User:ThaddeusOrlando55

Hello! I’m ThaddeusOrlando55 (he/him). (That’s not my real name.) I live in a country on the planet Earth. That really narrows it down, doesn’t it?

I mainly edit articles that interest me. Usually, they’re related to politics, history, biographies, and entertainment.

You can reach me at my talk page. Please be nice.

Background


To your right you’ll see an assortment of userboxes pertaining to me. Hopefully they”re helpful in some way.

I was born somewhere, in some state/providence/district, in some country/territory, on some continent, on some day of some week of some month of some year of some century of some millennium. Useful information, no?

My goal on Wikipedia is to make articles as interesting and as accurate as possible. I do my best to keep my work here neutral, and typically I stray away from articles on current events or living people, as I’m more likely to have strong opinions on those. I mainly edit recent stuff if I feel I can fix an error or add important or interesting information. Aside from that, see the other sections above and below this one on this page to see what a I like to edit here.

Interests
I like Wikipedia, although that’s probably obvious. Comic books are also pretty great. I like Superman. I like James Bond, both the movies and the books, but am aware of the problematic aspects of both. I’ve seen all the Bond films at least once (with the exception of the 1967 Casino Royale spoof), and I’ve read the first four Fleming books, and am in the process of continuing the series. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series is another I’ve been reading through, and words are insufficient to describe its greatness.

I find political history pretty interesting, although maybe you could tell that by the articles I work on. Military history can be interesting, but I prefer political. John Quincy Adams is quite fascinating.

I like movies and TV too, but I’m not an expert on either, and comics come first for me. I like comedies.

Politics
This section will be a great way to make people hate me. If you care to know my opinions on whatever political matter, a) Why? Unlike me, don’t you have a life? And b) see this section. I will do my best to avoid letting these biases influence my editing. I created this section so that my biases are clear. We can’t overcome our biases if we don’t first acknowledge them.

Also, for disclosure, this is a list of pages relating to people who are still alive or were alive when I edited them. This does not relate to my opinions of them, I edited them merely because something about their pages was lacking.

 * Göran Persson
 * Carl Bildt
 * Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo
 * Ion Iliescu
 * Isaias Afwerki

My Wikiprojects and notable works
