Hi, I am chris. I am here to help you so feel free to let me know if there is anything I can do for you. First off, I am an administrator¹ and work on some OTRS queues². I edit alot of random articles in response to OTRS requests. If you have any questions as to why I do something, please feel free to ask. I used to do lots of vandal fighting however I now mostly write articles and do administrative tasks (closing AFD's, blocking, granting rollback etc etc). I used to write articles on what I knew, now I base EVERYTHING I write on sources. Sources are the cornerstone of my article writing. I look at almost everything I read as a potential to be a source for an article. I also regularly add citations into existing articles and enjoy cleaning up articles that need a little TLC. I have an undergrad degree (BS) in Information Science³ and am currently pursuing my masters in Information Techonology⁴ as well as I also work full time as a software developer. Feel free to check out my userboxes pages through the link at the top of the page if you want a little more information about me.

Pitchforks, Torches and Scarlet Letters

I believe we all make mistakes. That being said, I believe most everyone deserves a 2nd and sometimes a 3rd chance to get things right. Please if you see that I am giving somebody a second chance, please try to hold off the pitchforks and torches, as you do not currently wear a scarlet letter for your past mistakes, why should anybody else?

Admin Notes

If I make a mistake as an admin and you are another admin, please feel free to correct it. If I deleted an article that should not be, feel free to undelete it. If you disagree with a block, feel free to unblock! I won't be offended. I make mistakes and am human. Thanks!

General Notes

If you have concerns about my editing habits or general behavior, please address them on my talk page. You have my assurance that I have acted in good faith, based on my experiences with article writing and wikipedias policies. I am not out to get anybody, and hold no strong views on large groups of articles, however individually review each article and make independent decisions. If you still have questions regarding my conduct, please feel free to address it.
