I am student of the universe, a seeker of knowledge, a lover of learning.

In the real world, I am a fourth-year medical student in Chicago. I will start residency at the end of June.

I was born in 1979. I discovered Wikipedia in early November 2004. It wasn't long before I was drawn in; I made my first edit on November 20, 2004 (under my briefly used account, User:Knowledgeseeker). On March 15, 2005, I became an administrator. To check up on what I've been doing with my administrative powers, see my log (note that rollbacks will appear under my contributions like my other edits.

Si sabe hablar español, puede visitarme en la Wikipedia española, aunque yo no sé hablar español muy bien.

All right, I gave in and added a picture of myself. It's from a couple years ago—I'll replace it with a better picture when I get a chance.

Although I spend most of my time copyediting, here are some current/future project ideas. This is more to remind me what I wanted to work on than to tell others. I am overly ambitious for the amount of time I have and probably won't get to all of these. Anyone is free to beat me to these tasks.

• Work on Chicago-related articles, especially ones about streets and multilevel streets in Chicago (User:SPUI has created some beautiful maps [see bottom]). Add photographs to Chicago-related articles if they don't have them already.
  • Wacker Drive — take a new photograph once we get some sunnier weather
  • Lake Shore Drive needs a photograph, but maybe another from the North Avenue Bridge?
  • Columbus Drive upload pictures if article is created has 2 photos now
  • Michigan Avenue (Chicago) could use a sunnier picture, or maybe one taken along the street (but where?)
  • Randolph Street (Chicago) needs a photograph. Not sure from where. Probably from the upper level, perhaps highlighting the multiple-level nature of the street.
  • Pictures of the Adler Planetarium and the Shedd Aquarium
  • Take a picture of some section of Illinois Center?
  • Does anything else need pictures?
  • U.S. Highway 41 needs some info about when it runs along Interstate 94 when I have time to look it up.
  • Disambiguate the links to the Museum of Science and Industry
  • Maybe some pictures for interstates like Interstate 90 or Interstate 55.
• Work on medicine stubs. I haven't been too active here, partially because many of them are already pretty good, and partially because I don't want to spend much of my free time reading more about medicine.
  • Split out information on Anorexia nervosa from Anorexia.
  • Expand Vasovagal syncope
• Add material to space- and space-exploration–related articles if I learn about something that isn't already included in the articles.
  • Work on italicizing spacecraft names
• Work on Star Trek–related articles
  • Work on the links to the old Starship Voyager page
• Add some photographs to India-related articles; flesh out short articles
  • Jodhpur:uploaded photograph
  • Mehrangarh Fort:uploaded photgraph; work on expanding article so I can add more photos
  • Udaipur
  • Lake Palace
  • Jantar Mantar: uploaded photograph
  • Amber Fort (Amber, India?) uploaded photograph
  • Jaipur uploaded photograph
• Move my photographs to Commons; add them to the category or gallery pages (in progress)
• Add Commons photographs to other-language Wikipedias
• Figure out how to add accents and tildes while editing the Spanish Wikipedia. Oh and work on my Spanish skills
• Try writing Phosphorus cycle so that people won't keep following broken (red) links and write nonsense that has to be repeatedly speedied Started it, but it could really use some work. Anyone who knows any ecology, feel free to fix it up!
