I'm Ks0stm, a teenager from Salina, Kansas studying meteorology at the University of Oklahoma. Like most teenagers from Kansas, I get tired of Wizard of Oz jokes and relatively bored with the area, but unlike most I love it nonetheless. My username's etymology is that of a United States amateur radio call sign, and is the one that I wish to have when I get my amateur radio license. Anything else you would want to know about me personally is probably over there (→) in my userboxes, but if not, feel free to ask.

My article editing activities mostly revolve around articles involving meteorology, Salina, other locations I'm familiar with, and geography. I became an administrator in September 2011 (Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ks0stm), and as an administrator I usually participate at WP:AIV, WP:RFPP, speedy deletion, and WP:ITN, with the occasional comment on one or another of the administrator noticeboards. I will occasionally participate in deletion discussions, but not frequently (never more than 5 every couple weeks)...as a general rule I dislike participating in them because for the majority of them, I have no opinion whether or not a given article should be deleted. For this reason, I find that several of the deletion discussions I participate in either have content that caught my eye or the reasons for keeping or deleting are relatively straightforward/obvious. I will, however, close relatively uncontroversial AfDs as an administrator every now and then.

If you would like to contact me off wiki, feel free to do so via email, but also consider leaving a {{You've got mail}} on my talk page in case I notice that before the email. In the past I have said to email my alternate account for a better chance of me noticing it quickly, however this is no longer necessary since I have now have updated the email associated with this account to one that I check multiple times a day. I also sometimes hang around IRC in the #wikipedia-en-help ^connect and #wiki-hurricanes ^connect channels, as well as my own ##Ks0stm ^connect channel, so you might be able to catch me in one of those if you would prefer talk in real time.

I am also known as Ks0stm on all Wikimedia projects, IRC, Skype, Google/Youtube, Yahoo, Runescape, Funorb, Amazon.com, History Channel forums, Discovery Channel forums, and a few other websites here and there.

If you made it through this wall of text, you deserve a barnstar, but instead feel free to sign my guestbook with a comment indicating you made it through (or any other comment, for that matter).
