Hi, I am a cock. The reason I say this, is simply because I take great pleasure in exerting my "authority" over other contributors, by dismissing their work as fiction when it is actually fact, and by generally deriving a worrying amount of satisfaction from winning mini-victories over vandals by temporarily blocking them. I find it hard to explain my behaviour, but experts suggest it dates back to my youth, and my overbearing parents who denied me the freedom I truly needed in order to develop normal social skills. This unfortunate situation has resulted in stunted personal growth, and I have been reduced to policing wikipedia for signs of wily pranksters in order to combat my ever-increasing inferiority complex. Perhaps one day I will move on from this fixation to greater things, and ultimately make something of my life. Perhaps it is too late. Only time will tell. |

I am a [[Germany|German]] born in [[Hemer]] but now living in [[Aachen]] who has diploma in [[physics]], but who is now working as a programmer, mostly using the [[Delphi programming language]]. Of course [[physics]] is one of my interests, especially [[Particle physics]], [[cosmology]] and [[Astronomy and Astrophysics]]. One field connected with astronomy which fascinates me currently is [[calendar]]. |
|||
Other topics I like are [[Thailand]] (see also [[List_of_Thailand-related_topics|Thailand topics]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Recentchangeslinked&target=List_of_Thailand-related_topics]), [[Spaceflight]] (especially [[Manned_space_missions|manned]]) - but also history, biology, geology, geography, even though I am really amateur in these topics. |
|||
I am showing all signs of a serious case of [[Wikipedia:Wikipediholic|Wikipediholism]]. I guess most of my edits are small edits to fix interwiki links, spelling mistakes, cleanup editing experiments or vandalism. |

As part of the WikiProject [[Wikipedia:WikiProject German districts|German districts]] I created about half of the articles on German districts. But most important are the articles about the districts and cities around my old and new home: |

==How I got mentioned in the [[New York Times]]== |

Tired by the persistent vandalism of the [[George W. Bush]] article prior to election day, especially the sneaking in of "Vote Kerry" messages into the protected article, I wrote on the talk page: ''And hopefully once the elections are over this article won't be the prime vandalism target anymore.'' [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Talk%3AGeorge_W._Bush&diff=7061597&oldid=7059650] I had no hidden meaning of that sentence in mind when I wrote it. This was apparently noticed by a [[New York Times]] editor, who then quoted me in a squib on [[Wikipedia:Avoid weasel terms|weasel talking]]: ''about foreign admins: "One administrator, a German computer programmer, wrote..'' [http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2004-November/035803.html] [http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/10/arts/10wiki.html] (authorization required). Honestly, I didn't intend that sentence to say ''Hopefully after the election [[John Kerry]] will be the prime vandalism target'' - but it fits with my opinion that he'd have been the better choice. How could the NY times guy guess that a German would be no fan of GWB? :) |

Revision as of 21:09, 30 December 2005
Hi, I am a cock. The reason I say this, is simply because I take great pleasure in exerting my "authority" over other contributors, by dismissing their work as fiction when it is actually fact, and by generally deriving a worrying amount of satisfaction from winning mini-victories over vandals by temporarily blocking them. I find it hard to explain my behaviour, but experts suggest it dates back to my youth, and my overbearing parents who denied me the freedom I truly needed in order to develop normal social skills. This unfortunate situation has resulted in stunted personal growth, and I have been reduced to policing wikipedia for signs of wily pranksters in order to combat my ever-increasing inferiority complex. Perhaps one day I will move on from this fixation to greater things, and ultimately make something of my life. Perhaps it is too late. Only time will tell.
