Redding Wiki

Today I decided to make more edits on the Sacramento Wiki to fill the missing gap that is the Davis Wiki. Although I was successful in getting my Fraternity recognized it was only through an indirect process. Although I can freely go about my editing business on the Sacramento Wiki I do not know a whole lot about the city. As such I have become more enthused about visiting Sacramento and making more productive edits as considered by the administrators. During my time at the Sacramento Wiki I haven't had to deal with any reverts and all personal attacks to my Wiki user page have been deleted by the administrators.

But I wanted to take it a next step further and create a Wiki for my hometown of Redding. There are several advantages to this plan. Only I, Steven Ostrowski, have lived in Redding for 16 years and only I can properly edit it so as to bring out Redding glory and pride. Shortly I will have people from Redding involved in this process so as to create more perspective. However, in the meantime the Redding Wiki will be NPOV as it should be for all wikis. This will prevent the very small amount of current editors from creating heavy bias on the pages. It is also quite ideal for everyone involved, their businesses, and reputations.

As a security pre-caution I have banned several users, about a dozen now, from the Redding Wiki. These individuals are either political enemies or trouble makers on the Davis Wiki and I will not allow their drama, insults, and idiocy to harm my own hometown's Wiki. One tried to get around me but within a short time he has found himself completely banned. His actions just before he was snuffed out is exactly what I mean when I need editors who are going to join not for the purpose of challenging me. Jason Aller is doing an excellent job and will probably surpass me in edits in the short run. He has done a great deal and I am pleased that he is taking part in this mission.

There are two administrators for the Redding Wiki and I hope to keep it that way so as to not overly complicate things. Last thing I want are administrators fighting amongst each other. I will make a great wiki either through administration or page building. I am going to greatly enjoy building this Wiki and I hope that the people of Redding will appreciate my style, committment, effort, and judgment.

Sacramento Wiki Expansion

I have created a new Facebook group for the sole purpose of editing the Sacramento Wiki which I have determined is in great need of work. I am also aware of the flood of active Davis Wiki editors who have landed themselves into Sac Wiki. As such it is important to bring more editors to the Sacramento Wiki in order to create greater activity and neutrality. I have added six hundred people to the group and hopefully it will amount to a large group, other administrators may add hundreds more. If the group expands to a large degree I will be able to coordinate lecture hall classes on how to edit the Sacramento Wiki which in turn will assist in teaching how the Davis Wiki works as well.

The Wiki is simple to use but it is sometimes intimidating to many people and it has become necessary to add more people to both the Davis and Sacramento Wiki systems. The reason being is that less than 1% of the population define what Davis and Sacramento are. This creates bias and a lack of perspective and information to the system.

As such I am going to bring it upon myself to teach wheoever is willing as to how the system works because I know a great deal about it, probably not as good as the administrators but good enough. This is consistent and a small part of the overall plan to change Davis.

There are a few observations to be made. First of all, no ASUCD official from any slate will be allowed in the group. If you join I will ban you. This is also the case with any non-friendly Davis Wiki editors. You are poison for discussion, teaching, and good will.

I am hopeful that this will give me greater editorial control, better networking abilities, and will flood both Wiki systems with new blood.

The Beginning

On September 10, 2007, a date I will remember for a long time I was banned from the Davis Wiki. So, it would seem the master of the dark side has been slain. The Davis Wiki will lack a great deal of perspective with me gone. In a very short time a lot of activity will become noticeable in UC Davis, especially ASUCD, and in the City of Davis. How this will be portrayed is really unknown now that this has happened.

In the near future I will be training “apprentices” in how the Davis Wiki works. I will teach them code and how to make edits on how to deal with idiots like William Lewis. I will assist them in how to use talk pages and revert edits to protect their accounts and their friend’s accounts from lies and defamations of the enemy.

In order to show more evidence that I am a great Wiki Editor, as in the greatest of all time in this community I will be working on the Sac Wiki and in a very short time I will be the #1 editor on the Sac Wiki and will soon have more edits than both Founders combined. I will show the Sac Wiki editors that I am the reasonable one and that the others are a bunch of growling attack dogs. I will redeem myself to those in Sacramento with positive edits that will bring balance, neutrality, and accurate information. It will become apparently clear that I am one of the best on this.

