"Why don't we have featured articles yet?"

Hello. I'm a guy. I'm an American. I'm an administrator. That's all you really need to know. I like helping out with categorizing the uncategorized pages (which is what I do 90% of the time). I'm a huge fan of categorization. I do have an alternate username, The Doctor, for the purpose of editing on public computers. That account is not admin-flagged.
