RickK was right.

  • I won't be interacting with the community anymore. I'll still edit. But I'm done doing anything for you people apart from what I randomly run in to.
  • I was one of the core people who made the hurricane articles one of the powerhouses of Wikipedia.
  • I added 'ongoing trials' to current events.
  • I gnomed a lot of early work with the congressional delegations, and am now working on getting governor lists featured.
  • I made hundreds, perhaps thousands, of maps of districts and divisions.
  • I am an administrator, since September 29, 2004.
  • I have a few featured images, and about a dozen featured lists.
  • The Haiti comment below is my favorite - if he's right, then I've objectively made the world a better place.
  • The RickK award below is also a favorite, because it honors one of Wikipedia's early greats who was driven away by an apathetic people.
  • I killed
    Gabrielle Giffords
    , and I stand by that decision, as it was the correct, sourced one at the time.

Barnstars

I, Redwolf24 hereby award you this barnstar for several reasons: You have over 8000 edits, you're funny, any wikipedian who's been around for more than a week should recognize you, I haven't seen you being uncivil, and you are all around a great user.

"I am not 100% sure. I think that that map is the first one in whole Internet to be written in Haitian. Not in English, nor in French. That is amazing!"
