Matchups

Joined 4 December 2005

I use Matchups as a username all over the place, including my domain www.matchups.com which I later sold. The original source was a Scrabble newsletter I edited, which was an ironic comment on "matchups" not being in the official dictionary.

My main interest (from the Wiki point of view at least) is games, and bridge in particular, though I spend most of my time these days being a wikignome.

As of October 2013, I have 4234live edits. Though most are small, nearly all have edit summaries.

Wikiphilosophy

edit

I consider myself an encyclopedist, similar to what WP would classify as a Delusionist. In general, if there is information for which members of the general public would tend to go to an encyclopedia, it should be in WP. If it is information which one would expect to find in a telephone directory, almanac, yearbook, annual report, or other specialized reference, or if it is not of interest to the general public, then it should not be here.

Although I would love to do more substantial contributing, and perhaps be an admin someday, parenthood currently limits me mostly to wikignome activities.

Silly season

edit

For some reason, no-hitters seem to bring out the silliness in people. Please check out this edit to Brandon Morrow, together with the few that followed it, and this no-hitter–related AFD.

Friends

edit

There are (or should be) Wikipedia articles on several friends and acquaintances of mine. Not to drop names, but just so you know where my biases may lie:

There has also been an article titled Alan Frank twice; deleted once due to copyright infringement; the second time it was a dumb redirect about me and deleted on my proposal.
