Hi and welcome to my userpage. My name is Andrew Garrett, and I am, contrary to popular belief, not an administrator. This page has been vandalised twelve times. Thanks to all who revert vandalism to my userpage. Thanks, Werdna (talk)

[edit] What I do
I started off working on articles, although I very quickly became interested in RC Patrol. Following this, I worked mainly on AFD and RFA. Recently, however, I've returned to mainly article editing, contributing significantly to the articles on Knox Grammar School and TA Spring. The most important Wikipedia policies to me are 3RR (I personally follow the 1RR), No personal attacks, and Verifiability.
[edit] RfA Nominees
So far, I've nominated 3 (I think) candidates for Adminship. Two of these candidacies passed with very little opposition (one oppose voter in each), and the third had no consensus with approximately 67% support, due to his stance on Fair Use, and an incident where he inadvertantly revealed personal information about Katefan0 during an arbitration case. These users are:
- AmiDaniel. Passed (169/1/5)
- Gurch. Passed (65/1/4)
- Simetrical. No Consensus (77/38/6) but no significant opposition until 75.
I, generally speaking, nominate those who I see around a lot and I believe will be exceptional candidates. If you believe you have been overlooked for adminship, you may contact me and ask me about a nomination, but please do not be offended if I would rather not nominate you - I tend to nominate candidates of the highest quality and with a lot of experience. I will not nominate many candidates who I would support in an RfA.
[edit] Contacting Me
The preferred way to contact me is on irc. I use the nick Werdna and am generally in #wikipedia (channel operator), #wikipedia-en, #wikimedia, #wikimedia-au, #wikipedia-1.0 and #wikimedia-tech.
You can contact me via email using Wikipedia email.
Obviously.
If you have Jabber or Google Talk; my jid is Andrew remove this at epstone remove this dot remove this net (apologies for the mangled address; but you can never be too careful. Werdna (talk) 03:25, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

The Billington Software Develpment Barnstar |
I, Michael Billington, award you the Billington Software Develpment Barnstar for creating Werdnabot. That bot is so damn smart I'm suprised it hasn't re-written itself in assembly. Keep that bot running!. If you liked this barnstar, then please leave a message on My talk page so it looks like everyone likes me. |
