If you need to know anything, a lot of things about me can probably be deduced from my contributions. Things that are pretty important tend to be in my userboxes.

I am the editing heir to several anons. I edited as an anon for several months before deciding to join, which was the only way I could start Tasman (VTA), my first creation after the prohibition on anons starting articles.

I am not as active as I used to be - more of a reactive editor, fixing problems as I see them. One particular pet peeve of mine is the carelessness with which people (don't) check for double redirects; another is using unencyclopedic style (I sometimes rewrite whole sections of really bad articles).

My first image upload, though I could not get it to work in svg format coming out of Inkscape, so unfortunately it was not in scalable vector format. It has now been modified into a new SVG version for various reasons.
