My own site is StorySage.com. If you like my nonfiction writing on Wikipedia, you'll love my fiction writing there -- it's anime and science fiction inspired and absolutely insane.
More about me
I was a college student who majored in economics – I graduated and have just finished moving back home. I like anime — my favorite titles include Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Kino's Journey, and RahXephon; lately, I have been watching Mai-HiME, which has excellent music. In my spare time, I place crazy things like instructions on summoning demons on my website. There is a page about me (http://creatures.wikicities.com/wiki/RedWordSmith) in the Creatures Wiki.

- Enterprise Rent-A-Car - the article is nearly useless and uninteresting. The history and talk page, however, speak volumes.
- Category:Prediction markets
*Insane in this context refers to my own feeling of an article's topic. Think "Interesting and weird." Compare and contrast: Wikipedia:Unusual articles.
**Quote taken from part of the subtitle of Eugene A. Calame's Newsgroup Faq (http://www.geocities.com/eacalame/create/create.html) - "Guides for Creating Newsgroups: The light of knowledge will banish the shadows of ignorance"

My VFD Recommendation Record
Template:Deletiontools First of all, some notes on why I like to hang out at VFD. I do not consider myself a deletionist. On the contrary, I like reading VFD for the stuff that gets kept. Many of the articles on my "Insane" list above were examined on VFD at one point or another, or brought up as an example in discussion. So basically, I read VFD because interesting stuff comes up there.
On Sept. 12, 2004. My nomination of List of windmills, which at the time was blank, was mentioned on Nooks and Corners of Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Nooks_and_corners_of_Wikipedia_that_should_be_frequented&oldid=5822988). Although I wish we could have gotten better results on cleanup, the ultimate result was pretty good.
Record on per "vote" basis (maybe slightly off):

| Keep | 65 |
