| message = There is an ongoing discussion to '''siteban''' me for no less than a year as I write this. I anticipate it will pass and if so, I will be forced by the community to not edit for ''at a minimum'' one year, possibly indefinitely. I am voluntarily stopping editing during the conversation and will not edit for a period of ''at least 24&nbsp;months'', regardless of the outcome. Any editors wishing to know more are encouraged to look at the conversation to understand what was inappropriate about my conversations, judgement, interactions, etc. I will be gone from this site for a long term and possibly for good, pending the community's assessment of how disruptive I have been and if I can be a productive member.

This is '''not''' a standard wikibreak due to external, personal, or other factors: it is a ban and a additionally a break where I will take time to engage productively elsewhere and learn more about ] strategies. I plan to edit other WMF wikis and be a constructive member there if anyone needs to reach me. If you reach out, I cannot be involved in any editing by proxy, discussion of issues, or other internal matters to the English Misplaced Pages and will not engage in them on-wiki or off-wiki. The community's decision is justified, reasonable, and the outcome of my choices. I accept it and am responsible for the issues.

If the community allows me to reengage here, then I look forward to editing in a constructive manner. If not, then the time here has been good and I hope that the useful edits I have made have outweighed the disruptive actions. My sincere thanks to all those who have collaborated with me and sorry to those who have been negatively impacted by my actions. Be well and be good.

I am ''']''' (''koavf''), a Wikipedian from ], ], ]. I'm a life-long ], and attended ]; upon graduating, I worked there as a tutor and teachers' assistant for two years. I joined ] on 2005-03-06, after anonymously editing for months. I worked for ] at ] for several years, where I earned degrees in ] and ].


For visibility, I was a ] for several courses for several years and the account ] was made by me. I do not edit from it. I do not have any other alternate accounts on Wikimedia Foundation projects and do not consciously edit from IPs. I have done some digging to find all of my previous IP edits and noted them below.

===What else?===
Needless to say, the things most interesting to me about my life probably won't be that interesting to you. You may see from ]. Other wikis on which I might work (but probably not much) include ], ], ], ], ], ], ] (), ], ], ], ], ], ] (specifically, ] and ] wikis where I am an ] or ] and ]), ], ], and ]/]. I'm also an admin on the non-Wikimedia Foundation travel wiki.

Feel free to ] if there's something that you desperately need to tell or ask me; that's the best way to get in contact with me.

''']''' (, , , , , ); I'm a ]—as far as I'm aware, I'm the first person to have a million edits to a single wiki. I think that Misplaced Pages is one of the few Internet communities worth joining, and the ] to editing is its strongest feature. I generally edit articles concerned with ], ], ], or ], and I particularly try to represent the interests of ] and the ]s of ] (]). To that end, I created the ''']''', ''']''', ''']''', and the ''']'''. Every now and again, I'll ], categorize pages, move misnamed articles, ], or click on the ] and do what I can.

In terms of my English editing preferences, I am an American from the Midwest and I try to have proper (American) grammar. As you can see from my userboxes, I use single spacing between sentences, I do not use singular they or gender neutral pronouns of any stripe (although I will sometimes just try to avoid it altogether; otherwise, I will universally use "he"), etc. That having been said, I read a lot of British media, so I use some British constructions in my everyday speech and editing (e.g. "R.E.M. '''are''' an alternative rock band.") I also use ISO dates and "]" as the plural for "]" (rather than "].") If you notice me being inconsistent in my English usage, please let me know, as it's a concern of mine.

In terms of my editing strengths, I think that I am generally good at things like adding categories, media, references, and templates; copyediting and formatting; suggesting structures to articles or adding links; and sometimes at adding prose. That is my weakest area by far—the actual content of the text—and the part that I struggle with the most when attempting to get articles to ] or ] status. I am pretty clueless about how to structure several kinds of articles which are popular on Misplaced Pages: many related to sciences, military history, biographies, or transportation. I have a pretty good idea of how to write an article on albums and some other pop culture topics, some topics in philosophy and social sciences, and some list articles.


I have been a ] for several courses for several years. After about two years of having potential clients ask me to write Misplaced Pages articles for them and me always declining, I worked to create the article on ]. Everyone with whom I worked was patient and gracious and took plenty of time to try to understand Misplaced Pages's norms about promotion, paid editing, disclosure, terms of service, etc. I do not advertise my services editing Misplaced Pages but I am willing to accept payment for editing in the future if other clients are willing to abide by the terms of service of the site. Note that I '''cannot''' edit for pay without disclosure. I have been approached off-wiki to work on the following articles and actually made some edit (not all had money or any kind of remuneration offered): After about two years of having potential clients ask me to write Misplaced Pages articles for them and me always declining, I worked to create the article on ].

Please note that I am unwilling to do paid editing but I have in the past; it's honestly too much of a headache. I am happy to give advice and consult for free and if you need some serious writing work done, it will require me to disclose that work as well as change my user rights status here. My preference is to help ''you'' figure out how we can work ''together'' to make the encyclopedia stronger.

My entire ] is based on the assertion that ] ], and ] ]ity in ]. I'm radically liberal politically and religiously, but conservative and prudish in my personal temperament.

