[edit] Intro to nhprman
My name is Stephen and I like to Wiki.
I live in Northern New England and I serve as president of a local non-profit organization.
These days I'm more active on Wikinfo and on various "Wikia," formerly known as Wikicities, than I am here.
I oppose the "cleansing" of Wikipedia of all images and other "superfluous" content, often based on flimsy, self-referential arguments created by deltionists. In short, I am a proud Inclusionist.
