About me

As of 2022 I haven't been very active on Misplaced Pages for a few years now. It no longer feels like the exciting place for an editor/administrator that it once was. However, my enthusiasm for the project has waxed and waned several times before, so I may yet return. I still keep an eye on my watchlist and make the occasional edit. I also try to respond quickly to any comments on my talk page.

Some of my article contributions are listed here. My commitment to Misplaced Pages as an administrator is here.

About Misplaced Pages

The English Misplaced Pages has 116,790 active editors, out of 48,538,680 accounts that have been registered. Countless people have edited without using an account. There are 848 administrators, of whom fewer than 500 are active as of early 2022. Together the community has made 1,264,219,608 edits to 62,246,838 pages, of which just 6,938,939 are articles – so a lot goes on behind the scenes.

Administrators' Newsletter January 2025   A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space. Following an RFC, Misplaced Pages:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline. The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions. Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned. A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

When I started editing here I looked like the guy on the right. Here we are ten years later.