Since this is the case, all ]s are the things in the ] ], and have immeasurable ] and ]. This dignity is expressed in ]s, the primary of which is the ].

Since humans do nothing to merit personhood, there is also nothing they can do to lose it; their rights are ]. Even if we have disagreements with others, we must respect their moral and rational ].

Some of the ] that persons have are ], and the primary purpose of the ] is to allow ] among its citizenry. Domestically, this is accomplished by creating genuine ] in a stable ]. In ], this is best accomplished by ]ful cooperation, sometimes fostered by ]. ]s must provide for the entire well-being of the ]—including ], ], safety, and, above all, the ]. The ] and affluence of some states is only the case because of a reciprocal relationship with other states (sometimes, this relationship is ].) Consequently, it is imperative to ] to help them develop themselves and to show appreciation for their worth as persons. Ideally, humans ] and should accomplish all means of the state through ] and ] create partnerships to achieve mutually-beneficial goals.

In terms of interpersonal relations, persons should ], never treating them as a means only, and always as an end. ] is always wrong. All persons have an ] understanding of good and ], a ]. This conscience is not ], though, and must be ] by ]. ], ], and ] are a few of the virtues that all persons should acquire, and since they can only be acquired by habit, we must practice care for the ] and fellow ]; not because they deserve ], but because we can better respect other humans if we demonstrate respect to other creatures. A truly compassionate life develops ].

This respect is also a moral imperative, since by demonstrating ] toward God's creations, we demonstrate love to God also. God has ] at various times to guide the course of human affairs, but is more likely to act ] on an ].

Ultimately, there are several ] that contain some truth, but not all of them share it in equal measure. A philosophy can only be ultimately useful if it is ], that is, it takes into account all of the kinds of ]s that persons have. Humans are made up of several overlapping dimensions, none of which is most important or real, and all of which are dependent on the others for their fullest expression: the ]ual, ], ]al, ], and ]. Our spiritual life is constituted by our relationship to God, beliefs about other persons, ]s toward others, priorities and affections, and love. The mental component of our lives includes ], ], ], ]al reasoning, ], and ]al will. We have a wide range of emotions: ], ], ], and more. None of them is invalid, and all of them should be exercised at some time. Our ] are our most important possessions, and we should take care that they operate in the best condition; if our body is lazy, our mind will be likewise. We are not identical to our bodies, but are embodied creatures and there is nothing inherently wrong with this; it is a part of the created order. Lastly, humans are social creatures, and in creating ]s with others, we learn invaluable truths about ourselves and the world around us.

We are all ]s, though, and the search for truth is rich because of reciprocity between persons—so feel free to ]. Above all else: ], beware false prophets, and ].

There is an ongoing discussion to siteban me for no less than a year as I write this. I anticipate it will pass and if so, I will be forced by the community to not edit for at a minimum one year, possibly indefinitely. I am voluntarily stopping editing during the conversation and will not edit for a period of at least 24 months, regardless of the outcome. Any editors wishing to know more are encouraged to look at the conversation to understand what was inappropriate about my conversations, judgement, interactions, etc. I will be gone from this site for a long term and possibly for good, pending the community's assessment of how disruptive I have been and if I can be a productive member.

This is not a standard wikibreak due to external, personal, or other factors: it is a ban and a additionally a break where I will take time to engage productively elsewhere and learn more about non-violent communication strategies. I plan to edit other WMF wikis and be a constructive member there if anyone needs to reach me. If you reach out, I cannot be involved in any editing by proxy, discussion of issues, or other internal matters to the English Misplaced Pages and will not engage in them on-wiki or off-wiki. The community's decision is justified, reasonable, and the outcome of my choices. I accept it and am responsible for the issues.

If the community allows me to reengage here, then I look forward to editing in a constructive manner. If not, then the time here has been good and I hope that the useful edits I have made have outweighed the disruptive actions. My sincere thanks to all those who have collaborated with me and sorry to those who have been negatively impacted by my actions. Be well and be good.

I'm nobody special.

For visibility, I was a Campus and Online Ambassador for several courses for several years and the account User:Example2011 was made by me. I do not edit from it. I do not have any other alternate accounts on Wikimedia Foundation projects and do not consciously edit from IPs. I have done some digging to find all of my previous IP edits and noted them below.

After about two years of having potential clients ask me to write Misplaced Pages articles for them and me always declining, I worked to create the article on Bob's Watches. Everyone with whom I worked was patient and gracious and took plenty of time to try to understand Misplaced Pages's norms about promotion, paid editing, disclosure, terms of service, etc. I do not advertise my services editing Misplaced Pages and I am not willing to accept payment of any kind for editing in the future, even if other clients are willing to abide by the terms of service of the site. Note that I cannot edit for pay without disclosure and the two instances where I was paid were explicitly noted. I have been approached off-wiki to work on the following articles and actually made some edit (not all had money or any kind of remuneration offered):

In terms of other possible conflicts of interest, I have some personal association with articles on:

Please note that I am unwilling to do paid editing but I have in the past; it's honestly too much of a headache. I am happy to give advice and consult for free and if you need some serious writing work done, it will require me to disclose that work as well as change my user rights status here. My preference is to help you figure out how we can work together to make the encyclopedia stronger.
