Picture of the day

Portrait of Ambroise Vollard is an 1899 oil-on-canvas portrait by Paul Cézanne of his art dealer Ambroise Vollard. It was bequeathed by Vollard on his death to the Petit Palais in Paris, where it is still housed today. Like many of his portraits, the Portrait of Ambroise Vollard displays the significant role of the subject in Cézanne's life, and specifically, the artist's gratitude for promoting his work and establishing his reputation as an artist.Painting credit: Paul Cézanne

About me

Not much to say about me really :) I am in the UK, which is going to naturally affect a few things. My politics are going to be somewhere to the left of the USA and somewhere to the right of Laos. I try not to let that influence anything I do here. I am subject to UK laws which does affect things, I don't really deal with fair use copyright claims, and I don't recognise first amendment claims. These are just examples. I am going to speak funny, spell some words strangely, use idioms you might have to look up, and employ British humour. At the same time, I am familiar with many international experiences and perspectives. I am not paid by anyone to edit or perform any other actions. I registered this account in 2005, and could write back then, so I am at least that old. I don't possess any pronouns, and yours are probably going to involve the singular they.

Notes for other admins

I am currently an admin and checkuser (along with some other stuff). Other admins should feel free to adjust or reverse any admin actions I've made, as long as they understand the basis and consequences, with the following observations. First, any action I've marked as a checkuser action is based on non-public information and should not be adjusted without consultation with a checkuser. This is actual policy. Any checkuser will suffice, but you might want to start with consulting with me. I would also add with respect to checkuser blocks, revoking TPA (or maybe email) is usually fine but anything else you really should at least let me know. I try to be very precise and deliberate in any action I take. Second, I frequently deal with other private or otherwise unstated information, involving institutional knowledge, LTA cases, and private requests. I'm working on improving my communication skills, but I don't always make clear what's going on for various reasons. If you don't fully understand what's going on then I'm usually happy to provide as much information as I can, and if required, to refer you to people you can check with or appeal to. If in doubt, just ask. And in any case, please just let me know.
