Contacting me

I recommend using my talk page, right here on the wiki, whenever possible. To leave me a message, click here.

Email

Registered users with confirmed email addresses will be able to email me here.

IRC

I can be found on IRC, on Freenode, usually named either Luna-San or Lunaway. I recommend joining #wikipedia or #wikipedia-en. I do not always respond swiftly to queries on IRC, I recommend asking for any administrator via the !admin <what you need help with> key phrase.

If you're blocked

Feel free to request review by using the {{unblock}} and {{unblock-auto}} templates on your talk page. You can also contact the unblock-en-l mailing list.

If I deleted a page

Please see "Why was my page deleted?". I'm usually happy to answer questions regarding deletions I've made, or you can lodge a request at deletion review.

If I'm not available

See the appropriate pages: administrator intervention against vandalism, requests for page protection (and unprotection), the administrators' noticeboard (and related subpages), or see the more expansive requests for admin attention.

If you need help

Place the text {{helpme}}, along with a question, on your talk page. Someone will be by to answer your question shortly.

A brief introduction

Hey, there. If you'd like to get to know me a little better, you can have a look at my blog, hang around a bit on IRC, or find me at any of the various other websites I participate in. To tell the truth, I've never been too sure about what to put up on this page, aside from that helpful box of links above, so I figure I should leave a few things that'll be useful for other people.

The vast majority of my edits on the wiki are probably on recent changes patrol. I am a pretty active administrator -- for some time, this page made no mention of that, but I eventually realized that was confusing people, so here the notice goes. I regularly assist in the upkeep of requests for unblock, protected edit requests, checkuser requests, admin intervention against vandalism, username usurpation requests, and the like. I sometimes close or participate in articles for deletion, categories for discussion, or deletion review discussions (and others, but generally only when prompted or I find something interesting). I occassionally post at the village pump and admin noticeboards. I'm also subscribed to a number of the Wikimedia Foundation's mailing lists, including foundation-l, wikiEN-l, wikipedia-l, and unblock-en-l.

Before they were shut down, I was a (fairly inactive) member of Esperanza, and a regular participant at the understaffed personal attack intervention noticeboard. I occassionally offer third opinions and try to cool down heated disputes when I run across them.

I make it a point to welcome helpful users and to contribute to Wikipedia's help desk (and related tasks); new users are the lifeblood of the wiki, in my opinion.

Other than that, I've made or worked on a wide assortment of templates, and I'm generally adept, if you need any help with them.

Heavens! Barnstars!

Stop! Hammer time.   Please note: I have a lot of barnstars. More than I need. I do appreciate the sincerity and gratitude (very much!), but before giving me more, please consider whether other editors, more helpful than I am, or more stressed than I am, may be more deserving of your appreciation. You are, of course, more than welcome to leave any message on my talk page. Wikipedia is a huge project, and there are thousands of helpful editors out there -- thank one today!
