stress">Image:Wikistress3D 4 v3.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Current stress *Phroziac lives in Michigan and lives with his anal-retentive parents, who cause 99% of all stress, therefore he is almost always pissed off. *I am interested in computing, off-roading, radio control, gaming, retro gaming, and other stuff. *I participate in the following Wikipedia projects *I am a member of m:AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTD **Stub sorting **Cleanup taskforce (User:Phroziac/desk) **Project Punctuation I use IRC, and can be found under this nickname on Freenode, EFNet, AustNET, and IdleZone. I'm also an AIM and Yahoo Messenger as Phroziac. Phroziac has been tagged as a redneck. ==Personal policies== Besides WP:TRI, I have a few personal Wikipedia policies I follow. These are my own and I don't expect anyone else to use them, although it would be nice as I think they're a good idea. ===Primary & secondary school articles=== Primary and secondary schools which have achieved national or regional fame for any significant reason (e.g. former school of famous individual, site of newsworthy event, etc.) deserve their own articles. School articles which, on their face, fail to reach this bar should be merged (with retained redirect) into community articles (e.g. village, town, city, school district, township, county, etc.). (A subarticle may be used if the community article would be made too large otherwise, titled, e.g. "Schools of Broward County, Florida" or "High schools of Louisville, Kentucky"). Those articles which are so deficient that they not only do not meet the above criterion, but for which it is impossible to determine a community to merge them with, may be deleted. ===Bands=== I hereby define a "notable musical group" as any group of performing musicians who (a) has published music reaching a significant audience (regional or larger), (b) has made a public performance before an noncaptive audience of at least 1,000 (school assembly performances do not count; neither do performances at athletic events unless televised outside the local viewing area of the performance), (c) has appeared on television (other than public access cable), (d) has won a contest or other award of a nontrivial nature, (e) is generally regarded as having pioneered or otherwise advanced a major genre of music, or (f) includes performers (or, in rare cases, composers) who are or were members of a different group meeting one or more of the foregoing criteria or who are otherwise famous (e.g. Keanu Reeves' band Dogstar). I will support deleting any article about a musical performing group where the article does not set forth how the group is notable by the above criteria. ===Section blanking=== I am likely to interpret any edit (especially from an IP) that does not have an edit summary which removes an entire section (or more) of an article as revertible. My good faith doesn't go that far, I'm afraid. If you really intend to remove an entire section of an article, ''include an edit summary''. You should be including edit summaries anyway, so this isn't really that onerous. I don't know if people do this by mistake or on purpose, but I think that large tracts of text should not be removed from Wikipedia without some sort of an explanation. Even "See talk page" is good enough for me. ===Use of admin powers=== Use talk pages. Block sparingly. Don't block without warning unless the situation really requires it. Use rollback for true vandalism only (e.g. blanking, spam, and nonsense). Don't use admin rights on articles you edit for content. Don't use admin rights against people you disagree with. Don't use admin rights in disputes that you are mediating, either. ==Awards== -- This is my user page. I like to keep it a certain way. But, the thing is, I trust you. I trust that you'll add something here that makes me smile, that informs me, or that helps to inform others. If I have things in a certain format, I trust that you'll respect that format. Actually, scratch that. Since this page is so simple and ugly, my ultimate dream is that some person who thinks it is fun will come along and make it look as perfect as User:Angela's user page. See that link up there: 'edit this page'? Go for it. It's a wiki wiki wiki world! --User:Phroziac 02:36, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
