About Me (Off-wiki)
Well, at long last, I decided that I should perhaps, you know, put something about me on the user page. The important things to know, I suppose, are that I'm in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA with a strong interest in politics and government.
I have a partner of four years, and can usually be found doing very geeky things, or playing with our three critters (beagle mix, komondor, and ginger tabby).
On Wiki
On Wiki, I can usually be found on en:Wikipedia. I tend to focus on a couple of things - correcting spelling errors using Auto Wiki Browser and reverting vandalism (for which I usually use Vandal Proof and Twinkle). Generally speaking, I tend to keep a low profile and be rather gnomish. I am an administrator for en:Wikipedia.
In 2007, I was a member of the Election Steering Committee for the Wikimedia Foundation [1]. As an election steering committee member, I did not take a position in the board elections, and did not support any candidate in this election (nor did I vote). In 2008, I was named by the board as an election inspector on March 15 [2]. The 2008 steering committee can be found here. I was again named to this committee in 2009.
You can find me on en:Wikipedia as Philippe. On IRC, my username is usually Philippe|Wiki. I am a sysop on en:Wikipedia, and a temporary sysop (election issues only) on Meta. Philippe 03:45, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
