I havehad been an administrator since spring or summer 2004, and am always happy to help with cleaning up after cut&paste moves, and many other things that require admin abilities. However, I really try to keep totally clear of edit wars. I've only blocked a handful of users for vandalism, never for 3RR, and have never protected a page. I have also never unblocked someone blocked by someone else, and I probably never will, as it would have to be a very clear case of one-sided bad faith or bad judgement, and I believe that is highly unlikely to ever be the case. If you are seeking help with edit war issues, I'd recommend contacting another admin, or posting the issue at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]] or [[Wikipedia:Village pump]].▼

I've been editing Wikipedia since [[23 February 23]] [[2004]]. I have been averaging 300-700 edits per week, but that number will drop considerably [[June 2]], [[2004]], when I start working at a new contract job. Update: As of the end of December 2004, I'm unemployed again--great for my Wikipedia editing and everything else, except my bank account. :/ I made my 15,000th edit 17:04, 7 Feb 2005. 20,000th around 17:32, 5 May 2005. ([http://kohl.wikimedia.org/~kate/cgi-bin/count_edits?user=niteowlneils&dbname=enwiki up-to-date edit count, by namespace]--thanks Kate!)
 
I initially did [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]] patrol, but since then have mostly done [[Special:Newpages|New Pages]] patrol, and occasionally Random page patrol. Being an introvert IRL, the pattern continues here--I rarely leave "welcome" messages.
