[edit] Half-Hearted Yet Rambling Explanation of My Username

A cursory search of Google tells me that this phrase originated on the TV show Spaced, and also appeared in Shaun of the Dead. Now, I did watch SotD, and I quite liked it. But I don't remember that phrase. So, to the best of my knowledge, I came up with it independently. I like fried things, and I like gold, and I like the idea of liquid gold, and I like "fried" and "gold", so I ran them together. (Other than naming yourself something like, say, "Flooz", this seems to be the only way to get a unique name anymore on the old 'webs: take an adjective and combine it with a noun it doesn't make sense with.) Although, it does make me think of a Southern fast-food chicken joint advertising their delicious batter-dipped goods.

Yes! As of 2007-08-06, I'm in the top ten Google hits for "fried gold"! (Quotations included. Um, exclamation point not.)

[edit] Regrets

Man, I should've made my username José Citafuentes. That would've been the coolest Wikipedia name ever.

[edit] РАНДОМ СТУФФ ин Кириллица

Well, just the heading itself. This stuff is too hard to cut-and-paste.

[edit] Figure Out How to Use My User and Talk Pages Appropriately

Also, add more useful userboxes.

[edit] Powder (snow)

Either make this article, or expand on its section in Snow. Keep it NPOV, even though powder is objectively wonderful.

[edit] Wikipedia Policies, Guidelines, and Help

Find out if there's some sort of centralized, all-encompassing index of the sprawling multitudes of these documents. If there isn't, suggest creating one.

Also, maybe edit some policies pages (or just write an essay) to say that Wikipedia is after the TRUTH, specifically to maximize the chances of the reader knowing the truth about the subject after reading the article, but having policies like NOR, V, and NPOV is the only practical way to do this.

Maybe say that truth is necessary but not sufficient for inclusion in Wikipedia, whereas verifiability, which implies truth, is necessary and sufficient.
