User:HighInBC

Hello, I am human so feel free to talk to me. My Wikipedia name HighInBC is a reference to my enjoyment of hiking the mountains and valleys of British Columbia. If you know about photography I am always open to advice, whether general or based on what you have seen of my work. My gallery can be seen here: User:HighInBC/gallery

I enjoy photography and take pictures whenever I get the chance, thank God for digital cameras because I cannot afford to buy film.

I try to be a nice guy.

Here is a link to my committed identity in the form of a PGP public key.

To do

 * User:HighInBC/AfD draft: List of fictional characters by IQ - Deleted
 * Schrödinger's cat in popular culture - It the subject of the article itself covered by independent sources, or is this original research?
 * /find socks by revert rate: Create a tool that reads all edits for a page and organizes editors based on what percent of their edits were reverted. This will be helpful catching chronic sock puppets on certain articles. If done right disruptive sock puppet accounts will stand out clearly from productive editors. Naturally final judgment is left to a human.

Things to watch

 * WP:AIV
 * Users requesting unblock
 * Admin noticeboard incidents
 * Admin noticeboard
 * Admin IRC
 * OTRS

Quotable quotes

 * "There seems to be an incorrect assumption and undercurrent here, though, which is some notion that the community has the sole and sovereign right to determine who is given the admin bit. This is not true, has never been true, and will never be true." - User:Jimbo Wales 20:34, 7 March 2009
 * In the summary of a civility block: "incivility. Not a novice to be forgiven the use of such language"(spelling corrected) - User:Mikkalai 20:32, 1 May 2007
 * "I detest incivility." - User:Bishonen 23:11, 11 November 2007
 * ""Bold" is good, discussion and consensus even better... Please use discussion page before adding again" - User:A. B. 19:11, 31 January 2008
 * "Admin: "If you don't stop doing XYZ, I'll have to block you." Bad user: "You're a steaming pile of crap. Look, I just did it again." Admin: "Oh, I can't block you now."" - User:Jpgordon 14:56, 6 May 2008
