Welcome to the Frisbeeteria User page. Yeah, you can call me Fris, but I'd prefer you didn't call me Frisbee. Just funny that way, I reckon.

NSwiki History

I'm much more interested in the administrative details of keeping a place like this runnning smoothly than I ever will be in roleplaying in NationStates. Consequently, you'll see my sig on new InfoBoxes and Factbook Categories more often than you will on detailed histories or invented languages. Which is not to say I don't enjoy reading your contribs, because I do.

If you want some assistance formatting an article with wiki code; if you've got this wicked new idea for a way to recategorize articles; or if you just want your damn links to work right, then I'm your man. If you want to argue the merits of elves versus vampires or the tech specs of your new Main Battle Tank ... you should probably look elsewhere.

I want to see NSwiki become a storehouse of NationStates memories that rivals or exceeds the Forums. Forum stickies and Archives just don't cut it when you need to find out the secrets of panNorms or you want to find out why Hersfold's Olympic Games proposal got deleted - you need a searchable, linkable database that'll take you places you never even considered going.

That's what NSwiki can do, and I appreciate your letting me be a part of it. Let me know what I can do to make your NSwiki experience better. I mean it.

Sysop History

Sysophood granted by The Goobster, 16:24, 17 Oct 2004 (GMT)

As a NSwiki sysop, you'll often see my name in the History files of articles. I'm the one that sneaks in and adds an infobox or adds the page to a category. I also make a habit of creating factbooks for nations who have several sub-pages lying around with no clear owner. I don't claim credit for the bulk of those articles, even though my name may appear first on the History page. I've also created a number of starter pages for well-known languages, but am not responsible for adding NS content. Articles in bold are the ones I am proudest of.

Created Categories

Historic Nations - Factbooks - Corporations - Hardware - Languages ... and many, many factbooks.
