right thing, or suffer the consequences.
  • I'm an atheist, or at best a very skeptical agnostic. Personally I think religions as a whole have done more harm than good, overall, to society since we've been civilised. I oppose any sort of state imposition of a particular religion, but if you want to have one, by all means, be my guest. Just don't impose your views on me and mine.

Wikipedia

The Signpost
24 December 2024

I'm a Wikipedia novice apprentice journeyman administrator, with only a few a few hundred less than just over two three four five thousand edits to my credit, mostly typos I spotted and WP related advocacy in Wikiproject space, but I have created a few articles here and there. I think Wikipedia is great but it can take up a LOT of time so I've held back. (ha!)

  • I am an inclusionist but not enough to join an association.
  • User:Karmafist identified me as a metawikipedian. He's probably right.
  • I may (see above) have a bit of editcountitis (d'ya think??).
  • When I get too proud of my edits, I need to go look at WP:1000
  • When I get too proud of my adminship, I need to remember that not everyone looks favorably on my actions here, or in my previous community activities: 1 and 2... (don't discount that user just because they chose to speak anonymously)

Some comments:

  • Feel free to mail me with comments or concerns, my mail link should work.
  • One annoying habit I have, I forget to hit preview before save, or preview, but miss some typo causing multiple edits. I hate that!
  • If you need access to a Wikipedia article that has been deleted, ask me. If it's not a copyright violation, libel, or personal information, and has not been deleted as a suspected biographies of living persons violation, I will userfy the article for you.

Note that using the text to recreate any deleted article may automatically qualify them for speedy deletion, and copies of previously deleted content that are being used solely for long-term archival purposes may be subject to deletion because Wikipedia is not a free web host. We have a list of alternative sites which may be used to host your content.


Other projects... I have the ID "Lar" on many other places. Among them:

  • Commons
  • Meta
  • BrickWiki
  • Yellowiki
  • UnCyclopedia
  • Encyclopedia Dramatica (this id has been set up but the password discarded, to prevent impersonation)

Projects

Maybe too many projects to do right by any?

Awards and trinkets people left me

Thanks everyone...

Bragging about various things

This is probably too long... I do go on at length when bragging...
Guides, tools and essays

Cool stuff

THIS

IS AN
ENCYCLOPEDIA

One gateway to the wide garden
of knowledge, where lies
The deep rock of our past,
in which we must delve
the well of our future,
The clear water we must leave untainted
for those who come after us,
The fertile earth, in which
truth may grow in bright places,
tended by many hands,
And the broad fall of sunshine,
warming our first steps toward knowing
how much we do not know.

Holger Drachmann
Holger Drachmann (1846–1908) was a Danish poet, dramatist and painter. He was a member of the Skagen artistic colony and became a figure of the Scandinavian Modern Breakthrough Movement. Born in Copenhagen, he studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, going on to achieve fame for his painting of seascapes and ships in storms. He began writing poetry in 1872; his most famous work is the 1877 collection of poems Sange ved Havet (Songs of the Sea). This portrait photograph of Drachmann was taken in 1908.Photograph credit: unknown; restored by Adam Cuerden

How to improve Wikipedia's reliability

Since anyone can edit almost any Wikipedia article, it is possible for biased, out of date, or incorrect information to be added to Wikipedia. To improve Wikipedia's reliability, fix these problems by doing the following:

  1. As often as you can, monitor and check changes made to articles. Your Watchlist, and the Related changes and Recent changes features are useful for this.
  2. Clean up vandalism and report vandals to Administrator intervention against vandalism (WP:AIV). Many vandalism clean-up tools are available to assist you.
  3. Fix mistakes:
  4. For dubious statements that are not sourced or are likely to be challenged, hunt for references that are reliable, relevant, accurate, objective, and timely. Add citations for these to the article.
  5. Read the references provided by articles and check them for reliability, relevance, accuracy, objectivity, and timeliness. That is, read the source material cited, and remove irrelevant or unreliable citations.
