Animum (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA), as he is named on all Wikimedia projects, has had an account here since August 2006 and had been browsing before that, but he started contributing actively only in February 2007. At the time of this writing, he has 24,836 surviving edits[1] out of a total 29,679[2]. On June 17, 2007, Cecropia judged that the community could trust him with some extra tools and subsequently granted them[3]. Since then, he has amassed (again, at the time of this writing) 4,246 administrative actions: 1,629 blocks; 270 unblocks; 1,855 deletions; 229 undeletions; 207 protections; 29 unprotections; and 27 rights changes[4]. On Wikipedia, he can be found mostly copyediting, developing scripts, commenting in discussions, helping users, or doing other behind-the-scenes tasks; nonetheless, he has 2 DYKs to his name[5]. He can sometimes be found on the IRC channels #wikipedia-en, #wikipedia-en-admins, ##Animum, and others.

Okay, I'll stop talking in the third person now. (But my sense of humor isn't really so cheesy[6].) I unequivocally support this project and its mission and can be quite harsh to anyone—troll, vandal, POV-pusher, or otherwise—who gets in the way of it. (If you're one of those, you better hope I'm not the one to review your unblock request.) If you've come here to complain about one of my deletions, please read our deletion policy, for your answer is likely to be in there somewhere[7].

As for languages, I'm a native speaker of English and a stringent grammarian[8] (if you've met me on IRC, you probably know this), a very basic speaker of Spanish[9] and German[10] (i.e., enough to understand basic conversations and maybe participate in them), and planning to learn French in the future[11]. As you may guess from the English dialect that I use, I am from the United States.

Concerning what I read when I'm not editing, I'm intrigued by Ancient Greece and her philosophers; Ancient Rome, her conquests, and her emperors; the Byzantines, their architecture, and Constantinople (even under different names); the Ottoman Empire and her conquests; the works of Jules Verne; the United Kingdom, her history, and her empire; the two World Wars; the Cold War; past and present political leaders; SI units (yes, I know I'm strange); and almost anything having to do with science or math, provided that it's not too technical.

Oh, I almost forgot: I also have a page for barnstars and other awards[12].
