1. How did you first hear of Wikipedia, and why did you decide to become a Wikipedia editor?
A: I discovered Wikipedia via
Google. I registered in
March 2007 and made a few testing edits. After that, I began editing using anonymous IP addresses. In
July 2007, I began to edit using the account again, and here I am.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: Probably my best contribution to Wikipedia is
vandal fighting. I also give advice to other users and the periodical article editing.
3. What is the origin(s) of your username?
A: My old username was MITB LS (which stood for
Money In The Bank,
Lil' Scrappy). This account was originally to be intended as just to experiment around Wikipedia (so the username was just a random name based on something that was hot at the time). Over time, I felt more obliged to actually contribute to Wikipedia. And in the summer this year, my career picked up. So then I decided to change my username to something more permanent: The Chronic, in reference to the
rap album by
Dr. Dre. Not something to actually promote the album (though I do have it), but just because the name sound cool; I've gotten quite a few compliments for my username.
4. What other project(s) do you participate in on Wikipedia besides WP:PW?
5. What do you like most about Wikipedia? What do you hate most about Wikipedia?
A: What I like about Wikipedia is how the info and knowledge is right there in one compact website. It's much easier to just Wikipedia-find the info (like suppose for a school project) rather than Googling it and get a bunch of random websites. What I hate the most is the vandalism, though I do find the stupidity of vandals amusing. :)
Wrestling related
1. How did you begin watching professional wrestling?
A: I flipped the channel and found SmackDown! during the time that
Cena just won his first WWE Championship. I've watched SmackDown! ever since (since I didn't have cable at the time). Earlier this year, I finally got cable and started watching RAW and TNA iMPACT!. After that, wrestling started getting really bland for me. I stopped watching WWE after SummerSlam, and TNA after Genesis. Now I don't watch wrestling at all.
2. Who is your favorite wrestler, and why?
A: The high-fliers (
Cruiserweights and the
X Division). The high-risk maneuvers are what I really enjoy watching. In WWE, I like watching
Rey Mysterio. In TNA, probably the
LAX.
3. If you were to enter pro wrestling, what would you choose your entrance theme to be?
4. If you can be in a tag team with any professional wrestler, who would you choose?
A: I have no idea.
5. If you were in control of any of the major wrestling promotions (WWE/TNA/etc.), what would you change about them?
A: In
WWE, emphasize crusierweight division; give them more showtime, allow them to perform the more risky moves. In
"Extreme" Championship Wrestling, they need to be 110% extreme/hardcore/(however you wanna call it). Either that or bring back the
Hardcore Title. In
TNA... I don't really know what to improve.
5. If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three items would you bring with you?
A: A
sniper rifle with lots of extra
clips (depending on the type of island, i.e. the island from the Condemned), a
Swiss Army knife, and a
boombox with all my music loaded.
A: I think they they did pretty good. I think they could've won the
Civil War (the annual event that tears the state apart, in green and
orange) if
Dennis Dixon hadn't been injured. At least they beat
South Florida in the
Sun Bowl.
3. What do you think about people who think little of and look down on professional wrestling? (from Feedback☎)
A: I wouldn't care if anybody thought little of pro wrestling at all. They have their opinions, and I have mine.
Any optional comments by the interviewee
Just something trivial for everybody: this is the list of albums that I currently have; this is the music I listen to on
iTunes while I edit Wikipedia + my ratings for each (all albums are explicit):
