About me
As of 2022 I haven't been very active on Wikipedia for a few years now. It no longer feels like the exciting place for an editor/administrator that it once was. However, my enthusiasm for the project has waxed and waned several times before, so I may yet return. I still keep an eye on my watchlist and make the occasional edit. I also try to respond quickly to any comments on my talk page.
Some of my article contributions are listed here. My commitment to Wikipedia as an administrator is here.
About Wikipedia
The English Wikipedia has 116,686 active editors, out of 48,009,456 accounts that have been registered. Countless people have edited without using an account. There are 851 administrators, of whom fewer than 500 are active as of early 2022. Together the community has made 1,242,529,806 edits to 61,504,709 pages, of which just 6,886,544 are articles – so a lot goes on behind the scenes.
Following an RfC, there is a new criterion for speedy deletion: C4, which applies to unused maintenance categories, such as empty dated maintenance categories for dates in the past.
The arbitration case Historical Elections is currently open. Proposed decision is expected by 3 September 2024 for this case.
Editors can now enter into good article review circles, an alternative for informal quid pro quo arrangements, to have a GAN reviewed in return for reviewing a different editor's nomination.
