My real name is Geoffrey Plourde. Feel free to call me Geoff or Geoffrey, either one works. I currently am a honor student/sophomore at a charter high school in California. After High School, I am definitely headed to a four year college for a undergraduate degree, probably in business administration. Following that, I will most likely go to law school. I spent two years as a member of the Boy Scouts of America, receiving leadership training in 2003. I hold certificates in Dreamweaver, Flash, Illustrator, and Photoshop, and do occasionally engage in photo editing and restoration. Also, I have taken a seminar in Advanced Excel, so if your spreadsheets are a pain, I might be able to help.
I first edited here as an anonymous user in November 2005. In May 2006, I registered under the username Geo.plrd which I used until June 2007. As Geo.plrd, I completely misunderstood the dynamics of WP, leading to myriad screwups. Within my first few days of being here, I attempted to gain adminship and appointment to Medcom, positions that I was neither qualified or mature enough for. I also proposed several groups that were complex and convoluted for the purpose of monitoring admins. I was appointed Overseer of MOTD and served until the Community decided to abolish the position, a decision that I did not handle very well. I served as a Mediator for Medcab and after several screwups (including a case that went to Arbcom) we parted ways. The only thing I am proud of from this time period is my service with AMA. I believe that I managed to assist others effectively in navigating the morass of dispute resolution.
In February 2007, I went to another wiki, Conservapedia. There I developed my "people skills" that had been sadly lacking and rapidly was promoted to Sysop, Siteadmin, and Checkuser as well as Senior Advisor. As a Sysop there, I experienced just how hard it is to manage a public wiki, and gained an appreciation of and respect for WP Administrators. I paused to reflect on how my actions had affected others and was horrified. I left apologies on several users talk pages and am striving to be a better person and make Wikipedia a better place.
As my dispute resolution skills have improved, I will occasionally mediate disputes when Medcab is backlogged. If you need help with anything, please just ask.
