Joe Beaudoin Jr. (a.k.a. the Wikimoron Previously Known as Joe.Beaudoin) is the webmaster and head wikipedian for the Battlestar Wiki. Much to my chargin, I am the oft-mentioned God that Six refers to almost on an per-episode basis. :-)
Biography
I hail from Vero Beach, Florida, best known to most as victim of both Hurricane Frances and Hurricane Jeanne in mid-to-late 2004.
When not working as a Media Supervisor at my local Best Buy, I do endeavor to get some work done not only here, but at Wikipedia (english) as an administrator. My user name at Wikipedia is Joe Beaudoin Jr..
While I do prefer that you just contact me on my talk page, I can be contacted by clicking the "e-mail this user" link in the toolbox, itself being on the left margin of this page.
As for computing, I use a custom built, AMD-64 Debian Linux machine called "Zen". ("Zen" is the name of the computer that ran the Liberator on Blake's 7.) I did have a Toshiba laptop called "Orac" (yet another Blake's 7 reference), but I no longer have it as I gave the computer to my father for his real estate business. Instead, I have a PowerBook G4 -- swearing off Windows-based machines for good.
I constructed a computer -- calling that one "Orac" as well -- that serves as a Linux based multimedia center, with all my music and movie collections, to be loaded on three 300 GB+ Western Digital hard drives.
I also have an XBox, XBOX 360, Playstation 2, Playstation Portable and, yes, a Nintendo 64 (for Goldeneye, otherwise I would've sold it).
P.S. Yes, you can edit my user page. I trust you. Besides, I can always re-edit your edits.
My tasks
While I really leave all the day to day editing to the contributors, leaving me free to concentrate on major issues (such as policy and so forth, being the "sysop"), I plan to work on the following:
- Work on articles pertaining to the original Battlestar Galactica as well as upload appropriate images.
- Create the following policies:
Battlestar Wiki:Conflict Resolution - policy regarding resolution of disputes between editors; not that this is a problem, but I'd like to get something concrete set up should there be any issues in the future, given the growth of this Wiki-- Sort of deprecated due to BW:RFC.
- Work on the following non-policies:
- Battlestar Wiki:Community Portal - links to outside sites and items related to Battlestar Wiki:Wikipedian Quorum
- Battlestar Wiki:Template List - list of all templates available for this wiki
The red links are obviously stuff I haven't done yet.
Personal tasks
- Get short stories published.
- Program a multimedia interface for Linux-based machines using purely PHP and MySQL (and maybe a few bash scripts).
Completed Stuff
- Battlestar Wiki:Image tagging policy - For the simple fact that many of the images on this wiki aren't organized at all, though most of them are used thanks to Steelviper's Battlestar Wiki:Island of Misfit Images.
- Battlestar Wiki:Vandalism - You know, just in case some Toaster decides to vandalise pages... Look at what they did to the restaurant that Helo and Boomer were in.
- Battlestar Wiki:Quality Articles - As the name might suggest, this is a project to ID quality pages and develop potential quality pages. The best of the best.
- Battlestar Wiki:Site support - place to beg for donations, which will go towards paying for the hosting and for future upgrades; not that it's a burden, but I want to give people the option to give back in whatever way they feel is best -- and some people like to do it financially.