I want to thank those who have assisted me on the Davis Wiki and defended me on the talk page. Despite the fact that I told you not to in order to protect your reputations and public image you did it anyway. That’s really telling about your editing style and friendship and I will remember it. I especially thank Max for bringing this whole system to my attention.

Now to the Davis Wiki’s reputation: You may think you are the greatest thing on Earth but I know what others think of you outside your bubble. You are a loaded gun, a weapon to be used against people in local Davis politics. For many that is your purpose and you have allowed it to happen. You will continue to allow it to happen. I hope that changes, I really do.

As for an apology, guess what, not happening. I may have been a bit rude but no where near the others. I will not apologize one bit no matter what. My conscious will not allow me too because it will give credibility, honor, and respect to my enemies and I will never give them that satisfaction. Nor will I lie about myself in order to get back on the Davis Wiki. By submitting to the others I will have betrayed my ideals, principles, friends, and allies and the worse thing on Earth is betrayal and disloyalty. I would rather be hated then ask forgiveness from the likes of Schwab, the most manipulative public figure in the history of the Davis Wiki.

To the general community of Davis Wiki, I hope to meet you all in person. I will go to your restaurants, your communities, your clubs, and to you as a person so that I may be able to reach out. I want to know how I can help you in Davis whether it be about the quality of life in Davis or your ideals. We may not agree but I will respect it. Soon, everyone in Davis will know who I am and it will be the most positive thing in my life. I don’t need the likes of William Lewis to tell me who I am.

If you wish to talk to me in person about this, call me, or AIM me you may do so I will happily talk to you about anything about the Davis Wiki. All of this should be very interesting for the journal a friend of mine is writing up. There are some individuals I have no interest talking to and they know who they are, but I am a very pleasant person to have a conversation with. Tis all, may my ghost haunt your little club.

LEAD's Hold on Davis Wiki II

These are some conpiled stats I counted up. I may be off by maybe a few on the really big edit counts but none of the stats should be off by any more than 1%. This blog entry is on going as I will probably add more examples and pages.

LEAD's hold on Davis Wiki

It is my belief that the Davis Wiki is often used as a political football by the powers that control ASUCD. The LEAD slate dominates the Davis Wiki among ASUCD savvy individuals. I do not count neutral editors in this study due to their low involvement in ASUCD edits. In this study I have listed partisans to LEAD and the former Student Focus and myself. It is my conclusion for this last year that those who oppose the LEAD regime in any particular way will quickly find their profiles and reputations in ruins. If it is not a conscious effort is an unconscious one as the Davis Wiki's tilt has gone LEAD's way. One only has to look at the LEAD wiki page and then my own public page. When it comes to opposition party's pages they are at the mercy of LEAD editors who will blatantly attack or make settle edits to make them look bad. It is my firm belief that the only thing that protects myself, my activities, my groups, my friends and allies, my favored groups, or groups I have sympathy towards from LEAD is me.

While LEAD has taken great measures to make their enemies look foolish I have taken the honorable path of not outing the drug addictions, recreational drug use, sexual orientations, corruption scandals, criminal activity, etc of LEAD officials.

I do not necessarily believe in NPOV as I love to see what people think and I find every page of the Davis Wiki filled with human feeling and emotion. Sometimes I sense humor, anger, curiosity, joy, and hatred in many of the Davis Wiki pages. With LEAD they have collectively used the Davis Wiki as an advertisement sign and are tilting it towards their side. Why is this important? The Davis Wiki is not in my view supposed to be a collection of half truths, feelings, and lies. It is to be the truth as determined by those who know. Not every Davis Wiki editor is equal. I have knowledge of a subject that others do not. Other editors have knowledge that I do not. Every editor in a way is specialized due to their proximity to the subject they are editing or their connection with the subject.

In any case if words alone cannot convince you I have listed all of the editors aligned with LEAD and everyone else. Although not all of them make constant ASUCD edits I do not either. This is to show the bias, the tilt, the gang up I experience on a regular basis. The solution is simple, a reduction in Davis Wiki LEAD editors by reducing the amount of LEAD officials who know of ASUCD, or teaching non-LEAD members how to use the Davis Wiki. With these two choices in mind it is clear that I must do both for the sake of the Davis Wiki and ASUCD. From this point on I will teach others how to use the Davis Wiki more than I have done in the past. I find myself horrified at what would happen to those not associated with LEAD if I had not been present on the Davis Wiki.

