Greetings. I've been around since late 2003 and started editing January of this year. Although I'm no wikimaniac, I love this project and have spent many hours just reading through the web of articles available. Of course whenever I see something to edit I do so. Probably my biggest contribution to Wikipedia is random, completely unorganised copyediting, which is something I think we should all engage in more often. See a typo, fix a typo, sort of thing. Although this isn't to de-emphasise more real work I've done occasionally, such as improved a few articles significantly, start a couple, work continuously on a few, things like that. But you should just look at contribs since actions speak louder than my words.
 
I'm running for arbcom because I think I fill a niche. A lot of users are not happy with one candidate or another; I've seen lots of sentiments about arbcom being this or that or cabals or this or other baloney. The fact is, it's a divisive thing. There's the politics and the disagreements and the arguing.

Simple. No matter how you feel on an issue, I'm not going to inflame things. That is, whether you have ideas bent towards reforming trouble users or towards protecting wikipedia from them or whatever, you can be confident I'm not going to help out the side you disagree with. The most important thing in Wikipedia is the work, not the disputes. The creation, not the destruction--to romanticise a bit.</b> [[User:DG|D.]] [[User_talk:DG|G.]] 03:23, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Yes, I HAVE been around since late 2003. No, this is not my original username. My first username was 207.99.6.125 and my second was Not Wikipedia Administrator.
