Bio
Hello! My name is Mark Pellegrini. I'm a PhD candidate in Electrical and computer engineering at the University of Delaware, whence I also got my bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering. I'm working under Guang Gao in CAPSL, as a small worker bee for the BlueGene/C project. Our group is tasked with hardware verification testing and systems software development. Much of my PhD work so far has been in the area of performance analysis.
I also have some background in biomedical engineering, and military history (particularly 20th century) is one of my interests.
I am the Fieldmarshal (ENTJ)
Me and Wikipedia
I've been on Wikipedia a long time. I'm an administrator, a bureaucrat, and an arbitrator. I'm also the "Featured Article Director", meaning that I choose the featured articles that you see on the main page every day (as well as promoting featured articles and in general helping to making the whole process go smoothly.)
I've been to quite a few Wikipedia meetups, and I've met a fair number of other Wikipedians. They're good people.
I've written a lot of articles - over 400, at last count. I've also taken a fair number of pictures and requested a few articles. I'm a generalist, in that I contribute all over wikipedia. I've written articles in many different fields, including featured articles in history, science, and literature. I think, at one point or another, I've done every task there is to do on Wikipedia, from fixing double redirects and cut-and-paste page moves to presenting a case before the arbcom and writing custom software for Wikipedia (an upload bot).
After you've been here a while, you start to notice certain trends. I've started writing them down at Raul's laws of Wikipedia, which also includes a few discovered by others.

- What do you say that, butterfly? Will you agree to the bargain? It's a good one: eternity for one day of flying among the flowers.
- The butterfly rejects my offer. What is it saying?
- It says it will not exchange one day of happiness for eternity of misery. Damnable butterfly! The audacity to refuse a god's bargain! To defy a god! To defy God!
- I shall curse you, butterfly, you colorful hedonist, I shall curse you to the end of your days!
- It says something. It dares to answer! What is it?
- "I do not mind your curses, oh God, for my day is short"
