What I do here

I spend a lot of time helping with impasses- third opinions, Requests for Comment, and the Mediation Cabal.

I also comment frequently in AfDs and RfDs. One of my biggest pet peeves in the process is the tagging of brand new articles. I go by WP:INSPECTOR (and very much like the idea of WP:HOTTIE). In that vein, I love doing this.

You might find me at Editor Assistance or WP:Reference desk/Computing.

Of course, I also do editing. I've tried to do some maintenance as well as requested articles. If I made a stub, and seriously misinterpreted something, it's probably because I know nothing about the topic, and was trying to write off of sources only. Wikipedia is all about the editors, so feel free to be bold and make the article better.

I support the right to edit by IP address. See WP:Welcome anonymous editing and the rejected proposal, Wikipedia:Editors should be logged in users.

ContribsTab

I've made one technical contribution to wikipedia, ContribsTab. It's a user script; check it out.

What I'm proud of

My crowning achievement as of now was the survival of Kingdom of Humanity through its deletion discussion. It was IP vandalized; the IP then nominated it for deletion. The Kingdom is is in the area of China; after some digging, I found that a blocked user with an anti-China bias was making the mess. I exposed this, and the article stayed. A couple of people voted without looking for the pre-IP-vandalized version; always check these things! I was credited with "dilligence", for which I'm flattered, and got some great help from some users.

Uncredited articles

I've taken too long a few times and didn't get credit for an article I wrote. So, here they are:

• The Del-Vikings, as User talk:172.153.43.63
• The Manhattans, as User talk:172.148.87.131

My start on Wikipedia

I've tracked down my very first edits as two IPs:

• 172.151.196.140
• 172.141.62.115

If I'm remembering right, my very first edit was to create the Adventure Game Toolkit article. That's assuming I didn't do something before this, and can't remember it :-) It also seems that I created the article for my hometown and surname, neither of which I'd remembered doing. Looking back, the latter was mainly OR, and I'd mixed up some as well.

April Fools, 2008

I launched a prank that got reverted in less than half an hour. Does nobody have a sense of humor? Anyway, here is what I did:

Oh yeah- check out this other one that I put my two cents into.
