User:Barkeep49

Welcome

Welcome to my userpage. I edit Wikipedia because I believe in the mission of spreading the world's knowledge - for free! I am fortunate enough to be an administrator (or my preferred phrase - sysop) here. If you have a concern or need help please leave me a note on my talk page and I'll be happy to answer or assist.

Currently working on:

• Trying to be the best arbitrator I can be.
• RFA in general. In particular, trying to find editors who would make good admins. Is that you? Do you know someone you think would be good? Get in touch.
• Patrolling new pages as the mood strikes me and time allows, and teaching NPP school when there's an interested student.
• Creating pages for all Newbery and Caldecott winner and honor books.
  • Every winner for both awards now has a page (though some of them are incredibly STUBBY).
• Closing Articles for Deletion and other discussions which catch my interest.

Things I want to do... some day:

• Make into a GA:
  • Wrigley Field
  • Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key, The House of the Scorpion, The Westing Game (source)
  • Piggie Pie Once Upon a Cool Motorcycle Dude,
• Overhaul of Learning by teaching or some other educational article like Backward design to GA standard so that we have at least one educational theory GA

My work

• Content
• Sysop stats
• RfA and RfB candidates nominated
• Essays
