From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I love creating and improving stub articles to expand our encyclopedic coverage. I also like improving more established articles, major rewrites of messy articles, keeping an eye out for spam and vandalism, and generally tidying up the place to help make Wikipedia the most useful source of free content as it can be. When I google something worth googling and Wikipedia isn't the best result, I help make it happen.

No, I am not an administrator!!! And not really interested in being one. My wikipedia addiction is bad enough as it is, and I enjoy the freedom of being a little independent. But thanks for asking.

Yay! Barnstars!

		What a Brilliant Idea Barnstar
		For grabbing the Fair Use Rationale bull by the horns and leading us towards solutions that will make Wikipedia easier to illustrate for novice and expert alike while still safeguarding us from the evils of copyright infringement, I award this well-deserved barnstar of brilliance. -- But|seriously|folks  06:29, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

		I don't think I've ever seen such a comprehensive, detailed RFAR statement. Great work on making our policies make sense, too. And thumbs up for your tireless mainspace contributions! — xDanielx T/C 09:57, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Now how do I make these a little smaller?
