I have 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]].

Music I [[User:Niteowlneils/music|like]]
I've been editing Wikipedia since [[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.

===Notability===
[[User:Niteowlneils/2500 Augustine wheelchair ramp]] is factual, verifiable, and NPOV, meeting the guidelines stated by Jimmy Wales at [[Wikipedia_talk:Fame_and_importance#No]]. Still, should it be in the main article space? I'd say no.

Note: From http://www.starseeker.com . I've linked the names blindly (mostly search and replace), so, especially with movie and TV series names, check for alternate spellings/forms (EG +/- "A", "The", etc.). Also, please feel free to add any names that are missing.

===Tutorial===
My "sandbox" copies of articles I'm thinking of suggesting adding to the [[Wikipedia:Tutorial|tutorial]]:
*a shorter [[User_talk:Niteowlneils/tutorial_(short_glossary)|glossary]] (altho' I think an even shorter one might be better for the basic tutorial, or maybe divide it between fairly simple concepts (EG page, stub), and more complex ones (EG Infobox, Transwiki)--I'm still working on this suggestion.
::I got it down to 10 entries, and added a link to it from the wrap-up page of the Tutorial on 4/29/04
*[[User_talk:Niteowlneils/tutorial_(registration)|a page about registration]] (I think this one's pretty much done--my current inclination would be to put it before the page listing other tutorials (currently page 7)).
::I added it to the flow 4/28/04 [[User:Niteowlneils|Niteowlneils]] 22:09, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
===Guide===
My "sandbox" copies of articles I'm thinking of adding to a new Advanced tutorial, the goal of which I see being giving people that have mastered the basics covered in the tutorial, guidance in writing good Wikipedia-style articles, some info on key backend processes/areas, any shortcuts they can use, and ideas about various ways they can contribute.
