I enjoy doing a number of things around the wiki. In January 2010 I became a Coordinator of the (now-defunct) Mediation Cabal, and in March 2010 I became an Administrator on the English Wikipedia. Currently most of my work on-wiki is in dispute resolution and enforcement, particularly in contentious areas and topics under Arbcom sanctions. I continue to uphold the spirit of the Mediation Cabal, even though it has long since been retired. I can often be found roaming around various topic areas and attempting to resolve disputes.

I have also been called a BLP Hardliner. Given my role in the 2010 Mass BLP Deletions and the creation of [[WP:BLPPROD]], that's accurate. My position has not changed in recent years, I openly accept and embrace the label. BLP is our most important policy, and protecting living persons from unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material trumps all other policies and guidelines.
