Main

Sometimes, when you look up from working on an article, and the world is still there, you realize you forgot that you never even knew the subject.

Last updated on 2023-12-04.

My name is Zubin Madon. I used to be an administrator for Wikipedia, but took some long breaks. I'm back as an editor.

I've edited Wikipedia in a variety of different ways for over 20 years. I'm an adherent to the five pillars, and that's really my only "ism" in Wikipedia.

This user page design was created in 2004. It was pretty cutting edge at the time.

Best effort standing offer for WP:AFDs:

Handle the merge for discussions in which I recommend a merge
Add sources I uncover in an AFD for an article that is kept.
Remove unverifiable, BLP-violating, or otherwise problematic information from an AFD in which I recommend keep.

If I don't end up getting to it, you have my apologies.

I will almost always entertain WP:HEY, as I believe it's one of the few post-nomination deletion discussion mechanisms that embodies the third and fourth pillars.

Based on my recent experiences primarily in WP:AFD as well as some other areas, I have drafted up some essays

Your professional profile addresses why Wikipedia is not for professional profiles.
Crystal ball verifiability, a short explanation of verifiability for yet-to-be-published works.
Ref dump is an explanatory essay to help explain a term I've seen thrown around in a variety of ways.
How to fix NORG AFDs
Need to get this out of my head soon.... Short but nontrivial

Currently I have a broad focus

Improving articles, always.
Going where few dare to tread
Recent changes patrol, including anti-vandalism, verifiability, etc.
New page patrol WP:NPP
Closing discussions at WP:CR
Occasional approval of pending changes.