Conflict on F Street

Tonight, after being thwarted for two days, Ronald Payne and I went to see Harry Potter V possibly one of the best movies of all time. This is consistent with my belief that Star Wars III, Transformers, and Matrix Reloaded are legendary in film or will be in the near future. Ron and I met at the movie theater at around 9:30pm, about twenty minutes before the movie was to start, and I had not bought a ticket yet.

While Ron and I talked a strange person decided to join us. He was taller than us and seemingly older. He had on a white t-shirt with a blue icon on the front, jeans, presumably tennis shoes. He had short curly brown hair and had a pale Caucasian complexion. It seemed a little strange that he would only have a t-shirt on; I was comfortable only when I had my sweatshirt on.

He approached us asking for help giving me the early impression that he was in need of money. I am not a very charitable person on the spot and would have refused him if he had asked. I feel there is a difference between supporting charities with my time and simply giving out cash to people, especially cash that is not really mine to give out. Instead the man asked if we would do him a huge favor to which I inquired what it was.

He basically wanted me to find shrooms and if I were to agree he would help us tremendously. The guy however, couldn’t stay on topic though. He declared that if we were to follow through with it he would give us grand spiritual powers. He demonstrated this by holding out his hand which presumably had invisible fire emitting from it. I didn’t care to deny his belief that his hand controlled fire. He went on to say that he was God and/or Christ and the God and/or Christ was speaking through his human body as if to convince us of the importance of his demand. He gave us a convincing case as to how he could be God and/or Christ. But I found myself unconvinced but decided not to question him on it.

After he was done with what could be considered a pitch he wanted to know if we would help him. I told him that we were going to see a movie in ten minutes and that we would have to do this later. He didn’t seem to accept that and so I asked where I could find these shrooms. He answered in ironic fashion that he had planted shrooms in my backpack. It was at this time that I became confused as to what he meant. If he had planted shrooms in my backpack what did he need me for? He said he would give me $30.00 if I assisted him in getting shrooms, or maybe he meant that he would sell them to us for $30.00. Either way, it didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me.

As I was still on the fence about this I asked if I could make a phone call to a friend and that I needed some time to think this over. He didn’t find this satisfactory and told me that if I were to call a friend it would bring demonic ruin to me and even more so to Ron since it was his phone. After playing along with this guy for a few minutes he found my lack of cooperation unsatisfactory and took off north on F Street.

After he was gone I quickly checked my backpack and found nothing unusual. It was later confirmed by Ron that the guy did not mess with my backpack during the conversation. Sure the guy was gone I went to the other side of the movie theater and asked for Ron’s phone. In my zeal for righteousness I called 911 and got the CHP computer which then informed me that all of their operators were busy. I then called the Davis Police Department using the information off Ron’s ID card. Calling the Davis Police Department number it took a few minutes to get to their operator to which I described the altercation.

They asked all the right questions and I provided a detailed account, almost as detailed as what I am writing right now. Since the movie was going to start in 10 minutes I request that a cop car go after the suspect and have a chat with him. This was complied with and I left the DPD to handle him.

It is unknown to me as to whether the DPD actually found him. If they had they would probably find him mentally unstable or having possessed or being under the influence of some drug. The odds are I believe is that the cops never found him, but I can find out later.

Now, I could have done a few things differently than what had occurred. I could have been a jerk and told him to scram immediately but then that could have caused a fight. I could have walked off, but then he might have followed. With these options I decided to locate myself right in front of the theater in front of a large group of witnesses. I also kept the conversation going for me to memorize his physical details and for potential line up purposes. But at times he even patted me on shoulder in a friendly manner.

As for reporting the individual I decided that if this guy were to hurt or cause injury to another on F street or elsewhere and I didn’t report it I would feel morally responsible. Ron concurred with this judgment. Also, I really had a great satisfaction in busting a druggie and possible drug dealer. I realized soon thereafter that if they caught the suspect the Court might require me to attend as a witness, even so I found that to be intriguing.

But it was also personal. This guy invoked religious arguments to try and convince me which is something I don’t take lightly. Both Ron and I are quite skilled in Christian thinking and this guy was annoying my moral sensibilities. It reminded me of an event in which Ron dealt with someone who was trying to sell off prophecies near a local church. It was later determined that he was not a registered prophet. During the conversation I almost thought that he seriously wanted us to exorcise demons or something to which I would reply that I would have to get a signed document from the dioceses in order to proceed. Thankfully this do not occur for it could have caused him even more anger. There are procedures after all. It was one of weirdest conversations I have ever had with a human being.

