About me:

edit

I'm a 30 something Wikipedian who has been on the projects for over a decade. Before starting to work for the foundation I focused on cross-wiki vandalism and abuse as a volunteer as well as working on the volunteer response team answering emails and phone messages sent in from the public. In the course of that work I gained the communities confidence enough to be elected as an Administrator on this wiki and others as well as a Global administrator and Checkuser on other WM wikis. Now I diddle around (both logged in and logged out) fixing articles and fighting vandalism as I have time and working on legal cases on Wikisource.

If you want to know more about me I've written more on my Other user page (staff) or feel free to email me!
