Notes edit

^ I don't know how I got my username, it originated from DMOZ. I rarely volunteer there now, because of time and the overly structured format.
^ Do I speak Iqualik? No, not even a word. But I couldn't bear to see this project go, and I've made limited but significant attempts to attract new contributors. Mainly, I deal with keeping the wiki clean for future usage.
^ My first interview for Wikipedia was on Call for Help; I had contacted them, trying to arrange an interview of Jimmy Wales, on the hopes Toronto would win Wikimania 2006. They decided they wanted me instead. (Good thing too, in retrospect. Call for Help ceased production by the time the conference was held in the winning city, Boston).
