A little bit about the Seidenstud!

Hey there. I currently reside in Washington Heights, New York City, NY, USA.

I have recently learned that I speak New York–New Jersey English.^[1] For me, the words bad and bat have distinctly different vowel sounds. Also, the word water sounds the way many Americans would say "wood-er." Putting the latter fact in writing for the first time makes me feel rather self-conscious and a bit freakish.

To contact me for any reason, you can either leave a message on my talk page, or you can simply email me!

Like many Wikipedians, I believe that Wikipedia is an amazing project with great potential. However, I strongly believe that this potential is being significantly held back by lax compliance and enforcement of the Wikipedia policies of WP:V and, its partner, WP:OR.

The reason I see this as being a very significant problem is not solely a WP:NPOV issue, but an issue of accountability. Despite any disclaimers, people of all sorts - and for a multitude of types of endeavor - do use Wikipedia (and the multitude of sites republishing Wikipedia's content) as a quick, convenient reference.

Therefore, factual errors with no traceability can quickly enter into the collective understanding of a subject as it is republished and repeated ad infinitum in the digital world. As time extends, the proliferation of phantom facts will eviscerate the usability of this fine product.

• In any article, if I see an assertion of fact whose reliable source is not cited, I will tag it with the {{fact}} tag.
• If possible, I will then make a reasonable effort to find a source.
• If I cannot find a source, after an amount of time, I will delete the offending statement.
• If I am unable to look for a source, I will leave the statement with the {{fact}} tag longer than if I look and cannot find anything.

That's pretty much it.

So, a friend of mine is a surely non-notable actor. And at one point, while talking to him, the name Wikipedia came up. I asked him, "Oh, you know what Wikipedia is?" He replied certainly: "Yeah, it's like IMDB; only on IMDB, they add you; on Wikipedia, you add yourself."

What you are looking at is my user page, so feel free to edit and improve it to your heart's content!

I am trusting you not to do anything to this page that could be considered vandalism. That is, don't be like these people:

• Vietpride085 (talk · contribs)[1]
• 71.224.198.42 (talk · contribs)[2][3][4][5][6][7]
• 24.225.69.157 (talk · contribs)[8]
• 68.94.150.84 (talk · contribs)[9][10]
• Parkin (talk · contribs) [11] [12]
• 12.214.39.49 (talk · contribs)[13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19]
• J2thaunit (talk · contribs) [20][21][22]

and, probably my favorite, so far:

• 65.244.134.67 (talk · contribs) [23]

Speaking of vandalism, if you want to help out with the anti-vandalism efforts here, here are some resources:

• WP:Vandalism - The general vandalism page to get started.
• Warning Templates - Use these to easily put warnings on vandals' talk pages.

Or, for first-time offenders, you can use a more welcoming one:

• Welcome/Warning Templates
• Popups - a very good Wikipedia tool - that is particularly good for reverting vandalism.
• WP:AIV - Administrator intervention against vandalism - When a vandal keeps vandalizing after warnings, report them here, so they may be blocked/banned/worse....

But, please, while on your quest to rid this great resource of vandalism, please remember, to always assume good faith! I can tell you from first-hand experience, it is very easy to neglect this....

• My contributions
• My edit count using X's edit counter
• A different edit count (I'm not really sure which one is right. Can anyone tell me?)

• Helpful Things is simply a list of things I use on regular basis - but not regularly enough to be sure that I can remember their addresses every time. That's all it is.
• My ToDo list - These things are on my radar for when I have some free time. If you'd like to take care of them for me, by all means....

I am quite the novice, but I do enjoy taking photos with my Fuji FinePix F10 to upload for inclusion in various articles. (Some were taken for other reasons and later uploaded.) Here are a few:

• 
  Patrick Ewing as a New York Knick.
• 
  The high school from which I graduated, Leonia High School.
• 
  The Borough Hall of my hometown, Leonia, NJ.
• 
  The 168th St. Subway station.
• 
  One of the coolest subway entrances in my area.
• 
  The George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal
• 
  Papaya King
• 
  Dave Brockie, lead singer of The Dave Brockie Experience and GWAR.
• 
  Mike Derks, a.k.a. Balsac the Jaws of Death, guitarist of GWAR and DBX
• 
  soce, the elemental wizard
• 
  Patton Oswalt
• 
  Demetri Martin
• 
  The Palisades in autumn.
• 
  A friendly rock dove

• Note: If you look carefully at the 168th St. subway photo, you'll notice that the signage is quite outdated, as the B train has not stopped there since 1998, and the 9 train has not existed since May 2005.
