Welcome to my user page. I became an administrator on December 30, 2005. If you need any administrator-related assistance, feel free to leave a message on my talk page.

[edit] Personal
Personally, I see the Wikipedia are more of a great organisational source than really a informational source. You can find most of this information anywhere, but there's few places where all this stuff is connected. (See Six degrees of separation, Wikipedia style).
[edit] Firefox extension
For people using the Mozilla Firefox browser, there's a great Wikipedia extension available here.
[edit] Parody
Similar to how Nirvana felt that they had "made it" after Weird Al recorded "Smells Like Nirvana" (parodying "Smells Like Teen Spirit"), I believe the Wikipedia has made it when The Onion satirizes it. Interestingly enough, The Onion's satire involves "Weird Al" too.
[edit] BJAODN
My favorite BJAODN pages are listed here. If you find anything funny, add a recommendations heading here and add it. =)

- There was a interesting pair of message boxes left here
- You have to be careful of threats like this.
[edit] Wiki work
You can see all my contributions here. Most of the contributions are minor, as it's mostly correcting links. Judging by the fact that most of the things I'm listing here are stubs really, my standards are still quite low for mention. Most of the time, I find some section of articles that need work and clean an array of articles over a period of time. As an aside, when I'm creating articles (or am basically the second person looking at an article), I like make breaks after each sentence to made it easier to review edits.
My first edit here on October 28, 2004:
I also created the same username on the Simple English Wikipedia. I have recently become an administrator there and am starting to do more work there right now.
[edit] Started
I've started the following pages:
Law School Admissions Council (my first true contribution), Bagdad (movie), Shock (movie), Vincenzo Viviani, the Antonio da Sangallo disambiguation page, Governors of Mississippi Winthorp Sargent and John J. Pettus, and Contaminated haemophilia blood products (in progress; needs a better name!).
I've also created and populated Category:Good Times actors and Category:Seinfeld actors, along with categories for Category:Blade: The Series actors, episodes and characters.
Haven't really created a lot.
[edit] Relatively major editing
- Reorganized Jesse Pomeroy into chronological order.
- Improved Boys Don't Cry (band) from substub to a mere stub.
- After finding his Congressional Bio, I added a lot to John Rea.
- Moved all the Kings of Assyria from Category:Assyria to Category:Assyrian kings.
- Cleaned up and restructured Category:Disestablishments by year and Category:Paintings by year.
- Formatted all the citations at List of video games considered the worst ever, Transformers and Foreign relations of Western Sahara.
- Built up Name Your Own Price from this to this.
- Built up Chicago's Persian heritage crisis from this to this.
- Added book cover and references, building The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas from this to this.
- Built up Paul Salopek from this to this.

[edit] Minor work

- Try to standardize the format for categories and articles at Category:Record charts, like the title "Number one", etc.
