My real name is Michael. I live near [[Seattle]], [[Washington state|Washington]] in the US.

I began editing Wikipedia in the summer of [[2005]]. Although I mostly just do vandal patrol and minor edits, I do get excited about some articles and really take them on. I sometimes add my own images to articles. I have a strong allergy to popular culture sections that infest many articles, and I have deleted a few.

Some idea of my interests may be seen from the sections below.
