Had to update this part at least. I've been here for a while now (since May '05 I think) and I'm starting to get better at this thing. There are somethings I do dislike about Wikipedia and Wikipedia users though. They are the following:

  • Many of the people who vandalize are IP's. There should be a rule where you have to register to edit an article. I see no argument in favor of keeping IPs editting.
  • People do not often enough put aside their political beliefs in order to make a good accurate article.
  • Often you see articles that are unsourced, that really pisses me off.
  • Some articles are sourced with links to geocities.com, a random blog, extremely partisan sources, etc... These are not good sources and should not be used.
  • Do not make articles just so they can be made and leave them there as stubs.

If your interested in politics you should really check out the link to the Utopia-Politics forum in the relevant links. I post their under the handle "Y2A" and we are happy to welcome any new posters.

What I do on Wikipedia

I devote much of my time on Wikipedia editting Peru-related (and Latin America-related) articles, usually regarding contemporary political issues and history of the country/region. In addition to this you can find me adding to articles about political media publications and broadcasters (many time just adding infoboxes and images of frontpages to magazines, newspapers, academic journals, etc...) and of course New Jersey government articles. I also try to keep my eyes on the look out for POV hawks and quickly revert POV edits. In between these activities I spend some time on afd's removing material not notable enough to be on Wikipedia. I currently have over 4,800 edits on Wikipedia. You can check how many edits you have here.

Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, was the President of Peru and the leader of the Peruanos For el Kambio faction. Being a product of the United States in terms of education and work, Kuczynski ran unsuccessfully in 2011 for the presidency, but later vectored in the 2016 general election in Peru over Keiko Fujimori, daughter of the political patriarch of Fujimorism, Alberto Fujimori. Kuczynski's term began in 2016 and ended in March of 2018 with a corruption scandal that involved Brazilian infrastructure company Odebrecht. He promptly resigned and his Vice president Martin Vizcarra would succeeded him to be the President of Peru.

Michael William Balfe
Michael William Balfe (1808–1870) was an Irish composer, best remembered for his operas. Balfe was born in Dublin and grew up on Pitt Street, which was renamed Balfe Street in 1917 in his honour. After moving to Wexford with his family as a child, he began a career as a violinist, moving to London in 1823 after his father's death, later relocating again to Italy and Switzerland, where he married the Hungarian-born singer Lina Roser. Balfe began pursuing an operatic singing career as well as composition, and moved back to London with his family in 1835. In a career spanning more than 40 years, he composed at least 29 operas, almost 250 songs, several cantatas, and other works. He was also a noted conductor, directing Italian opera at Her Majesty's Italian Opera House for seven years, among other conducting posts. His most notable opera is The Bohemian Girl, which continues to be performed. This photograph of Balfe was taken by the studio of the French photographer Nadar; this albumen print was made in 1900.Photograph credit: Nadar; restored by Adam Cuerden

Quotes

"The charter of this tribunal gives warning for the future, I say, and repeat again, gives warning for the future, to the dictators and tyrants masquerading as a state, that if...they debate the sanctity of man in their own countries, they act at their peril, for they affront the international law of mankind."--Sir Hartley Shawcross, Britain's Chief Prosecutor at Nuremberg, 1945.

"What are the common wages of labour, depends every where upon the contract usually made between those two parties, whose interests are by no means the same. The workmen desire to get as much, the masters to give as little as possible. The former are disposed to combine in order to raise, the latter in order to lower the wages of labour.

It is not, however, difficult to foresee which of the two parties must, upon all ordinary occasions, have the advantage in the dispute, and force the other into a compliance with their terms. The masters, being fewer in number, can combine much more easily; and the law, besides, authorises, or at least does not prohibit their combinations, while it prohibits those of the workmen."-Adam Smith Book I Chapter VII "Wages of Labour" p.67 The Wealth of Nations

"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."--President George W. Bush, 2002

"And you'll ask: why doesn't his poetry
speak of dreams and leaves
and the great volcanoes of his native land?
Come and see the blood in the streets.
Come and see
The blood in the streets.
Come and see the blood
In the streets!"--Pablo Neruda Last lines of "I'm Explaining a Few Things"

"I'm a head of state, I'm a diplomat, I'm not a criminal or a terrorist...I know who is behind this, that Communist Garces."--Augusto Pinochet Upon being arrested in London refering to Joan Garces Chilean-Spanish attorney and former advisor to Salvador Allende.

"Nobody has ever seen Big Brother. He is a face on the hoardings, a voice on the telescreen… Big Brother is the guise in which the Party chooses to exhibit itself to the world. His function is to act as a focusing point for love, fear, and reverence, emotions which are more easily felt towards an individual than towards an organization."-Goldstein's book from George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four

"Now I feel I am able to say what I couldn't then. At the time I called it "the hand of God". Bollocks was it the hand of God, it was the hand of Diego! And it felt a little bit like pickpocketing the English."-Diego Maradona on the Hand of God goal
