I have made numerous contributions to Wikipedia, mostly in bringing articles to featured or good status; I am an administrator. I lately seem to have found a niche editing and improving articles about the Pixies. I created the Pixies taskforce to co-ordinate things, and am a member of its parent project, the Alternative Music Wikiproject. I also maintain the alternative music portal, and run a bot to update the project's peer review page.
You may want to take a look at my statistics and my barnstars. I've also got some thoughts about featured articles and how to go about writing them, which I will finish someday. By the way, I'm happy to help anyone to get up to speed with contributing to Wikipedia; everyone has something to contribute and the project always needs more experts. I'm also available in other languages; see the sidebar for more.
