About me
I am an administrator and bureaucrat on this wiki.

Do I edit elsewhere?
Yes, I am retired from Wikipedia:


 * No edits from any account registered to me on Wikipedia in over a month.
 * No edits from my main IP on Wikipedia since April 2010. And those half dozen minor edits were uncontroversial article improvement edits only.  Only one logged out edit from that IP in the whole year of 2009!  Far less than I suspect from many, many others...
 * No edits to any AfDs or other discussions in which someone did not explicitly request my participation. Redirecting my talk page will make sure no one can bait/trap me further, although I have stopped reading that page for a few days now anyway and deleted it along with most Wikipedia related pages from my favorites bar.
 * No new accounts created on Wikipedia in at least a couple of years.
 * Email decativated from Wikipedia, Wikia, and the Meta-Wiki so that past Wikipedia accounts' passwords cannot be emailed to me. I have found life to be much happier not worrying about Wikipedia the past couple months.  So, I made sure that I can never re-log into my old accounts there again and I never will, just as I have not done so since Spring 2010 and just as any checkuser can see I have created no new ones.
 * I said my farewells from my A Nobody account on Wikipedia in March 2010 and on the Meta Wiki in May 2010. No reason to log back into either, and I made sure I cannot log into the former even if I wanted to.
 * I have not asked, nor will I ask for any old alternate accounts on Wikipedia to be unblocked as I can never re-log into them anyway. Nor have I requested support for creating any new accounts.  I just do not have any need for one at this time as instead, I am focusing on a half dozen or so transwikis a day to Wikia sites on which I am an admin and some minor admin related clean up on those sites as well.  I am content doing this work and have no interest in reading nor participating in any Wikipedia admin board type discussions.  I figure my final post in one was in support of a friend back in April 2010 and supporting a friend is a good final edit.
 * Will I ever make IP edits again down the road? Well, who knows, not really planning on it, but in any event no serious editor who is either not a hypocrite, partisan, or has a vendetta can look at those IP edits I made in April and honestly take issue with them.
 * And even if bad faith accounts are discussing me anywhere, please do not attempt to inform me, nor should anyone waste time defending me. You have to figure only fanatics would have it out for a retired account that has not edited under that account in over a month, has created no new accounts, and made a handful of trivial IP edits.  Thus, any time they spend trash talking someone who has not used an actual account to edit Wikipedia in months and has made less than ten IP edits since then is time they are not trying to disruptively get rid of someone's else's actual contributions.  I am not waiting for time to pass to try to return as a full time editor or anything.  If I were, I would not have gone so far as to close my Yahoo email account altogether, thereby severing communication even with friends.
 * I respect all the various worthwhile people who have been friendly on that site and would be happy to help you here if I ever can. I blocked the half dozen odd accounts that apparently were taking their on-Wikipedia fixation on me to emails, Wikipedia Review, the Meta-Wiki, Wikia, etc., so there should be no worry about them disrupting here.  I am being careful to only block those with unforgivable past behavior or who have persisted in their fixation to the point of unhealthiness.  Any legitimate, good faith editor, after all, would not waste a moment's time concerned about say some IP edits from a retired editor that actually improve any articles.  Only non-serious accounts would disrupt the community over trivialities.
 * And for me, what concerns me is not the reputation of "A Nobody" (I picked the username, because really, who cares what is said anywhere about "A Nobody"? I do not.  Even if my userpage of that or even some of my totally obscure old alternate accounts were replaced with photographs of bowls of chili instead of the retired template, I would not lose sleep over it, because truth be told, rather than annoy me who is not even looking at my old pages anymore, it just shows how sad anyone else is who is still interested in some random retired editor than say getting a DYK or something or better yet spending time with their families).  Rather, whether on Wikipedia or Wikia, my concern has been knowledge, i.e. catalogging human knowledge and recognizing those who work toward that noble goal.  The bottom line is that the knowledge still exists and the contributors are still recognized.  Thus, it really does not matter if a list and its edit history of contributors is on Wikipedia or right here, so long as it exists somewhere.  As such, we can collect that knowledge here and recognize those who collected and wrote it without playing games that I am simply not willing to play.  To that end, I am accomplishing exactly what I set out to do on Wikipedia and having much more fun and relaxation doing it, while totally avoiding having to make even one edit in any heated or baffling discussion there.  I could not be happier! :)
