"Suppose that, as is perfectly possible, Wikipedia continues producing articles at a rate of 1,000 per month. In seven years, it would have 84,000 articles."
-Larry Sanger, July 2001, quoted in Kuro5hin (http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2001/7/25/103136/121).
For any complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong.
-H.L. Mencken
Qui nos rodunt confundantur, et cum justis non scribantur.

Who am I?
I'm just a guy who knows a bit about everything. I prefer breadth to depth, although having both is best. I've been around Wikipedia fairly consistently since Fall 2003, which these days probably makes me one of the older Wikipedians.
I stumbled on to this site while writing trivia questions for quiz bowl, and used it as a reference for more than a year before starting to contribute significantly. Then I got addicted. You know how it goes.
What do I do here?
I poke around on articles and community pages of all sorts. I'm not as active as I once was (RL, not wiki-problems) but you'll see me around.
I'm an administrator here, which of course means I'm a member of the cabal.
Where have I been?
Of all my work on Wikipedia what you're most likely to see is the Tutorial, which was my idea even though I'm sure it would have happened eventually without me. I wrote most of it, and still do some updating and maintaining occasionally. I started the Welcoming committee page, but can't claim credit for the tradition of welcoming new users. I'm also proud to have written much of Wikipedia:Assume good faith.
To see a list of the articles I've started or made major edits to, check out my obligatory bragsheet.
