I am number 666. Weird. :)

More about me This user has a Doctor of Philosophy degree. en This user is a native speaker of English. fr-1 Cet utilisateur peut contribuer avec un niveau élémentaire de français. Content contributed by this user is released into the public domain. This user is a member of the Cryptography WikiProject. This user is a former administrator on the English Wikipedia (verify) whose administrator rights were suspended due to inactivity. Warning to Vandals: This user is armed with VandalProof. This user is a proposed deletion patroller.

Reminders to myself: (1) Coverage on Wikipedia is much better than its quality. I should strive to improve the quality of wikipedia, it's a job not enough people are doing. (2) Wikipedia covers lots of articles on unencyclopedic crap. I will accept this and not waste my time fighting it. (3) Focusing too much on deletion is a bad but tempting thing. (4) Do your real work, don't waste all your time here. I mean it.

An extension of this: it's really been bothering me lately that people seem to not understand the boundaries of what we can accomplish during deletion debates. Try to remember that administrators are not slaves.

Some of the articles I have written or significantly contributed to include:

• Cryptography (featured)
• Linda Wertheimer
• Marbury v. Madison (good article)
• Plaintext-aware encryption
• OverPower card game
• Bridge (card game)
• Age of Renaissance
• Bach's algorithm
• Forking lemma

Other contributions I'm proud of:

• Wikipedia:Handling trivia
• Wikipedia:"In popular culture" articles
• Template:User committed identity - (Signpost article)
• Template:Backlognav
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Proposed Deletion Patrolling

Feel free to edit my talk page if you've got anything to say, though I may not notice for a while. I've been pretty active lately but it comes and goes.
