Wikisource:Administrators/Archives/Quadell

2008-01 admin


Self-nom. I've been a quiet contributor to Wikisource since 2004, but only rediscovered the "joy of text" rather recently. A list of my contributions can be found on my user page. I'm an admin on the English Wikipedia, Wikiquote, and Commons, all since 2004. At those sites I usually work on deletion backlogs, and as a result I've learned a ton about copyright law -- if confirmed I plan to do the same here. Also, there have been several situations recently where I could have used admin tools: deleting a page I created in error, facilitating a move, ect. I hope I am found worthy of the mop.
