===Issues===
Inconsistent or erroneous formatting causes me physical pain. In particular, the following are evil:
* Excessive capitalization, for example "<nowiki>==External Links==</nowiki>" or "... in <nowiki>]</nowiki>".
* Contractions (''it's'' instead of ''it is''). When ungrammatical (''it's'' instead of ''its''), these hurt doubly.
* "You". I don't like when the encyclopedia is talking to me, especially not when it's telling me to do something.
* Incorrectly nested headings.

Other common problems:
* Redundancy. Like source code, articles should be as succinct as possible.
* Self-references ("see the Misplaced Pages article on <nowiki>]</nowiki>").

Misplaced Pages activities

I've been a registered user on Misplaced Pages since October 2003 and an admin since July 2004. I mostly waste time with trivial activities like copyediting (due to which my contributions list is over 15000 edits long), but occasionally get around to write and expand articles. See my graph of editing activity and my list of substantial contributions.

Statement of ignorance and tastelessness

I am an atheist and would consider myself politically left liberal. Random things I like include the Doom (I started The Doom Wiki), Metroid and Mario series of games, music by Bach (Glenn Gould), Koji Kondo, Neil Young and Chick Corea, and the programming languages Python, Scheme and Haskell.
