I am happy to help with any legitimate request, however, please be sure you offer support for your request. If you are requesting an action regarding a specific user, please use the {{user|Username}} template. If your request involves utilizing restricted permission (for example, protecting a page or blocking a user for more than three reverts), there is probably an established process for making your request. If you need access to a Wikipedia article that has been deleted, ask me. If it's not a copyright violation, libel or similar, I will make the text available to you. Note that using the text to recreate the deleted content is speedyable, and using it to keep it hanging around in your userspace has gotten editors penalized before. But that's your problem. If you're here to email me about a block, please make sure you include your user name and IP address. The easiest way to do this is simply to copy the message you get when you attempt to edit. If you don't include this information, there's nothing I can do to review your block. |

I used to come here every so often to look things up, but honestly, it never occurred to me to edit something until one day a little red link next to requests caught my eye. I started a stub at New York Women's House of Detention -- it took me two hours to finish because of all the time I spent through the Manual of Style and other tutorials. I hope I've come a long way since then. I tend to be more of an inclusionist when it comes down to it. There's exceptions like vanity and nonsense, but if an article has merit, I'd much rather fix it than wipe it clean and start over. A good example is Citrus production -- makes sense as an encyclopedic article, but was so poorly done that it was afd'd. When I stumbled across it as a short page, I decided that it could be easily fixed up, even by a corn state girl with almost no knowledge on the subject. |

My account name used to be Jareth, but after a run in with a certain cretin who thinks people should use their real names on Wikipedia. I was pretty disgusted that the best he could do was post info from my userpage and horribly mangle the picture I posted, so I changed my account name to help him out. Doesn't seem to have worked though. I work with WP:OTRS which sometimes leads me to make strange looking edits. Please ask if you're not sure why an edit, deletion or block happened. If you're here about a decision I made that you believe was an error, please feel free to undo it and drop me a note. I would ask that in cases where the edit summary includes OTRS, please ask first before reverting my change. We all make mistakes and Wikipedia is the one place a whole bunch of other people can cover our ass. |
