"So you've been chucked out of the library for scribbling in the books, welcome". Even if you haven't been chucked out, I still welcome you to my user page. I've been a Wikipedian since the beginning of 2006, and an administrator since March 2007. I'm one of the gnomes working behind the scenes, helping with the insignificant, boring tasks that keep Wikipedia alive.

Unless you want me specifically, you're better off posting your queries at the administrators' noticeboard or one of the other boards listed there, where other admins can fulfill requests when I'm not here.

About me

I'm a 16 year old male living in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia. In 2006 I received the NSW School Certificate at Wagga Wagga High School. This year, I am in year 11, studying my prelim, which leads on to the Higher School Certificate next year. Even though I don't do it that often, I'm very interested in road and rail transport. You'll often see me working on articles about CityRail and CountryLink, as well as other things. I've also taken an interest in Microsoft Windows, keeping things in order. My other major activity here is being a WikiGnome, doing all the little tasks that, while not significant on their own, become valuable as many.

Picture of the day

Mexican Wolf

A captive Mexican Wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico, USA. This critically endangered subspecies of the Gray Wolf once ranged from central Mexico to the Southwestern United States. In 1980, the last five known surviving members were captured to save the species. Now, over 300 wolves are taking part in a wolf reintroduction program, with at least fifty individuals in the wild.

Daniel Webster

Daniel Webster was a leading American statesman during the nation's antebellum era. Webster first rose to regional prominence through his defense of New England shipping interests. His increasingly nationalistic views and the effectiveness with which he articulated them led Webster to become one of the most famous orators and influential Whig leaders of the Second Party System. As an attorney he served as legal counsel in several cases that established important constitutional precedents that bolstered the authority of the Federal government. As Secretary of State, Webster negotiated the Webster-Ashburton Treaty that established the definitive Eastern border between the United States and Canada. Primarily recognized for his Senate tenure, Webster was a key figure in the institution's "Golden Age". So well known was his skill as a Senator throughout this period that Webster became a third of what was and still is known today as the "Great Triumvirate", with his colleagues Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun. His "Reply to Haynes" (1830) was generally regarded as "the most eloquent speech ever delivered in Congress." Though Webster made three bids he never achieved the Presidency, his final attempt failing in part because of his compromises. Like his attempts at gaining the White House, Webster's efforts at steering the nation away from civil war toward a definite peace would ultimately prove futile. (more...)
