Semi-retired

Very tired of slop, topic drift, drive by editing, false accusations, off-wiki trolling, and walls of text. I will generally only work on articles I created to attempt to bypass these issues, it didn't work before but hope springs eternal. I'm more than likely to leave again for another year long break rather than deal with any of these issues.

I've been fortunate to have been born, raised, educated, and lived in Los Angeles my entire life, and I intend to stay well into the future. My partner and I live in a small studio and I work at an educational institution in Orange County. I've never driven a car, but from Union Station I can get anywhere.

The subjects I'm most interested in relate to Russia, the Soviet Union, World War I, World War II, and the Cold War—and more broadly the swath of nations and peoples running from Poland, the Baltics, and Russia southeast through Turkey and the Caucasus, into Central Asia, and ending in Pakistan, northern India, western China, and Mongolia.

The work I'm most proud of are the bibliographies of Russian and Soviet history I've created.

The standard Wikipedia editor is terrible for those with poor vision, so because of my severely deteriorated eyesight I rely heavily on Visual Studio Code. This text editor has a MediaWiki extension (by Jason Williams) that offers syntax coloring. VS code has workspaces for differnt projects, an excellent snippet tool, code folding, and find-and-replace within and across documents and you can customize your theme (I use the "Pitch Black" theme) and settings to match your needs (I use a light yellow highlight with a red border to highlight the line I am working on). There is also a completely online version of VS Code. I use Github from within Visual Studio code to keep track of what I'm working on and version control. I use the Brave (browser). Favorite font: Input Mono. All of these are free.

  • Note: The Wikipedia editor seems to have improved a good deal in my absence. VS Code is still better for me (especially for Bibliographies and longer articles) but it seems better for general editing and proofing. I wish the editor would highlight the line you are working on, make the text highlight color more noticeable, and make the text entry flashing line a different color so it is more visible.

My partner occasionally edits Wikipedia on math and science topics completely separate from the topics I edit.

Quotes to think about

[edit]
  • The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy, instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence, you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence, you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. —Martin Luther King.[2]
  • "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." (paraphrased), Sinclair Lewis
  • "Religion is capable of driving people to such dangerous folly that faith seems to me to qualify as a kind of mental illness." —Richard Dawkins, from The God Delusion.
  • "The Russian Revolution was the most successful criminal conspiracy in history. The takeover of an entire nation by a shameless huckster supported by a hostile foreign power. And the revolution was also an object lesson in how liberals can lose, and lose catastrophically, from a position of great advantage, if they are divided in the face of a ruthlessly ideological foe."[3]
  • "I told you so. You damned fools".[4]
  • "Civilization is in a race between education and catastrophe. Let us learn the truth and spread it as far and wide as our circumstances allow." H.G. Wells
  • "Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing bad things, but for good people to do bad things, it takes religion." Stephen Weinberg, Dreams of a Final Theory
  • “They neglect their own children so that the children of others will be cared for; they live in substandard housing so that other homes will be shiny and perfect; they endure privation so that inflation will be low and stock prices high,” she wrote. “To be a member of the working poor is to be an anonymous donor, a nameless benefactor, to everyone.” Barbara Ehrenreich[5]
  • "No wonder that people are becoming passive sponges – absorbing but never creating. Did you know that the average viewing time per person is now three hours a day? Soon people won't be living their own lives any more." Childhood's End, Arthur C. Clarke
  • "As I write these words, and as you read them, people of faith are in their different ways planning your and my destruction, and the destruction of all the hard-won human attainments that I have touched upon. Religion poisons everything." Christopher Hitchens, God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything
  • "Everything is perfect, but don't despair, life can only get better from here." ... A Soviet citizen, 1937
  • "The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country." ... Edward Bernays
  • "Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident they are acting on their own free will." Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, 1934
  • "The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything." ... Joseph Stalin, 1923
