User:A lad insane


 * Were you looking for User:Aladdin Sane? (There's no relation, just a similar taste in music apparently). 

This user prefers when spoilers for new media are not present in edit summaries.

Just in general, about me
Hey. Glad you're reading this, I guess. Sorry it's a mess - I haven't bothered to fully revamp the userpage in years.

I'm an adult, I live in the Pacific Northwest. Right now a lot of my editing is "backstage" type. Archive links, vandal reverting, that sort. I don't edit particularly consistently or on any sort of schedule, but I'll try to respond to talk page messages (and emails - but talk page is almost certainly faster) in a timely fashion. I used to work the top 25 - I might still in the future, but it's not anything I actively do right now. I also used to archive noticeboards, but.. eh. There's bots for that.

I'm interested in a lot of topics relating to music - this reflects in the articles I choose to edit, I guess. I play a few instruments myself, though nothing professional.

I have a variety of mental atypicalities. That said, I expect to be held to exactly the same editing standard as anyone without those atypicalities.

Refer to me however you'd like. I generally use he/him or they/them pronouns - but I don't really mind anything. As long as you assume good faith, that is. :)

You can browse through my userboxes for more about me, if you want. Some are a bit more useful than others.

various opinions



 * Names of living (famous) people shouldn't be in the titles of news articles about dead people
 * New editors are amazing! Sure, they don't really know what they're doing a lot of the time, but did you?
 * The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is cool, I guess, but also needs more prog-rock
 * RfA shouldn't focus so much on content creation. Handling deletion, blocks, technical overrides, permission requests, why does anyone need to know how to write a FA to do that?
 * Rollback should be easier to get, it doesn't do much that Twinkle doesn't and pretty much anyone who isn't a sockpuppet or brand-spanking-new can get that
 * Pseudoscience has no place on Wikipedia
 * People's first edits have little-to-nothing to do with their competency
