User:ZimZalaBim

ZimZalaBim is trying to take a short wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia soon. Most likely, however, ZimZalaBim will not be able to keep away from Wikipedia for that long, and will probably be back a lot earlier while making some small edits every once in a while anyway.

About me[edit]

I've been a Wikipedia editor (off and on) since 2004.
I was an administrator for many years, but was away for quite a while and have since lost that status. I do have rollback privileges.
I often use the Twinkle set of scripts to automate reverts, warnings, and related tasks.

Editing philosophy[edit]

Wikipedia is, above all, an encyclopedia, and should maintain encyclopedic standards.
While wikipedia is not paper, neither should it be an indiscriminate collection of information. In short, Wikipedia is not Google™
I fear that Wikipedia, by nature of its very design, tends to suffer from recentism. Articles should strive for temporal balance and provide only the most notable facts about their subjects.
Articles should claim notability through verifiable and reliable sources. Articles about yourself, your company, your website or your band might qualify for deletion.
Articles should strive for brevity, clarity and NPOV.
Weasel words should be avoided, as should puffery. Trivia and pop culture references should be sourced, kept at a minimum, and ideally incorporated into the main text.
Vandalism, in any form, is not tolerated, especially external link spamming.
When in doubt, refer to the five pillars.
