Welcome to my user page. I became an administrator on December 30, 2005. If you need any administrator-related assistance, feel free to leave a message on my talk page.

[edit] Personal
Personally, I like Wikipedia more as a great organizational source than really as an informational source. You can find most of this information anywhere, but there's few places where all this stuff is connected. (See Six degrees of separation, Wikipedia style).
[edit] Parody
Similar to how Nirvana felt that they had "made it" after Weird Al recorded "Smells Like Nirvana" (parodying "Smells Like Teen Spirit"), I believe the Wikipedia has made it when The Onion satirizes it. Interestingly enough, The Onion's satire involves "Weird Al" too.
[edit] Wiki work
You can see all my contributions here. Most of the contributions are minor, as it's mostly correcting links. Judging by the fact that most of the things I'm listing here are stubs really, my standards are still quite low for mention. Most of the time, I find some section of articles that need work and clean an array of articles over a period of time. As an aside, when I'm creating articles (or am basically the second person looking at an article), I like make breaks after each sentence to made it easier to review edits.
My first edit here on October 28, 2004:
I also created the same username on the Simple English Wikipedia. I have recently become an administrator there and am starting to do more work there right now.
[edit] Started
I've started the following pages:
Law School Admissions Council (my first true contribution), Bagdad (movie), Shock (movie), Vincenzo Viviani, the Antonio da Sangallo disambiguation page, Governors of Mississippi Winthorp Sargent and John J. Pettus, Contaminated haemophilia blood products (in progress; needs a better name!), Theophilus Thompson, and William H. Reynolds.
I've also created and populated categories for Category:Blade: The Series and characters.
Haven't really created a lot.
