Hello, I am Cowman. I was coordinator of the Mediation Cabal for a time after turning it into a three-person position, but I've since passed on the position. I am more of a Wikignome, dealing mainly with copyediting and cleanup. I also revert vandalism I happen to stumble across by glancing at the recent changes list or my watchlist every so often, though I don't consider that my main role here by any means. As of August 11, 2006, I am an administrator.
I am often in IRC at #Wikipedia, #Wikipedia-en, and #Wikipedia-medcab under the nick Cowman109 and Cowman109|Away if you need me there.
