User:Defiant Elements

So for anyone who's tired of spelling out "Defiant Elements" every time, my real name is Ben, I'm a recently married twenty-five year old second-year journalism student at Columbia University (originally from Washington D.C.). Some of you may know me from PvXwiki (where I'm one of the bureaucrats), from GuildWiki where I was once active, or maybe even from GWW where I've only recently begun to post.

As far as this Wiki goes, my primary interest lies primarily in the development and discussion of policy although I'm an avid Recent Changes vulture as well. Many people probably know by now that I'm not a big fan of GWW policy system, so you'll probably see me "campaigning" for a system that reflects a mentality similar to GW's. To learn more about my thoughts on policy and adminship, see here.

I'm reasonably experienced as far as wiki matters go, so feel free to ask me a question on my talk page.

The word of the day is Screed (screed) n. 1: a) a lengthy discourse. b) an informal piece of writing. 2: a strip laid on as a guide (as of the thickness planned for a coat of plaster). 3: a leveling device drawn over freshly poured concrete.
