Clinton/ Kucinich in 2008. It's time to heal America.

A bit about me

I'm Jeff, a 46 year old nurse (specialized in home health care and hospice care) who is a dual citizen of the U.S.A. and Netherlands. I currently live in Amsterdam.

I travel quite extensively. I have visited the following countries and territories :

I) Africa:

II) Asia :

III) Europe :

IV) Middle East:

V) North America: .

VI) South America:

VII) Oceania:

It's quite possible that I may have forgotten a few. I've also lived in four countries: the

My wedding pictures

I added my wedding photos to the article Same-sex marriage in the Netherlands, since my husband and I were among the first same-sex couples to marry in the Netherlands. In a fit of pique after being set upon by a flock of vultures, I deleted them and withdrew from Misplaced Pages while I reassessed my desire to participate in this project. If I have the time and inclination I may one day re-upload them.

An example of well meaning Wikipedians who become zealots

The picture of Hillary Clinton you see above was once much larger, and had a campaign slogan attached to it. An administrator took exception to it and used her rollback function to delete it without discussing the issue with me first. This led to a thoroughly entertaining discussion at WP:ANI which can be found here. Sadly, this administrator's zealotry got the best of her, and Misplaced Pages's Fearless Leader was forced to speak sharply to her in public. The poor dear was not nearly as much a hard ass as she liked to think, and like Puff, the Magic Dragon, sadly slipped into her cave.

Misplaced Pages accomplishments of which I am the most proud

1) Writing and promoting the article on James Robert Baker to Featured Article status.

2) Being accused of both a pro-Jewish and anti-Jewish bias regarding my edits to the International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust article. If editors on both sides of the issue think me biased, I must be doing doing a good job of remaining neutral!

3) Sheparding Daniel Rodriguez from a painful birth to Good Article status.

4) Rewriting the article about the Zodiac killer to conform with Misplaced Pages's policy and guidelines.

5) Making sure that Misplaced Pages stays safe for all.
