User:The JPS

I started contributing to the displacement activity which is Wikipedia in December 2004, and was made an administrator on 1 May 2006. Thank you to everyone who supported me in my RfA, which passed with an overwhelming consensus of 95/2/2.

I strongly believe that the Five Pillars are essential to achieve the project's goal of presenting the sum of human knowledge in as reliable, accurate and neutral way as possible. The Good Article and the Featured Article processes, although clearly designed to enhance the quality of our content, often bring out the worst in people, and are the site for some distasteful uncollaborative behaviour and bullying.

Disclaimer: None of my contributions are representative of, or endorsed by, my employers in any way. All of my contributions to this project are made in my personal time. They are the responsibility of me as an individual and are in no way associated with any organisation in meatspace.
