Hi, I'm Kurt Weber, wikipedian-sort of and denizen of #wikipedia on Freenode (irc.freenode.net).

I am a resident of Princeton, Indiana (actually a few miles outside of it).

I am a radical ardent Libertarian Individualist Objectivist extremist, and seek nothing short of the entire destruction of socialism and collectivism in my lifetime. Paradoxically, then, some of my favorite writers happen to be self-described socialists such as George Orwell and (fellow Hoosier/fellow Kurt) Kurt Vonnegut, although my appreciation of the latter has waned as I have realized that his stories have no plot whatsoever.

My favorite writers, though, are (in order):

I was for some time a member of Southwind Drum & Bugle Corps of Lexington, KY; however, I was beset by medical problems that ended my season after just five weeks.

I am also a Member Advocate.

My home page

Other sections of my user page:

As of 21:07 CST 25 December 2005, this page has been vandalized 1 time.

Wikipolitics

I am an extreme inclusionist. Only articles that support a small subset of speedy criteria should be deleted:

Nonsense
Pure slander

My attitude towards policies is that one should make decisions and act based on what policy should be, not what it currently is. Policy as it currently stands is generally wrong, and decisions based on it are sure to result in the loss of a lot of content that does indeed belong. The major point of contention that I run into over this is notability--the correct standard of notability is "The subject exists." As long as it exists, it is notable enough to deserve an article, popular opinion and consensus policy to the contrary notwithstanding.

As an Objectivist, I realize that copyright is not simply a legal or utilitarian construct but an objective moral principle, and thus all individuals are obligated to abide by it totally and absolutely. Thus, I oppose all so-called (but misnamed) "fair use" images and aggressively pursue copyvios. This is not a contradiction with my radical extremist inclusionism, as inclusionism is concerned with what subjects are worthy for articles, not the particular content of those articles.

My Drive to Eliminate Deletionist Vandalism

The following articles that I have listed on Wikipedia:Votes for Undeletion have been undeleted or re-created without subsequent deletion:

Battle of Yungay - even some more deletionist Wikipedians knew that this shouldn't have been deleted; the original was written in very poor English by an anon with no knowledge of wikisyntax. An admin came along and speedied it as nonsense just as I was listing it on cleanup, so I put it on VfU. The original contributor eventually went and re-created it, and as no one has voiced the idea that it deserves to be deleted, it's still up. (23 September 2003)

Cranks

I am the creator of Template:Crank, which looks like this:

This article concerns a topic which is deemed by the overwhelming majority of experts in its concerned field to be absolutely absurd or total nonsense

I created this a few weeks after someone (probably only half-jokingly) suggested it in #wikipedia; however, it has usefulness. Use it where needed, but be prepared to back it up.

Quotes and Observations

"The difference between myself and socialists is that I want freedom for everyone, whereas socialists only want freedom for those who don't have something they want (and EVERYBODY has something a socialist wants)."

"A field of study can be safely considered complex when it starts using Hebrew letters for symbols."

"Given a sufficiently strong spring, any Maglite battery compartment cover is impossible to close."

"The most amazing thing in the world is how the company that makes Maglites manages to stay in business. The most any person would need at any one time is three--one for the house, one for the car, and one kept with all his camping gear. And those three will last forever, and will likely wind up being passed on to the grandchildren, who will pass them on to their grandchildren, ad infinitum. So where are all these new sales coming from?"

"Revolution becomes necessary, or at least justified, when government seeks to deny its citizens the means of planning or carrying out a revolution."

"People who think porn degrades women obviously haven't heard of feminism."

"Welfare recipients are the new feudal lords--they are the unproductive living off the productive by holding them at gunpoint."

"Anyone who argues against something on the grounds that it will help 'the big companies' can be safely ignored--not because of the idea itself, but because he used the phrase 'the big companies'."

"Leonard Peikoff is such a secondhander..."
