I mean, if you want a lesson on futility give the F1 WikiProject a visit, hopefully your face can survive the facepalm and headdesks
GyaroMaguus (Pronounciation: /dʒəˈroʊ mɑːɡuːs/ (jia-RO-mah-guus) or /ˈɡɑːroʊ mɑːɡuːs/ (GAH-oh-mah-guus); alternatively written Gyaro–Maguus; on Wikia as Gyarados Magnus; real name Stuart Stalley (/ˈstæliː/; STA-lee); birthday is 4 June) is an English Wikian, Wikipedian, wannabe Comedian, Formula One know-it-all, amateur statistician, Tweeter, QPR fan and an all-round crazy person who appears to have a knack of resolving disputes.
Anyway, I had been a reader of Wikipedia for a long time, and on 1 June 2012, I decided to make an account.
I am an experienced user of Wikia, being behind the salvation of The Formula 1 Wiki, of which I am the Jimbo of.
I initially edited on the Pokémon Wiki, before making my own, then taking over the F1 Wiki.
My real name does not have anything to do with my username. It comes from "Gyarados Magnus", my Wikia username. This is derived from a Magikarp I had in Pokémon Sapphire, called "Magnus" (I was giving my Pokémon real names). This evolved into a Gyarados. This happened again in Pearl, despite a different naming strategy. I called myself "GyaroMaguus" on Wikipedia because I did not want to mislead people with the "Magnus" part of my username. In fact, the letters "G" and "M" are not in my real name at all.
I have a vast knowledge of Formula One, with a good amount of knowledge on Association Football and many other assorted subjects. Despite this, I rarely edit away from F1.
My signature has a link to this page in the word "Gyaro", and to my talk page in the word "Maguus". It has an en dash in the middle, and clicking on that en dash links to my contributions.
I have potential admin qualities (as shown on the F1 Wiki), but not too sure that I would be comfortable being an admin here. I will never nominate myself.
My edits on Wikipedia typically are maintainance edits and fixes. If no-one has talked to me recently, then I achieving my goals on Wikipedia.
This is more or less all I do: correcting hyphens into en dashes (- to –) and double hyphens (--) into em dashes (—); I change text to do with links which have brackets in them and showing; correct use of italics (including titles); references with incorrectly-written parameters; and discussions regarding F1 articles.
I have a habit of forgetting to mark edits which would class as minor as minor edits. Apologies.
I was taught Latin by Ricagambeda (J. Shaw) as a Year 7 in Wilson's School. I am a cousin of Rupert Quiney, a professional ice hockey player and a former U19 GB international. I have met David Nutt, was once on stage with Joe Pasquale, and have had a Tumblr ask about signing boobs and another regarding a Chrome extension (here is said extension) replied to by Wil Wheaton.
My surname just so happens be the stage name of Stalley, an American rapper. I am not a fan.