I would just like to say that drug dealers and those who are influenced by them are not part of a happy hippie world in which all is peacefull and full of harmony. Drugs and those who use them are part of a depressing, self destructive segment of society. It is dark, violent, threatening, and destroys people every day.

In any case Harry Potter V was well done but I would objectively give it a B grade. I found Ralph Fiennes to be the best character in the movie.

The Chavez Man

It is the beginning of the Summer Session II and things are generally uneventful in comparison to what has occurred in the recent past and will happen in the near future. It is the so called silence before the storm. I got word by scanning facebook accounts that James Schwab had been removed from Facebook which were followed by various GO supporters rejoicing. However, this was simply an error on their part as they hadn’t investigated Facebook as thoroughly as myself, in other words they didn’t spend two minutes to confirm it. I posted it on the Davis Wiki knowing Schwab would confirm or deny it. Whether or not Schwab uses Facebook is irrelevant to me or what I intent to do in the future, it’s just a nice little tool for recruiting purposes.

The Campaign for Spencer Higgins Draft is real. I should know, I am in the Facebook group and talk with Spencer indirectly on what’s going on. Those who doubt the seriousness of this situation will be surprised when the 410 form is filled out.

I picked up golf on Wednesday and granted I have clubs I will challenge the 18 holes to a duel. It would be a fine fight and the odds are against me but I am going through with it. Besides golf allows for the more exciting activity of using a go-cart and chatting about various things. If I score a 200 I will consider it a success.

Bowling is on the up swing, I find that I was able to get a higher score by bowling by myself in one lane all for myself. This is not to say that there weren’t others, but because it was going to close soon we got three separate lanes for ourselves. I got a 139 in less than 15 minutes.

The crew and I are also considering the purchasing of more powerful laser tag guns which will have chest plates and a visor which will allow me to lock onto a target for a perfect shot. We also have our light sabers ready to go for fencing practice.

As for the Empire Nation I am supposedly going to have some sort of session with the Director of Public Affairs today or next week, she hasn’t got back to me. Poor Ryan and Joe had an interesting chat and now have to modify their shows a little bit. I consider the whole experience good practice for the Fall granted I am able to keep the show around by that time.

During the last show I read an article and concluded that Chavez was a dictator. The article may have also said it, I don’t remember, but I am sure I said it. Shortly thereafter I got calls coming into the show saying I was wrong and brainwashed for called Chavez a dictator. As usual it’s the corporations who are feeding me such lies leading me to use my progressive slogan: “The Corporations!” Whenever there is a problem in America it’s always “The Corporations!” I suppose I watch too much South Park or perhaps I hear too many Liberals speak.

Now, I suppose I could Google Chavez but Google is a Corporation so that’s out. I could read a book but then that would be a publishing corporation. I could watch the news but all the news channels are corporations. I could read liberal blogs but then how would I know if the bloggers are not getting their sources from corporations. I could take quotes from politicians but they also use corporations for their news and information. I suppose I will have to drive to Venezuela to find out the truth of the matter. Unfortunately for the Chavez supporters I am too low class to afford such a thing. And then there is Wikipedia which is the Source of All Truth and is a non-profit enterprise.

Is Chavez a dictator? I suppose it depends on perceptions. There is still a legislative branch and some independents in the press. He still has term limits which will probably be abolished soon. Chavez’s model is Cuba, no mistake about it. He will become a dictator just like Fidel Castro if he is not stopped.

More importantly Chavez is an enemy to the United States. He has done everything possible to antagonize the United States politically and economically. The reason gas prices are so high is due in some part to him. Socialism will never work in any country. His country will become poorer than before and there will be a coup just as there was before. I am not too concerned about Chavez because capitalism will always win in the end; it’s just a matter of time. But until people realize this the Venezuelan people will continue to suffer.

So how does this fit in with my progressive nature? Democratic politicians have come out and accused Chavez of being a dictator and are acting more hawkish towards Chavez. One can be progressive and not be a communist. I think I can create the distinction on the show where is a conservative cannot. After all only a liberal can destroy another liberal.

In the meantime read some of Google’s finest searches and you will see what I mean.
