User:Hoary

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you're reading this anywhere other than en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hoary, it's likely that you're reading an old copy. And who'd want to copy it? Amazingly, some pill-pusher recently was, and may still be leeching a copy for its own inscrutable but no doubt profit-driven purposes. (You're thinking of entrusting your credit card details to a spamvertiser? It's Brains you want!)

[edit] The true Hoary revealed!

Hoary is:

the personification of everything that is wrong with wiki and the internet in general, one person who has a bee in his bonnet about something and won't listen to consenus [sic] and people with more experience and knowledge

-- as divulged by Brettr on 2 April 2007.

[edit] What I've been up to here

Perhaps some people would like to know what I've been up to here.

One day, I might start to do something or other systematically. But as it is I enjoy working on whatever I please.

[edit] Starts

Articles I've started include:

Many of them are extremely feeble by any standard. Some are mere stubs. Sometimes I start an article about something of which I know little, hoping that better-informed people will make intelligent additions to it. When I look for information about somebody and find that his or her name has been appropriated for an article on somebody unrelated, irritation often impels me to start an article on the person I wanted to read about. I don't think of these as "my" articles (and some are very different from and much better than the state they were in when I last touched them); some are of much less interest to me than are other articles to which I've contributed but which I didn't start. The list is here just for my amusement and perhaps for yours too. And in the same spirit:

[edit] Gongs

Hoary is an exceptional newcomer, according to User:Chmod007 and User:JRM. Hoary has not even started his/her user page, and has already jumped into the every-day maintenance of Wikipedia by listing an article (a joke) on VfD! Excellent start, and you show a great desire to learn more. To encourage this, I hereby present you with the newly-invented Exceptional Newcomer award. You may now use this award image on your user page, talk page or where-ever you like.

I award Hoary this barnstar for wonderful editing and patience during the VfD, save and redevelopment of the Sollog article! Wyss 04:29, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I,Tan Ding Xiang,hereby award you with this honourable award...THE BARNSTAR,for your contributions and tip to Wikipedia! tdxiang

I hereby award this Barnsensu to you, Hoary, in recognition of your tireless work in improving Japan-related articles in general. I also want to recognize your work in cleaning up Japan-related articles, including participation in deletion, merge, and other related discussions. Even though we tend to clash, I think you are doing a great job, and I appreciate all the hard work you do. Thanks, and please keep it up. (^_^)···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 07:11, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
