Admin Stuff This user is an administrator on the English Wikipedia. (verify) This editor is listed at Highly Active Users, and is willing to provide you with assistance and advice.

I first started editing Wikipedia in July 2007, and became a sysop in January 2008. Being a sysop means that I can do a few extra things that other editors cannot do: e.g. block and unblock users, protect and unprotect pages, delete pages, and edit fully protected pages, among others. A record of my administrative actions can be found here. I am also involved with a few wikiprojects to varying extents. I spend most of my time within the scope of WP:SHIPS and WP:MILHIST, but also stray into a few other projects which relate to my interests.

Significant Contributions

• I have tagged/assessed over 3300 articles that come under the purview of WikiProject Ships and/or the Military History WikiProject during Assessment drives from September 2007 to January 2008. I've continued to assess articles after these drive concluded and my cumulative count now exceeds 6100 articles.
• Nominated USS Texas (BB-35) for Good Article status with the author TomStar81 (talk · contribs). Further expansion is underway in advance of nominating for Featured status.
• Article development on USS Illinois (BB-65) from Stub to A-class, but did not pass FAC, was revamped twice by TomStar81 and is now a Featured Article.
• My current long-term goals here are expanding USS Texas (BB-35) and USS Alabama (BB-60) to featured and good article status respectively.
