User:Tysto
Tysto [TISS toe] is Derek Jensen (September 1, 1967), a retired professional writer, training and communication consultant, and frequent business traveler. Now a local historian and avid amateur photographer with an interest in architecture. I am the operator of Tysto.com, a blog where my movie analysis can be found, as well as WhiteHouseMuseum.org.
I often edit articles for spelling, tone, flow, and point of view rather than to add information. I believe English Wikipedia should not use foreign spellings and have an imaginary child named Æþöñéß.
I am an enemy of fan zeal, television minutia, band vanity, lists for the sake of lists, and infotisements. I believe that the purpose of an encyclopedia is to document everything that is notable, not everything that is true. I believe that non-notable articles hurt Wikipedia's performance, confuse casual users, and make it harder for people to find genuinely valuable information.
Sole documentarian (maker-uper) of the 1901 B&O Train Robbery.
