Welcome to my userpage. I am an administrator and editor here at Wikipedia. My main interests are geography (especially places I have lived, like New Hampshire and North Carolina), sports (especially American football), chemistry, history, and music. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them at my talk page.

Namespace subpages
- /Musings on notability An essay I am working on. I take the stance that there is one test for encylopedic articles: Multiple, non-trivial references from reliable sources. All other "tests" as they exist only serve to obfuscate and confuse. Simplify, simplify, simplify.
- /Esperanza A WikiCommunity I used belong to. Gone defunct, following a partial dismantling via MFD (see below)
- /Orthodoxy and heresy at Wikipedia An essay inspired by the rather contentious MfD for Esperanza
- /How to argue effectively I was getting tired of reading bad, illogical, or otherwise ineffective arguments on XfD and other discussions.
- /Jayron32's Principles of Vandal Fighting
- /Observations from a new Admin
- /The Featured Article test
- /On positions of authority at Wikipedia
- /Wikipedia translator
- /NODRAMA my temporary userpage during WP:NODRAMA
