The real world me

Me, in extreme closeup

In the real world, I'm a 32-year-old former software developer-turned-student living in Long Island, New York in the United States. I'm attending Stony Brook University, where I am working toward my PhD in pathology and immunology.

Finally, by sheer cosmic coincidence, I happen to share a birthday with the Illustrious Jimbo Wales, but so does Garrison Keillor, David Duchovny, and the Purple Heart. |-

The Wikipedia me

|- | I am an administrator, and a staunch advocate for boldness in recognizing the hard work of others and of WikiLove in general. I'm one of the longest-serving editors on Wikipedia, my first edit (as ClockworkTroll) having been made on 20 June 2004.

Finally, when I'm here, I'm fiercely apolitical. I believe that truth and honesty – whether we like it or not – are far more useful than ideology.

If you wish to contact me, feel free to make a note on my talk page. |-

Significant contributions

|- | My general tendency is to edit a relatively small number of articles, making large and often exhaustively researched edits. My first major project started when I noticed that the article for sarin was short and ugly, which got me deeply entrenched in rewriting nearly all articles relating in any way with chemical warfare, and which resulted in my first featured article. Since then, I have significantly contributed to a number of articles that have gone on to become featured articles.

One of my proudest moments, however, was in drafting the prototypes for the first template standardisation process. My Coffee Roll color scheme was based on my earlier design for WikiProject Beer, and can now be seen in action on talk pages and policy pages just about everywhere. |- |-
