Wikipedia editor
This is a Wikipediauser page. This is not an encyclopedia article or the talk page for an encyclopedia article. If you find this page on any site other than Wikipedia, you are viewing a mirror site. Be aware that the page may be outdated and that the user whom this page is about may have no personal affiliation with any site other than Wikipedia. The original page is located at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bearian.
I have been an editor for Wikipedia since February 7, 2007, and have created about 160 articles and stubs in the past five years. With over 48,000 edits, I am one of the top most prolific Wikipedians, as of July 20, 2012 at # 722 (I have been falling behind as of late...).
I was chosen an administrator five years ago, on September 27, 2007, and am one of about 1,500 admins on English Wikipedia.
Regarding the issue of my supposed consensus-violating inclusionism at RFA and AFD, I did the research to confirm or to deny it, see User_talk:Bearian#My_recent_record.2C_for_the_record. I am not much more inclusionist than the average Wikipedian. For the period May 1 to 11, 2011, I was in line with the consensus on WP:RFA exactly 100 % of the time, and on WP:AfD a bit over 92 % of the time.
Wherever I personally know, or am related to, a person, I try to disclose that fact. This includes classmates, pen-pals, distant relatives, people I've met, and people I know from church.
I despise bigotry in its many forms.
I have been owned by several cats and a dog, but am currently not owned by any four-legged companion animals.
This user (hereafter "User"), and all subsidiaries, agents, et al. acting on his/her/their/its behalf, herein manifest possession of, and are henceforth estopped from disclaiming, an advanced knowledge of Legalese, or access to such knowledge as to suffice as a reasonable substitute.
This user was a member of WikiProject Administrator, a group of editors who sought to address the role of administrators and their interaction with other editors.
This user provides information using userboxes to contact other Wikipedians with similar interests.

This user believes that userbox should always be pluralised userboxen, and thinks that this is one of the most important and exciting issues of our time.
What I like to eat and drink
This user believes that caffeine is necessary in large doses daily.
You are hereby awarded the Infrangible seal of approval for outstanding contributions and overall coolness. ~ Infrangible 00:22, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
The Good Heart Barnstar
For not only unblocking and apologizing to users they blocked in error but actually having the courage to come on WP:AN and make a public apology (which is far above and beyond standard procedure), I award you, Bearian, this barnstar. Mr.Z-man 02:27, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
I like your contributions at WP:AFD; they're helpful. I awarded the same barnstar to User:Dhartung earlier today for similar reasons. You seem to have a sound judgement of what is and what is not notable.h i ss p a c er e s e a r c h 01:58, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
I know this comes a little late, but life has been hectic for me recently. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I really appreciated the level of neutrality I feel you brought to rough waters of Law of Palestine. I therefore, hereby award you this Ribbon of Merit for conflict resolution. (See The Anti-Flame Barnstar) -Thibbs (talk) 19:39, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
For making my day by ridding Wikipedia of another disruptive and abusive editor, cheers! ...Dave1185 (talk) 20:25, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
Too often great editors like you are overlooked and not given the credit deserved for all their great contributions. So I am awarding you this barnstar to let you know I greatly appreciate all you do for Wikipedia, and please keep up the outstanding work!! Also a special thank you for getting me out of my slump, and making my break last only four days by showing you do appreciate me/care! Thanks! CTJF83chat 03:03, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
The Admin's Barnstar
For being such a hardworking, friendly, and all-around great admin (and editor!). It's always good to see your name around: I'm glad I voted for you all those years ago. Acalamari 20:39, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
For being an outstandingly good all round editor and admin. FeydHuxtable (talk) 18:12, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
As a form of appreciation for the Barnstar which you have presented to me, I hereby present to you this cookie. May you enjoy it and may it strengthen you in your future edits.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 07:46, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
