Note: I recently was informed that this page looks like crap in Firefox. Not sure why, as it works just fine in Safari, which is what I use. I may try to fix it at some point.

Everything you need to know about me as an admin/bureaucrat, plus everything I need to reference to be an admin/bureaucrat. ( purge)

This user has been an admin for
17 years, 5 months and 20 days.

If you're unhappy with some admin-ish thing I've done...

...I'd recommend you drop me a line on my talk page.

Actually, I'd recommend you take a deep breath, make sure I actually did screw up (entirely possible), then drop me a line.

Please, do not email me about admin stuff; I try to keep everything on-wiki if at all possible. If I've blocked you, there's always {{ unblock}}; I also keep all blocked user talk pages on my watchlist, and will check back on them a few hours after I've left my notice.

Also, I am open to administrator recall. To see my criteria for recall, read User:EVula/opining/admin recall.

My admin info!

History

I was made an administrator on November 7, 2006. My RfA closed with a vote of 62/0/0. Near as I can tell, I'm admin #1,047.

My first RfB was closed as non-consensus on July 1, 2007; the second was also closed as non-consensus on 24 December, 2007. My third RfB passed (122/1/2) on 3 June, 2008.

I was granted Oversight privs after my election on February 16, 2009.

Not a violation of the username policy. Real names are permitted except when they imply that the editor is a specific living person they are not.
