| Hello, I am Thaddeus from Columbus, Ohio (USA). I have been editing Misplaced Pages for a while now (and reading it longer), and have dabbled a little in many different areas. I have done some ], done a little ], offered a few ], ] some articles, ] a few pages, and participated in many ]. Of course, I have worked some on content creation and consensus building too. In most everything I have done, I have tried to "get it right" and handle the hard cases where help was most needed rather than just doing what was easier and quicker. | |||
| Overtime, I have found that the three areas I enjoy contributing the most are ], ] to find article worth saving or transwiking, and writing ] to automate tedious tasks. | |||
| On July 29, 2009 I was ] by a 117-2-7 vote. I am truly honored and humbled by the outpouring of support and look forward to serving the community in my new role. | |||
| A log of my proposed deletion activity can be found at ]. | |||
| I have made over 200 improvements to ] and have written three bots: | |||
| *] which updates external links that have ] | |||
| *] which helps prevent link rot of citations by submitting most newly added links to ] for permanent archival. | |||
| *] which keeps track of Misplaced Pages statistics requested by WikiProjects and such. | |||
