JodyB ( talk · contribs) - I am self-nominating for my first RfA. I have been around Wikipedia for some time although my editing work really didn't begin until April of this year. Previous other-world commitments kept me from doing much more than using the 'pedia for referencing. Now that life is smoother and grad school is finished, I am devoting more time to editing. I think you will discover that I am varied in my work and have participated in numerous areas throughout the community. My personality is calm and not easily ruffled. I am not perfect and will admit my shortcomings and errors quickly and make the necessary changes.
Allow me to address the very high edit count in April. It was during this time that the Alabama project was getting off the ground. It was necessary to go through articles that were in the various Alabama categories and begin adding the project banner and assessments to their talk pages. Using AWB I was able to accomplish much in a short time. One might think that reduces the number of significant edits I have made. However I think it shows a dedication to the gnome like tasks necessary to make Wikipedia function efficiently.
Of course, gnome work is not the extent of my labors here. I also contribute heavily to a wide variety of articles; sometimes beginning new articles and at other times improving existing ones.
Please know that I consider serving as an Administrator to be just that -- service. I am happy to work behind the scenes keeping Wikipedia functioning smoothly and efficiently. JodyB talk 17:43, 16 May 2007 (UTC) reply
