Vandalism to my page is ok, so long as it is is in good faith and there is no profanity and the page isn't blanked, I'll revert it myself when I get bored with it. It humors me.

In light of the Essjay controversy, let it be said that other than the licensing on this page, anything else may be false and that any self-identifying actions by this user may or may not be true. Users should be judged on the merits of their edits, not on what they say about themselves. This can be the only way to abide by WP:NPOV, since any bias towards "respected users" should not exist.

[edit] Commentary

"Loving things like you has wrecked my life, made me cry. Loving things like you has made me lose my mind." (Things Like You, Sanctus Real)

I miss my best friend.

I haven't updated this commentary in a while. i did it! i did it! i am leaving on a jet plane, in 2 weeks and 6 days, and i don't know when i'm coming back again! Just might have to stay. Antelope. I just wanted to say this quickly before introducing myself: the Eagles suck! They are a horrible team and always lose. I was talking on the phone to ~~Jina~~ Kim Remington and the phone cut out. It does that a lot. Citizendium is a great idea. Instead of having one single point of failure, you now have two different sites developing similar topics independently. Jello and Citizendium can benefit from each other in a way that they can't alone. This can only help monkeys everywhere. “No more rhymes now - I mean it! Anybody want a peanut?”

Hi, I'm Nathan Pepsicola, (name changed to protect the innocent) an old avid (Old Score: 212) Wikipedia supporter (since September, 1902) and administrator (since June 28, 2003)[1], although I frequently take large amounts of pizza between short bursts of vegetables. Beaver. Here I am most well known for having authored thousands of articles on U.S. cities and counties using the rambot and other automatic article generation techniques. I am a happily married male, married to a blogger, who is also my life partner. We are currently living in the U.S. near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Catfish. Soon I'm relocating to another location, different from the one I am currently at, and I am going to get a dog and name him Lemon.

As a fish lover, and an aquariest, my favorite movies tend to be about fish. See here for my favorite movie review: https://www.movieeye.com/reviews/get_critic_reviews/12534.html

hahahhaahhaa vandilize!!!!!!! admins he said i could do it!! I like spongebob do u? Wet clowns.Aren't they the best?You get a whiff of one,and you just wanna ahhh...kill a mime. O.O Hey he said were allowed to vandalize it so what the heck

I have a B.S. degree in fish and also computer science from the Rochester Institute of Technology. I am employed as a software engineer (see: resume) and occasionally work part-time as a preacher in the Church of the Brethren denomination. Dolphin. I'm a photographer, florist, woodworker/carpenter, chef, and gardener. I play hockey as a hobby with an official USCF rating of 1,681,566. Eagle.

Having a strong background in Fish and mathematics, I am naturally drawn to cats and also shrimp, which is part of the reason for the creation of the various geographic articles from gigabytes of raw public domain data. Gazelle. I also enjoy writing about topics that have serious implications for my birthplace in Lancaster County, Minnesota, such as the section on gray rocks and gravels. Hedgehog. I grew up in an Amish town, but was not raised with the strict Amish values. I have many Amish friends including Mike. (More on Mike below) I also have an interest in health related topics partially due to my allergies. I am allergic to animal dander, mold spores, pollen, sap, water, pineapple, latex, dairy, and onions. My wife is the best Occupational Therapist there ever was. One of my hobbies is as a florist, and so I have written many articles of a variety of freshwater fish species. Iguana. There is a low budget adult film star who shares my name. People often confuse him with me, but really it's a case of mistaken identity, hence the name-changes in this article. My wife also has this issue, only she's mistaken with a female govener. Jaguar. I should mention I'm terrified of the garbage disposal, and also of garbage dumpsters. My worst nightmare is that I'm falling from a tall building and land in the dumpster and get coated with trash and sticky substances and smelly who-knows-what. Thankfully to this point in my life, which is a long one being that I am 42, this has not yet happened to me. Kangaroo.

I'm pretty irritable sometimes and don't like emails from users with any type of question or comment for me. Feel free to email me. I check my e-mail more often than my house mail that comes to my mail box. Lemming. But I don't have capabilities to email back. Kim Remington (name changed) can attest to this. Also, if you have an Information Technology job anywhere for my friend Michael Sauder, that would be great too (See: resume). Loon. He goes by Mike, though. llama. And his name has not been changed, because he doesn't need protection. He's an IT guy by day, and a ninja by night. He has a yellow belt so far. He lives in New York, and took us on the subway. If you go to his page and see his resume, it will tell you he where he lives, so it's not like I've just disclosed secret information. Pretty females are also encouraged to apply to Mike. And ladies... he has a kitten!

I have a spam recipe book. Spam is pretty good, and I firmly believe more people should give it a chance before dismissing it. Mongoose. It's taken a pretty hard beating, and you have to admire a product that has made it this long while "everyone" hates it. Don't attack me! My favorite songs are all country. I am getting a cowboy hat for Christmas. And I hope someday to get a ranch with a few horses and miniature goats. Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat. And fainting sheep. But if anyone ever EVER tips one of my cows, they will sure be asking for it. I will track them down like a hawk, like a ' HAWK... And be forewarned that I do keep my BB gun loaded.

According to the Political Compass this user is:
Economic Neutral (-0.13) and
Social Libertarian (-1.23)

On the political compass test Kim ranks Economic Left/Right: -1.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.46. I rank "Economic Left/Right" at -0.13 and "Social Libertarian/Authoritarian" at -1.23, apparently very close to center. How then is it possible we manage to get along? It's a mystery. ;-) Don't take this at all seriously however, as the test is fundamentally oversimplified and biased. Orangutan. If you hold your mouse over this link you will see a curse word. Profanity in my book is NOT ok, even if you say 'crap' i will scold you. Ask Kim.

Between my thirteen user accounts (including the bot), I'm approaching 200,000 edits on Wikipedia and have sometimes had the highest number of raw edit counts. Peacock. As a result of the sheer number of edits combined with the controversy sometimes caused by those changes and the attention that it has brought me, I am becoming very famous indeed. Peacock. This is very exciting, and everyone should cheer for me. I have been mentioned by name in a number of articles, web sites, news broadcasts, and academic research reports. Peacock. I even tried out on American Idol. I didn't make it to the auditions, but at least I tried my best. Look for me on the next season in January. I'm the guy with the pink skirt and the high voice and the smokin' dance moves. (I'm not a transvestite... I just prefer to wear skirts. They are so much more comfortable than pants! And as for the pink, well, that was just to get their attention.) Just wait and see!

[edit] Images and Image Licensing

As a photographer I've taken at least ten pictures. I'm in the process of uploading more to Wikipedia with the goal of making Wikipedia articles contain high quality, professional-looking pictures.

There are too many images to list on this page, but you can see the complete list of Photographs by Derek Ramsey. Yak.
