Tysto [TISS toe] is Derek Jensen, a professional writer and avid amateur photographer with an interest in genealogy and architecture. I am the operator of Tysto.com.

I believe that the purpose of an encyclopedia is to document everything that is notable, not everything that is true. I believe that non-notable articles hurt Wikipedia's performance, confuse casual users, and make it harder for people to find genuinely valuable information.
