User:Anonymous Dissident/About

Most people call me Josh. Others don't. On the English Wikipedia, among other places, they call me Anonymous Dissident (talk • message • contribs • page moves • deleted contribs • summary • count • total • logs • block log • block • email) .

I have been editing the English Wikipedia since approximately 09:19, 17 January 2007. In September of that year, the community saw fit to trust me with a +sysop flag, and I am now an administrator. This means nothing. I just have a few extra tabs at the top of the page that (hopefully) will allow me to better the encyclopedia. If you need help, I'd be only to happy to fill any requests or provide assistance.

I identify as a cynic and, according to some people, including myself, I am a hypocrite. I am also a steadfast realist; optimism provides false hope, and pessimism... well, realism and pessimism often intertwine, I find. I am apolitical; I don't think anyone's found the correct formula yet.

I am also a contributor to several other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation:

• Meta-wiki (sysop; bureaucrat)
• MediaWiki (sysop)
• Commons (sysop)
• Wikispecies (sysop; bureaucrat)
• English Wikibooks (rollbacker; patroller)
• English Wikisource (none)

I can be contacted in several ways:

• On my user talk page
• On IRC as AnonDiss (#Wikipedia-en, #Wikipedia-en-admins)
• On MSN (Chippi_75 at hotmail dot com)
• On Google Talk (AnonDiss at gmail dot com)
• By Email
