| == Who: == | |||
| I have been a frequent contributor to Misplaced Pages since August of 2002. Unlike most users, who establish a single account and use it continuously, my preference has been to hold a series of personas over time. I've been the author of original articles numbering in the low hundreds, and contributed to articles numbering in the high thousands. I've had admin accounts, hundreds of "anonymous" IP addresses, and more user accounts than I could ever tally. | |||
| {| align="center" style="background-color: white; border:8px solid red; padding:5px; text-align: center; font-size: larger;" | |||
| Although some have deduced my more obvious prior incarnations, I've always chosen to be silent about my serial personas. Who knows, it is likely some day soon I will choose to abandon this account and move on to another incarnation. But today, for once, I am acknowledging my history here. | |||

| Having been a part of Misplaced Pages all these years, and perhaps with the unique perspective of experiencing it multiple times as an admin, as a "anonymous" IP, as a newbie, and as a welcomed member of the community, I've seen it change in countless ways. I don't know if on the whole these changes are for the better. | |||

| I fear for Misplaced Pages. Particularly, I fear for the culture of Misplaced Pages. This once was a very welcoming community, where ] and ] and ] served us well. Newcomers, no matter how difficult, were welcomed into the fold. Most of us intuitively understood what we were doing. | |||
| Today Misplaced Pages feels like another world altogether. Vested interests appear everywhere, self-appointed watchdogs hover over articles, and punishment is meted out by the powerful with neither checks nor balances. | |||

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello O^O! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:04, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
A kitten for you!
Love your user page.
