Warning: There is an on-going scam targeting people who would like Wikipedia to have an article about them. See this scam warning for detailed information. I have never edited for pay and will never edit for pay. If someone uses my name for such purpose, they are lying. If you've been scammed please send details to paid-en-wp@wikipedia.org to help others who could be future victims of this scam.

As an information junkie, I do a little of this... a little of that... Patrol recent changes for vandalism, new pages for spam, and random pages for interest. Create a few new articles (and get them nominated to Did You Know... if long enough), add to articles as I find interesting, relevant sources. Mark new articles as patrolled. Help out at Articles for Creation. I am trying to revive WP:WikiProject Record Labels. I tend to do a little each day, as I usually don't have large blocks of time. I'm hooked!
Yes, I am an administrator, you can pick up your jaw off the floor now. If you are a fellow administrator please feel free to undo any of my admin actions without notifying me. A subsequent note explaining the error of my ways would be appreciated. If any editor feels I have erred, please feel free to talk to me about it on my talk page. I have a non-admin account, user:Shellacked!, for use in non-secure areas, or for testing purposes.
