 Quick Info

 Me on Wikipedia

I work with

which sometimes leads me to make strange looking edits. Please ask if you're not sure why an edit, deletion or block happened. I will be happy to discuss the issue with you as far as I am able and can assist you in having other OTRS members review the change as well.

The easiest way to do this is simply to copy the message you get when you attempt to edit. If you don't include this information, there's nothing I can do to review your block.

 How I got here

I used to come here every so often to look things up, but honestly, it never occurred to me to edit something until one day a little red link next to

. I hope I've come a long way since then.

I tend to be more of an
