About Me
I'm a eighteen-year-old autonomous individual living in Canberra, Australia, and currently drifting in that limbo between school and university. For some unfathomable reason, my school gave me a beer mug (a freakin' enormous one, at that) as a leaving gift. Apparently they don't know me at all.
I usually contribute on an Apple iBook G4 running Mac OS X. I also use an old eMac as my secondary machine, and my dad's iMac G5 whenever he's not looking. My primary browser is Camino. I have a passable knowledge of Visual Basic and am trying to learn Objective-C, emphasis on trying.
I am also an author (not an editor) at Larry Sanger's Citizendium pilot. I don't pass WP:BIO, although I've been cited as a source at Wikipedia. Take that as you will. :)

RfA Standards
I have no numerical or highly specific standards that I require from candidates for adminship - frankly, they're a farce. Instead, I have a few very simple requirements from all candidates, all of which are passed by default:
- The candidate show a basic degree of courteousy. They must be extremely careful never to violate WP:NPA and especially WP:BITE, and must never make direct insults toward other users.
- They must demonstrate that they will not actively harm Wikipedia through their actions as administrator. This means, simply, that they show a basic level of experience, and reasonably good judgement.
- Finally, they must show a willingness to learn, especially in the case of newer candidates. I'm happy enough to support a candidate with fewer than 1,000 edits at Wikipedia (as arbitrary a requirement as there can possibly be), provided that they show a willingness to learn: applying for admin coaching at any time before or during the RfA is a good way to satisfy this, provided that the candidate intends to actually go through a process of mentorship.

Original Barnstar
I couldn't figure out which barnstar was the best one (they need a sparkly one, dammit!). Eventually I decided you can't beat the classics. So here's the original barnstar for the extensive work on WP:ER – I try to pop in a good word there wherever I can, but I always find you've beaten me to it! — riana_dzasta wreak havoc|damage report 23:04, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
