Hello! My name is Joseph R. P. (you can call me Joseph, Joe, WaddlesJP13, or Waddles) and I am a car enthusiast and geography nerd living in Woodbridge, Virginia, United States. My work on Wikipedia usually consists of working on pages for cars, towns, roads, and historic sites as well as creating and editing disambiguation pages. I volunteer with reviewing new pages, drafts, and pending changes in my free time. I also like to make userboxes (I have made hundreds of them to choose from!), and I can make one for you too.
I should clarify that I am not an admin. I can't delete your pages nor can I un-delete them. I also cannot block or un-block you from editing, either. If you got a message on your talk page telling you your page was tagged for speedy deletion then notice it was deleted, consider contacting the admin that deleted it by clicking on the red-linked page and viewing the displayed deletion log. Further note that I am a human with human emotions, decisions, and real life schedules that affect my abilities to edit on Wikipedia and respond to messages. I always edit in good faith. I make mistakes sometimes and I give my best effort to correct them. If I make a mistake or you have any other concerns regarding my actions on this site, just let me know. Personal attacks, and legal threats will most likely be reverted by me or someone else and thus ignored, and can result in your account being blocked from editing.
That aside, I wish not to come off as dismissive or passive aggressive towards anybody. If it seems that way, I do not mean it and I apologize. Furthermore, I hope that any negative interaction with me (or anybody else) does not sway you from further contributing to Wikipedia. We all have made mistakes before and I am a strong believer in that people can both quickly learn and change from their mistakes and adapt to an unfamiliar environment rather quickly as I have over the years while contributing here.
Some general Wikipedia advice I have:
- Respect the policies and guidelines.
- Be as humorous or angry as you want without breaking the Ps & Gs.
- Don't dismiss new or unregistered users—assume good faith.
- Let people do their jobs.
- Don't be afraid to interrupt people doing their jobs if they're making a mess while doing it.
- Don't be forced to bow down to admins and veteran editors—experience does not equal wisdom.
