If you're unhappy with some admin-ish thing I've done...
[edit]...I'd recommend you drop me a line on my talk page.
Actually, I'd recommend you take a deep breath, make sure I actually did screw up (entirely possible), then drop me a line.
Please, do not email me about admin stuff; I try to keep everything on-wiki if at all possible. If I've blocked you, there's always {{unblock}}; I also keep all blocked user talk pages on my watchlist, and will check back on them a few hours after I've left my notice.
Also, I am open to administrator recall. To see my criteria for recall, read User:EVula/opining/admin recall.
My admin info!
[edit]History
[edit]I was made an administrator on November 7, 2006. My RfA closed with a vote of 62/0/0. Near as I can tell, I'm admin #1,047.
My first RfB was closed as non-consensus on July 1, 2007; the second was also closed as non-consensus on 24 December, 2007. My third RfB passed (122/1/2) on 3 June, 2008.
I was granted Oversight privs after my election on February 16, 2009.

User-reported
[edit]- ~2026-12247-36 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Continuing to vandalize the article Brian McGinnis and blatantly ignoring six warnings from various editors, as well as arguing with them that Wikipedia has been "hijacked by far left political activists".. so it doesn't look like they plan to respect policy.

- Birdie Boswell (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Disruptively overlinking, possibly an undeclared bot/LLM-powered - some of the overlinks don't make sense as something that a human would do, e.g. [1] [2] [3].
