Quote of the day

"Rogues are preferable to imbeciles because they sometimes take a rest."

~ Alexandre Dumas

Wikipedia is built on us trusting each other and on human understanding and forgiveness of errors. -- Jimbo Wales March 2007.

The very act of citing WP:AGF may assume that the opponent is assuming bad faith. -- Brian0918 March 2006.

Wikipedia is the ladle that helps us drink from the fountain of knowledge. -- Jreferee September 2007[1] (Mod. of New Student Starfish quote.)

Hello! I'm Jreferee, an administrator on Wikipedia.
Why I'm here

I first encountered Wikipedia on the web when I was doing some research. Wikipedia seemed to come up first on my Google searches, so I decided to check it out. I first posted on October 12, 2006. By December 2006, I realized that Consensus and Assume Good Faith were behind Wikipedia's success.

I really enjoy Wikipedia because I feel that bringing difficult to obtain information to the Internet will make this world better. Receiving Assume Good Faith responses to my goof-ups reminds me of the good all around us and consensus makes me feel like part of a team.

Interests

Like others on Wikipedia, I am your basic philomath. I practice a belief that if it is out there, it is your goal to learn/know about it. I particularly enjoy working with biographies. I get a lot of satisfaction from working with Wikipedia biography articles, particularly those of living people.

My article inclusion criteria

"Wikipedia : neutral and unbiased compilation of previously written, verifiable facts." I also take WP:BLP into account.

Other items of interest
Nifty Wikipedia tools

Kind of hard to find unless you already know about them:

Where the action is:

Wikirage is the latest and greatest Wikipedia data mining tool. This tool lists the pages in Wikipedia which are receiving the most edits per unique editor over various periods of time, such as over the last hour. With such fast editing, rollbacks, 3RRs, vandalism, etc. are likely. This site seems like a good, constantly updated watch list. There is a write up here.
