Hello, I'm Heimstern Läufer, AKA Nat. I live in Goleta, near Santa Barbara, California. I've been a member of Wikipedia since January 2006 and have been active since August 2006 or so.

[edit] Administrator

On 16 February 2007, my RfA closed successfully, with 61 users supporting my candidacy, none opposed and two neutral, and I was made an adminstrator. As my privilege of holding this position is based on the communties trust in me, I wish to use the admin tools such that I continue to earn that trust. If you have a concern about my use of an administrative function, please leave me a note and we can discuss. I'm human, I do make mistakes.

[edit] Interests

I'm passionate about classical music, particularly the music of Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, Weber, Wagner and Mahler. I also have a great love for Opera and for that reason contribute to the Opera WikiProject. I currently have a strong interest in the article Joseph Haydn, which I'd like to get to GA status (current project: getting citations with lots of help from Opus33.

Another, and rather tangentally related interest of mine is China. I spent the summer of 2006 in Chengdu, Sichuan and am now quite fascinated with the country (although I certainly wish the government of the People's Republic of China wouldn't block 'Kipedia).

Apparently I know someone who is notable: I'm an old friend of Shawn McDonald.
