From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Who am I? I'm a Gothic Libertarian Pagan philosopher from California.

I'm not a major editor of Wikipedia, but am instead a bit player. I know a little bit about this and that and make contributions when I can.

Picture of the Day[edit]

Rock Springs massacre
The Rock Springs massacre occurred in 1885 in the present-day United States city of Rock Springs, Wyoming. The riot, and resulting massacre of immigrant Chinese miners by white immigrant miners, was the result of racial prejudice toward the Chinese miners, who were perceived to be taking jobs from the white miners. The Union Pacific Coal Department found it economically beneficial to give preference in hiring to Chinese miners, who were willing to work for lower wages than their white counterparts, angering the white miners. When the rioting ended, at least 28 Chinese miners were dead and 15 were injured. Rioters burned 78 Chinese homes, resulting in approximately $150,000 in property damage (equal to $5.09 million in 2020 terms). The massacre in Rock Springs touched off a wave of anti-Chinese violence, especially in the Puget Sound area of Washington Territory.Artwork credit: Thure de Thulstrup; restored by Adam Cuerden

Politics[edit]

I participate in the Political Spectrum article from time to time, mostly in the Alternate Spectra section.

I also participate in articles about Libertarianism when I can.

Comics[edit]

Having been a fan for years, I try to add what I can to the Comics pages. I was the one who first inserted the idea in The Joker that his insanity might be a Super Power.

Special Projects[edit]

Once a week I review the articles for deletion votes and chime in.

I also look at New Pages, New Images, and especially Recent Changes occasionally because that is where most problems occur.

I'm not a member of any special projects team though.

Religious Imposters[edit]

I'm working on impostors Mike Warnke, Laurel Rose Willson, John Todd (occultist), Hershel Smith, Rebecca Brown (Christian author), and William Schnoebelen to link them to the category Impostors as a step to possibly create a Relgious Impostors category. If you know of more frauds like these, let me know.
