Hi; I've been editing Wikipedia since March 2004. Thanks to everyone who supported my adminship nomination in August 2006, and to Jaranda for the nomination itself; I'm sure I'll be gradually picking up on everything involved, and hope you will be patient with requests and understanding if I'm cautious about using the tools.

I took a break from Wikipedia from late April-May 2007 to take care of some personal matters; fortunately, I didn't experience constant urges to get to a computer or dreams of editing articles, so my Wikipediholism seems to be a mild case.

Articles added:

I started the series under Baseball Hall of Fame balloting (inc. 2007); Lists of members of the Baseball Hall of Fame: alphabetical and chronological; List of lifetime MLB hit leaders through history; List of Chicago White Sox people; and List of New York Yankees people

I got to start an article for my cousin Mike Farbelow, skip of the silver medal-winning team at the 2010 U.S. Curling Championships.

I started the series under Category:Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod districts - The Lutheran Hour - The Lutheran Hymnal
