About me

I am the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful Wikipedian you've ever known in your life. (disputed — see talk page)

But don't take my word for it. Listen to what others have to say:

I started this account on 7 January 2006, and have made billions and billions^[1] of edits since then. (Clearly I need to get a life.)

My most extensive work has been on Dennis Miller, Paraconsistent logic, and Sledge Hammer! Other articles on which I've spent a fair amount of time and effort are Counterfactual conditional, Deontic logic, Godflesh, List of bands named after places, Logical consequence, Mullet (haircut), Ontology (computer science), Quasi-quotation, and Slingshot argument.

A totally awesome list created by Yours Truly that was deleted by a bunch of meanies who dismissed it as "listcruft" but is nevertheless preserved here for the eternal enjoyment of all (please feel free to add to it if you can think of any good ones I missed)

List of bands with repetitive names

This music-related list is silly; you can join in the silliness by expanding it.

The AAA-list (for purists)

The BBB-list

Articles I started

Articles to which I've made non-trivial contributions

Articles I helped rescue from the brink of deletion

From Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Bennett Perry:

ColenFace, you seem to have a real chip on your shoulder about this guy. What's the matter, did he beat you out for the part of the Old Spice sailor? ; ) dbtfz ^talk 21:12, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
I was a real champ, on top of my game. Everything was going for me the world was my oyster. Audition time for role as the Old Spice sailor the only part I ever wanted. I put my whole heart and soul into that audition and would have gotten it too if John Bennet Perry hadn't walked in and taken it from me. I'll admit it his physic, his charm, his aroma, he had it all. He's better than me I knew that anybody knew that. When I saw his article up for deletion I thought it was too good to be true, the ultimate revenge. But now it's looking like John Bennet Perry has defeated me once again. This should have been my article and the great Mathew Perry son of the great John Bennet Perry should have been Mathew ColenFace son of the great Colenface. My life is in shambles. And I owe it all to John Bennet Perry. John Bennet Perry 2 : ColenFace 0.ColenFace 11:49, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Useful links

Policies, wikiculture, &c.

It's really pretty simple:
mind NPOV
don't be a douchebag
ignore all rules

Don't panic.
Don't get wraped up in shelf-pitty.
All I really need to know I learned in Wikipedia:List of policies.
Discuss, don't argue. As the saying goes, arguing on the Internet is like competing in the Special Olympics: even if you win, you're still a retard.
Thesis, antithesis, synthesis:

In time of need call on the editor's creed:
Thesis, antithesis, synthesis!

If you think what you read should be NPOV-ed,
Thesis, antithesis, synthesis!

So plant a good seed

And do a good deed

And don't ever stop until all have agreed

And then they will call you a real Wikiped-

Ian.
Thesis, antithesis, synthesis!

Geogre's Law: A law attributed to User:Geogre and most frequently referred to in Articles for deletion. Paraphrased, the law states that there exists a strong correlation between the lack of proper capitalization of a person's name in the title of a biographical article, and the failure of the subject of that article to satisfy the criteria for inclusion of biographies.

Some favorite quotes

Even the bad things are better than they used to be. Bad music, for instance, has gotten much briefer. Wagner's Ring Cycle takes four days to perform while "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" by the Crash Test Dummies lasts little more than three minutes.
— P. J. O'Rourke, All the Trouble in the World

Western religions tend to imagine God as either a burning bush or Wilford Brimley with a beard and dreadlocks. In the East, you get a little more leeway: one god is a bare-breasted woman with six arms, another is a man with the head of an elephant. There is no doubt in my mind as to who had the better weed.
— Dennis Miller, The Rant Zone

The greatest effrontery in serving up sheer nonsense, in scrabbling together senseless and maddening webs of words, such as had previously been heard only in madhouses, finally appeared in Hegel. It became the instrument of the most ponderous and general mystification that has ever existed, with a result that will seem incredible to posterity, and be a lasting monument to German stupidity.
— Arthur Schopenhauer, The World as Will and Representation, Appendix

Joblessness is no longer just for philosophy majors. Useful people are now beginning to feel the pinch.
— Kent Brockman, The Simpsons
