Drafts
About how I edit
I edit differently depending on what type of edits I am making.
- If I am editing a new page (Current event), I will be getting facts put down in the article and I might ignore formatting. (OCD people hate that part about me)
- If I am joining in a discussion, I will be using logic to edit.
- If I am creating a new article/draft (Not a current event), I use templates from related articles to help guide my thinking process.
Third Person about me
- "Elijahandskip" is a freshman in college. "Elijahandskip" is a pen nam. The user "Elijahandskip" is studying to become a meteorologist. "Elijahandskip" the current lead coordinator of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Current events. He is also a member of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Twenty-Tens decade, Wikipedia:WikiProject Severe weather & the Wikipedia:WikiProject Non-tropical storms. For anyone thinking "Elijahandskip" is 2 people, aka "Elijah" and "skip" they would be wrong as it is 1 user.
My recent Edits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Elijahandskip
This I have learned in college
Just to show what is being taught to people in today's US colleges. And yes, sadly, this is what I have been taught in my first semester in college.
- The term "Freshman" is a sexist term as it implies that everyone being talked about is a man. The term "First-Year Student" should be used in place of it.
- The term "Junior" for education is a discriminatory term as it assumes everyone being talked about is under the age of 18. The term "Third-Year Student" should be used in place of it.
- The term "Senior" for education is a discriminatory term as it assumes everyone being talked about has retired. The term "Fourth-Year Student" should be used in place of it.
- The term "Super Senior for education is discriminatory as you assume the person you are talking about has failed a class and was held back in college/high school for a 5th year. The term "Super Fourth-Year Student" should be used in place of it.
- The title "Mrs." should not be used to address a married women as it is discriminatory against non-married women. You should address all women by either "Ms." or by a title earned with a degree like PhD or Dr.
This user jokingly wants to start a movement in the name of his college to rewrite Wikipedia per the terms defined above, though that is a joke as this user believes the statements above are stupid.

Precedents set by Afc/Afd/Rfc/Move Requests/Other discussions
Since I believe a discussion sets a 'precedent' on Wikipedia, I record those precedents here and might use them in discussions.
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Virar hospital fire - Hospital fires with double digit death toll (Supported by at least WP:THREE - not directly mentioned, but idea is there) means it is notable and ok for Wiki article.
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rambouillet knife attack - Terrorist attacks (once labeled that) no matter the death toll (This had 1 death + terrorist)
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Onești attack - Being 'famous'/'highly covered' in a single country does not mean notability is established, even if there is multiple RS from the country. (Very notable and highly covered stabbing in Romania, but no international sources. Consensus was delete per WP:NOTNEWS, even though it was notable for 1 country.
- Discussion with Cullen328 - Wikipedia Admin = All T-Ban violations count as disruptive editing on Wikipedia, regardless of whether those edits remain months after being added and regardless their benefit to Wikipedia. (September 2, 2021 - In Appeal of 6 month t-ban extension)
- User talk:Rosguill/Archive 25#Question from Elijahandskip - Discussion with Rosguill, an admin, confirming my t-ban is "a content-level, not a page level" block. Hence why I can edit Hurricane Sandy and not Joe Biden's article.
- Talk:Collierville Kroger shooting#Requested move 26 September 2021 - If multiple RS mention an attack in relation to a specific company name, the company name is added to the articles title.
- Wikipedia talk:Reliable sources/Perennial sources#CNN not reliable for UK News OR David Amess News - If an RS publishes wrong information about a subject, but corrects it, they can still be considered reliable for the subject.
- Multiple Discussions over the years - Editors do not care how many “good” edits you do. 1 bad edit is all they will care about.
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gary Freedman (2nd nomination) - Being the "First" to do something domestically has no notability grounds. (First person to fly an electric plane across Cook Strait + longest electric flight over water. = Flight & Pilot are not notable, together or separate.)
- [2] - Attempted assassinations, meaning the person survived, is never added to ITN.
