I really need to rewrite this page. Here's the basics:
- I was one of the core people who made the hurricane articles one of the powerhouses of Wikipedia.
- I added 'ongoing trials' to current events.
- I gnomed a lot of early work with the congressional delegations, and am now working on getting governor lists featured.
- I am not Armenian.
- I am not Azerbaijani.
- I am not sympathetic to the Armenian cause.
- I am not sympathetic to the Azeri cause.
- I do admit a mild sympathy to the cause of Nagorno-Karabakh itself, as I am all for local government and being able to split from those with whom you have a grievance. Call it both the joy and naivete of being American; having no knowledge of revanchism or irredentism, we cannot comprehend it in others. I prefer this naivete to the alternative portrayed by the Armenians and Azeris on Wikipedia. They should try some of it, ignorance is bliss.
That said, I consider myself to be as neutral a party in the conflict over the articles as you will find. I have no dog in the fight. (and frankly, likely neither do the people fighting over the articles, but I digress)
- Seriously, fuck those people.
- I made hundreds, perhaps thousands, of maps of districts and divisions.
- Right now I just check my watchlist every day and maybe spend a little time trying to work on a governor list.
- I am an administrator, since September 29, 2004.
- I have run for Bureaucrat twice and failed.
- I have run for the Arbitration Committee twice and failed.
- I don't run for anything anymore because I'm too jaded to be able to win.
- I have a few featured images, and about a dozen featured lists.
- The RickK award below is perhaps my favorite, because it honors one of Wikipedia's early greats who was driven away by an apathetic people.
- The Haiti comment below is another one of my favorites - if he's right, then I've objectively made the world a better place.

"I am not 100% sure. I think that that map is the first one in whole Internet to be written in Haitian. Not in English, nor in French. That is amazing!"

The Editor's Barnstar |
For noticing that a new comprehensive lead at Mario (that lived for only 8 minutes before it was dubbed vandalism by another Wikipedian, and reverted) was not actually vandalism, and subsequently reverting the reversion. Bugmuncher 03:51, 9 June 2006 (UTC) |
