While I do occasionally write articles, I often reserve my skills for what I'm good at: copyediting. I am happy to report that the League of Copyeditors has reduced the backlog of over 1500 articles in need of a copyedit down to a standing stack of under one hundred. I am both humbled and honored that a project I started has achieved such an outstanding feat. Every single member of the team has my gratitude, and for that matter so does anyone that clicks the "edit this page" button in the hopes of copyediting an article to bring it one step closer to Wikipedia's standards of excellence. Since then I have had less and less of a hand in the day to day operations of the Wikiproject as it seems that every bit of the time I can give to Wikipedia is being used up elsewhere. My fears of the project going to hell have been consistently unfounded though; several others have taken up my slack and taken the LocE a long way from where it started as just one of my user subpages.
I jump around working wherever I happen to be needed, although the areas that I put most of my effort into are WP:AIV, CAT:CSD and WP:RFU. I also try to participate in every new administrator request. This is a very important part of the project and only a bare minimum of editors actually take part in this necessary process. (YES, I'm talking to YOU.)
My edits are not always perfect but are always made with the best intentions. If I made a mistake somewhere then I apologize and am happy to discuss it with you. If I copyedited your article and chopped it all to hell, I only ask that you take some time and consider the changes before you get upset about it. Likewise, when I patrol the recent changes I occasionally revert something as vandalism when it turns out not to be. I am only human and when I'm reverting a hundred incidents of vandalism a day, I occasionally make a change that was not warranted.
Work in progress can be found in my sandbox.
I have written the articles for Francesca Gagnon and Guy Laliberté. I've also done a complete rewrite of the Cirque du Soleil article which as resulted in its promotion to GA status. The next project that I'm preparing to start on is a rewrite and expansion of the Mission Inn article. My daughter and I are going to go take a tour of the place in a couple weeks, as well as get some pictures and buy a couple books on its history.
In the interest of full disclosure, I also have a daughter that edits Wikipedia from the same computers and IP addresses as I do. To avoid even the slightest hint of impropriety, I treat her edits as though she were a sock of my own account. I do not participate or close any AFD that she is participating in. I do not involve myself in any dispute that she is in. I do not !vote in any RfA that she chooses to express an interest in.

| I'm only a newly registered user and member of the Copyeditor's League, but during my time contributing anonymously I would continuously find your name attached to the best copyediting work I've ever seen. Particularly an article that I was one of the first contributors on: Lenny McLean. Thank you so much for your hard work. :-) Beckysdream 16:07, 25 June 2007 (UTC) |

| Giving you this barnstar because you gave me a barnstar. And you have beaten me to many edits, using the rollback button. My rollback button does not work so I end up using the undo button. NHRHS2010 Talk 02:36, 26 July 2007 (UTC) |

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Too many times spent working in RC sees a vandal given 24 hours...just enough time off to come back at the same time tomorrow. Six months following 4 blocks of a week seems more than fair. Thanks!
