If you have a question about an administrative (or for that matter, a non-administrative) action that I've taken, please feel free to ask about it on my talk page.

==Conflict of interest statement==
I'm currentlyhave been employed by both the University of California at Berkeley, have previously been a contractor forand the Wikimedia Foundation, and am likely to develop a COI with regards to the Wiki Education Foundation in the near futurepast. I will not be editing the main space of the encyclopedia directly about these topics generally speaking, except to address blatant vandalism. Since my contract with the WMF was in the past, I've feelnow likeended my conflictemployment ofat interest with regards to the WMF is significantly lower than with UCB or the WEFBerkeley, andI'll uponbe rarerevising occasionthis maydisclaimer make noncontroversial edits related toin the WMF.near I may engage in mainspace edits about historically significant collections held by Berkeley or about historically/culturally significant local events or places related to Berkeley, but will avoid making any edits that could be viewed as promotionalfuture. In other words, I might write about the problems that invasive crawfish pose for [[Strawberry Creek]] even though part of it runs through Berkeley's campus, or expand the article about the [[Berkeley Historical Society]], but I won't be editing touting our admissions statistics in the article about [[UC Berkeley]], or removing negative information about the University from any article. I may touch upon certain events of historical importance that directly involve Berkeley such as the [[Free Speech Movement]] or [[People%27s_Park_(Berkeley)|People's Park]], but will be doing so in the interests of improving the encyclopedia, not improving Berkeley's image (I doubt that adding more information about an event where UCB students were killed during a protest related to UCB property could possibly improve Berkeley's image.)
I will likely be uploading media that may be related to Berkeley in one way or another, such as previously unreleased photographs of events during the [[Free Speech Movement]] or the anti-Apartheid protests that occurred on campus, but won't be sticking these in articles myself 99.99% of the time - just leaving talk page pointers to them so that uninvolved people can decide whether or not they are worth including. I will be attempting to adhere more or less to [[User:Dominic/FAQ|Dominic's guidelines]] for involved editors, which I think are pretty fabulously written. If you believe I've stepped over the line w/r/t any of my edits and this statement, please point it out to me. I can't guarantee I won't make an occasional error, but if I do, I would like to rectify it promptly. As my relationships with these organizations evolve, and as I put more thought in to it, I will likely make occasional edits to this statement; please point out any that you disagree with.
