Compulsive proofreader and typo fixer. I came here to feed those compulsions, share what I know or can find out about my favorite subjects, learn about new ones, and have some fun. I stayed for the arguments, which can be had and enjoyed without involving a family member.
My interests include South Park, military figures, art and artists (even some not very good ones), avoidable disasters, law and justice, and a few of the more absurd celebrities and political figures of the New York City metropolitan area.
In the past I did some vandal chasing, but stopped due to Wikipedia's systemic inability or unwillingness to squash repeat offenders. When I have time, I'll make up a version of the WP:DGAF userbox specific to vandalism and add it to this page. Meanwhile, I do still clean up spam when I see it, for I know I'll be supported. And, bless their conniving hearts, most spammers respect the institution.

By nature I am an observant and critical person, so below are my unsolicited observations and criticisms of Wikipedia, not to say that many of them will ever be fixed, or even can be fixed. But I intend to stick around anyway.
