My laptop has decided that it hates me and so, though I can continue editing, I will not be active on IRC for the time being.

Greetings. I am, as of 10 April, 2007, an administrator, (verify) so feel free to contact me if I can help you with anything. I was a regular editor for a reasonable amount of time before that, signing up on 10 March 2006. I delve in and out of things- I write a little, I do a fair bit of new page patrol, spend a lot of time with candidates for speedy deletion (including images), maintain a fairly large watchlist, join in discussions- you can find me all over the place. The subjects I write about are similar- I bounce around Dungeons & Dragons, heavy metal music, other genres of music, my local area and whatever I'm interested in at that time. I get bored if I write about the same kind of thing too much. Leave me a message if you like, I sign in daily unless something major stands in my way. I'm also reachable by email or on IRC.

I have an account on Commons (see userpage) which I don't use much, and I have recently started using the English Wiktionary, (see userpage) which I may end up becoming active on.

Real life

In case you're wondering, I do edit under my real name. In the real world, I have just finished exams for AS levels in religious studies, government and politics, English language and 16th century history, at Barrow Sixth Form College, and have a part-time job at Waterstone’s. I am from Ireleth, in Cumbria, England, and have done my share of travelling. I am currently 17, my date of birth being 25 October, 1990. I enjoy playing pen and paper RPGs and listening to music. Religiously, I'm strongly atheist, although maybe a worshipper of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Politically, I don't want to label myself, but I am certainly a strong believer social freedoms and a moderate believer in economic freedoms. If I had a vote, I would probably give it to the Liberal Democrats, as they the party I find myself closest too in my quiet little Labour safe-seat. I'm not really affiliated with any other organisations or websites worth mentioning.

IRC

I should be online the Wikipedia IRC channels whenever I'm editing, and sometimes when I'm not. I don't leave my laptop on when I'm not about, so if I am signed on, I am probably present. However, my connection flickers a lot, so please don't be offended if I sign off mid-conversation. The following channels are the ones I will usually be on-

Best articles

These are my 'best' articles, so defined because they have been through a good article nomination, been a featured article candidate or appeared on the Main Page. They are arranged in chronological order.

The AFD Barnstar

Even though I haven't seen you nominate any articles to AfD, I notice you nominate a lot of articles for speedy deletion and proposed deletion. I know from personal experience that that by itself sometimes creates conflict. For your boldness, I give you this barnstar. Kannie | talk 19:30, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Along with NawlinWiki, Cobaltbluetony and myself, you have been speedying new rubbish articles for a significant time. It's depressing having to go through so much, but have this barnstar to help make up for it. Stifle (talk) 19:33, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
