About Me
I'm Premeditated Chaos, also known as PMC. On Discord, where I am a mod, I go by PMC_x. The accounts PMC, PMC_x, and Premedicated Chaos are my doppelgangers. I use this name exclusively on Wikipedia, so in the unlikely event that you come across another Premeditated Chaos elsewhere, it isn't me. I have been a Wikipedian since 2003, and an admin since 2004. I was active on-and-off for a number of years thereafter until returning in January 2017. In December 2017 I was elected to the Arbitration Committee for a two-year term, which ended in December 2019. I had the checkuser and oversight permissions as a result of being elected to ArbCom, but have since handed them back in.
I originally started this second phase of my wiki-career by de-orphaning random articles, which led me to branching hyperfixations on Georgian mythology and Inuit clothing. From there, I developed an interest in writing about fashion, which since 2023 has seen me focused on trying to get the many fashion collections of Alexander McQueen to Featured Topic status. You can see my progress here: as of July 2026 I have two remaining redlinks to write, three articles to rewrite and GAN, and eleven GAs to FAC, for a total of 16 articles before I'm done.Views and Philosophy
I consider myself a mergist with a bent towards deletionism, particularly when it comes to stubs imported from old public domain sources like Chambers' Cyclopædia, Encyclopedia Britannica, and the Catholic Encyclopedia. That's not to say that these sources aren't useful, but many of the remaining articles we have which were imported from those sources would do better merged elsewhere.
When responding to requests for undeletion, I typically prefer not to restore deleted material to mainspace unless there are reliable sources available to indicate that we shouldn't have deleted the item in the first place. I am usually willing to restore good-faith content that lacks notability to draft or userspace, or to email a copy. I will almost never restore promotional or UPE content for any reason.
I believe SNGs should be used narrowly, to exclude non-notable content rather than to force the inclusion of content on a broad scope. I support the expansion of the NCORP criteria, and would support most other efforts to expand SNGs to be more exclusive. We should be focused on making our existing content better rather than just making more of it, especially when "more" so often constitutes two-line stubs.
Last but not least, allow me to get a little sentimental and quote Wired: "Wikipedia is built on the personal interests and idiosyncrasies of its contributors. You could even say it is built on love."
