Welcome to my userpage, all ye who enter this domain.

I am still a very green contributor to Wikipedia, but I'm eager to learn more about it and to contribute more. I see Wikipedia as a powerful ideal -- the ability for mankind to reach a consensus for the betterment of humanity.

Right now, my main accomplishments are limited mostly to finding spammy and meaningless articles and marking them for deletion -- I'm a strong advocate that non-notable things need to be kept off Wikipedia. Please, if you're thinking about making a silly page about a schoolfriend or your Myspace band that no one's heard of, please don't. It is not notable, and it makes more work for the rest of us.

However, I've also helped the following articles in significant ways:

• Confucius Institute -- I uploaded the logo to this article and cleaned it up; there's a Confucius Institute opening near where I live, and I'm planning on seeking education there.
