Joshua "icedventi" Krimmel is a longtime lurker, newly-dawned contributor/editor of the Minecraft Wiki. He started his long-running, somewhat-illustrious career of wiki editing on Wikipedia, and gradually expanded into his various fandoms. These include numerous edits on the Tardis, Glee, and WoW wiki(a)s. He usually starts his post-lurking stage with talk page discussions to get a feel for the community.

Modus Operandi
Joshua, as a long-time Wikipedia contributor/editor, has a tendency to adopt the Wikipedia Editing Guidelines as the default. While he usually takes a couple of weeks to get a feel for the common guidelines of the community at large, since all groups are different, he is frequently bold in his edits.

Contact
Joshua believes in transparency, free-form conversation, and communication. His talk page is a wonderful way to get in touch with him. He also asks that, when it comes to his edits, you assume good faith, whether the wiki suggests you do, or not. While bold, Joshua will always have the best of intentions with any change he makes. If there is a problem, discussion and debate are always invited and appreciated. Likewise, his email is always available for any user who might wish to have a more private discussion. It should be noted however, that every email he sends and receives is archived for future retrieval and is subject to disclosure, should the need arise.

Biography
Joshua was born a poor little black girl in the projects of Kilkeel, Ireland, United Kingdom. The son of American Air Force personell, Joshua grew up on European AF Bases, and has a pretty regrettable accent that is best described as a mix of North Irish and Scottish.

At the age of 15, he moved to the United States, and lived in Omaha, Nebraska, where he finished out what the Americans call, High School; before moving on to Arizona for University in 2003. By 2008 he'd finished his studies, and graduated with a degree in Proto-Linguistics and Vocal Music Performance/Education, with minors in Intermediate Education and Computer Programming.

He currently makes his living as a translator for educational and religious institutions. When he's not sitting in a dark room with a light table, translating documents that have a tendency to crumble at the touch, he sits in a dark room on either his macbook, or mac mini, playing video games and lurking through forums/wikis.

Discovery of Minecraft
Joshua is new to Minecraft, relatively. His discovery was one of great personal meaning, and as such, the game now has a very dear place in his heart. He's been quoted, in an email to Notch as saying that, "Minecraft saved [his] life."

If you're nice enough, he might be willing to share the story with you personally.
