Misplaced Pages

Hi, I'm GTBacchus (talk • contribs • blocks • protects • deletions • moves), a Misplaced Pages editor and administrator. Offline, I'm G. Tony Jacobs, a teacher and amateur mathematician living in Seattle, Washington, USA. I just realized I hadn't updated this thing in months. Currently, it's nearly 1:00 AM on the last Monday of February, 2007 in Seattle. I should really be in bed.

For the last few months, most of my activity here has related to Misplaced Pages:Requested moves. I think I've completed over 1000 moves, and closed a few hundred discussions besides. I've been learning all about the Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions, which is fun, and I get to look at a great variety of cool articles. They all end up on my watchlist, the size of which has now exceeded 5,000 pages. If you need assistance relating to an article renaming, or a history merge, I can probably help you.

If you disagree with my closure of a move request, you are welcome to leave me a message, and I'll very likely get back to you within 24 hours, if not much sooner.

I've spent a fair amount of time working with stub sorting and articles for deletion. I've had some success in mediating and dispute resolution - nothing formal, just helping people talk with each other. I'm quite a good copyeditor, too. I'm happy to assist in any of these areas, or in just about any adminly function - if I don't know it, I at least know how to find out.

That said, some things that I'm not so good at include the intricacies of copyrights and licensing, the various auto-blocks and triplines and check-boxes that accompany blocking and unblocking, and anything about image file formats and sizes. I keep learning more Wiki-markup and HTML, but I didn't design this user page, and I haven't yet figured out how it works.

I haven't done a whole lot of writing here, and I frequently wish that I were more motivated in that direction, but I seem to like helping out with admin tasks much more, so I just consider myself to be in service of the writers, helping the wheels to turn reasonably smoothly

Happy editing!
