Hello, I'm benlisquare, a Wikipedia contributor since 2005 from Australia. I am active on both the English and Chinese Wikipedia projects. Welcome to my page. During the daytime, I am a software engineer specialising in Oracle-based enterprise solutions, while I am an equities trader in the evenings. My hobbies include musical performance, videogames, weightlifting, and performance cars. In recent years, I have become a hobbyist beekeeper taking care of two backyard hives of Italian honeybees, and have been getting into taking landscape photography and street photography during my travels. I first started contributing to Wikipedia as a young teenager, and during the decade and a half since then, I have been experimenting with various different political positions while trying to find my own personal identity; because of this, you can definitely find contradictions in the way I behaved on Wikipedia depending on the date it occurred. In the past, I have flipflopped between far-left authoritarianism, unapologetic Sinophilia, far-right conservatism, pro-market moderate-right libertarianism, unapologetic Ameriphilia, and centre-right liberalism. Today I identify as a centrist with left-leaning sentiments towards social equity and fiscal policy, right-leaning sentiments towards immigration and national defence, strong attitudes towards the preservation of civil liberties, and a healthy dose of Sinoskepticism. I am an occasional contributor to Touhou Wiki, and I was previously a sysop on both KanColle Wikia and KanColle Wiki, however have ceased that role due to inactivity. I was formerly a volunteer supertester for World of Warships, and I translate doujinshi from Japanese into English for fun (open to commission suggestions). Contrary to rumours spread by malicious instigators between 2010 and 2014, I have never been part of 4chan staff. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
