A caricature of Blnguyen

[edit] Who is Blnguyen?

Blnguyen (born early-mid 1980s) is a wikipedia editor from Australia, who began editing in September 2005. He became active in December and became an administrator on May 29, 2006. Since then, he has been stomping about deleting unencyclopedic material, clearing deletion backlogs, reverting and blocking vandals and updating Template:Did you know. He appears to have incurred the wrath of many users, but as always remains poker-faced, tapping away on his keyboard.

He has a preference for writing about sport, geography, Eurovision and sometimes maths and physics articles as well. He likes to collect DYKs and also attempts to create some featured material. Being mathematically inclined, he likes a bit of order and patterning and creates templates from time to time. Due to his colourful nature, he likes to create portals in an attempt to increase the vibrancy of Wikipedia.

In line with his urge to make make Wikipedia more graphically attractive, he likes to provide photographs for Wikipedia, with his digital camera. However, he is not the best at this. He has also taken to recording Vietnamese audio pronounciations for articles, and also translates some Vietnamese articles from time to time.

He appears to be something of a glutton for punishment, and sometimes tries to resolve disputes.

He finally got his first FA, Ian Thorpe, which is rather long. 100kb+

He has nominated 16 administrative candidates, all of whom passed.

In real life, he is often accused of reading too many theoretical physics and pure mathematics textbooks.

He also has commons and meta accounts of the same name.

[edit] What he still wants to do

Get more FAs. Get a FP sometime. Hopefully multiples. Get more FLs.
Upload a whole pile of Vietnamese pronounciations onto WP. Already recorded
Translate more stuff from vi.wiki to here since there is so much missing
Expand and clean up all the bad bios in List of Test cricketers (the vast majority) and clear out random anecdotal style and replace with proper chronological account without vague assertions which are POV. Yuvraj Singh and Shanthakumaran Sreesanth is a standard to get a decent base of article.
Help BigHaz and Bravada fill up Category:Eurovision songs
Get Portal:Swimming and Portal:Eurovision featured
Create Portal:South Australia and a whole lot more along geographical lines.
Make sure that Category:Suburbs of Adelaide is filled up.
Walk around Adelaide taking photos. Go down to Adelaide Oval in November and get pics of English and Australian cricketers
Get better coverage of Olympic medal winners on WP.
Help improve coverage of topics in Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics, Hopf algebra, more exactly solved models in the Category:Statistical mechanics - like Spherical model for instance
Improve the hole in coverage in Category:Projective geometry and other obscure mathematical topics
Fix up the rampant weasel words, pov, present in F1 articles, etc.
Try and fix up a deadlocked debate some day
Help more Wikipedians
Learn more languages
