 | Due to some extremely disrupting personal circumstances, it's necessary that I take a break from Wikipedia, beginning in late August and probably lasting at least a couple of months; I hope to check in occasionally to do some minor work, check my watchlist, etc., but won't be doing my usual copyedits of the daily DYK, etc., and likely won't have the time to handle any admin tasks. I hope to return as soon as possible. - August 2008 |
Hi; I've been editing Wikipedia since March 2004. Thanks to everyone who supported my adminship nomination in August 2006, and to Jaranda for the nomination itself; I'm sure I'll be gradually picking up on everything involved, and hope you will be patient with requests and understanding if I'm cautious about using the tools.
I took a break from Wikipedia from late April-May 2007 to take care of some personal matters; fortunately, I didn't experience constant urges to get to a computer or dreams of editing articles, so my Wikipediholism seems to be a mild case.
