User:UBX/architecture

My name is Brady Brim-DeForest. I have a particular interest in geography, cartography, antiquarian matters, phaleristics, heraldry, European history, nobility, and royal families. My native language is English, and I have varying degrees of knowledge of several other European languages.

Wiki Philosophy

My contributions to Wikipedia are made in the spirit of Wikipedia:Assume good faith.

I am a wiki inclusionist. Where else could I find information on subjects like Executive One, Kolda, French grip, and Lithia Park? The more information the better.

Here are some of the tools I commonly use in my Wikipedia editing: Wiki tools

Wikimedia Board of Trustees

In 2009, I was a candidate for the Wikimedia Board of Trustees. Here is my statement of intent:

As a Trustee, I will be an advocate of open, transparent dialogue with the community and will strive to serve as both its voice and its messenger. Specifically, I will:

• Plan for the long-term viability of the Wikimedia projects through establishment of an endowment that doesn't compromise the independence of the organization.
• Encourage Wikimedia's adoption of open standards for interoperability, ensuring its continued role as the hub of the open knowledge ecosystem.
• Fight to protect the neutrality of the internet to ensure that the efforts of the Wikimedia community pay long-term dividends and are preserved for future generations.
