A UESPWiki – Sua fonte de The Elder Scrolls desde 1995

I'm Aristeo! Welcome to this user page! I am not active on this project anymore, but many of my creations still exist here, including the Parchment theme which is still the main theme for the website and home page; many of the policies involving openness, transparency, and inclusiveness (including the policy that allows you to modify / distribute the content of the site); the idea for and eventual adoption of the plan to the centralize the editing community; and a large number of other random things (the walkthrough style, the editing tools at the bottom of the editing page, and occasionally even non-meta content).

I am also a former administrator from a previous generation of wiki editors back in 2006-2007 that oversaw the transformation of this site from a simple set of Elder Scrolls guides created by Dave Humphrey (a fine man) to the powerhouse of an encyclopedia it still is today. I would even be so brave as to think of myself as the former mentor of many of the senior editors who are still here. Unfortunately, some inter-community disputes led to a fork in the community that I led, although the people on my side of the fork mostly became bored and moved onto other projects.

Projects

I have a soft spot in my heart for anything free, transparent, friendly, open, and inclusive, and if there's a place with those ingredients somewhere out there on the Internet, you can likely find me there.

My pet project right now is Epic Chat, which is a friendly IRC network that aims to provide transparency and inclusiveness to chatroom networks and give people a friendly place they can call home. You can even find me on #epic-chat if you want to say hello. Right now, the network is mostly a close-nit community of about 20 people and a total of about 50 people on various channels. It's not too big yet, but my staff and I are working hard to build on both the technology and our user base. :)
