[[Image:Knowledge Seeker.jpg|thumb|right|109px|What a nerd. I mean, who hangs out at an ''encyclopedia''‽]]

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

In the real world, I am a [[residency|resident]] [[physician]] currently living in [[Chicago]]. I will start internship 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 [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Knowledge Seeker|became]] an [[Wikipedia:Administrator|administrator]]. To check up on what I've been doing with my administrative powers, see my [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=&user=Knowledge+Seeker&page= log] (note that rollbacks will appear under my [[Special:Contributions/Knowledge Seeker|contributions]] like my other edits.

''Si sabe hablar español, puede [[:es:Usuario:Knowledge Seeker|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.

The remainder of this page is really for me, to keep track of articles I'm workin on and such. You're welcome to read it but it's not very well-organized.

==To do==

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.

**<del>[[Wacker Drive]] &mdash; take a new photograph once we get some sunnier weather</del>

**<del>[[Lake Shore Drive]] needs a photograph</del>, but maybe another from the North Avenue Bridge?

**<del>[[Columbus Drive (Chicago)|Columbus Drive]] upload pictures if article is created</del> 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?

**<del>[[U.S. Highway 41]] needs some info about when it runs along [[Interstate 94]] when I have time to look it up.</del>

**<del>Disambiguate the links to the [[Museum of Science and Industry]]</del>

**Maybe some pictures for interstates like [[Interstate 90]] or [[Interstate 55]].

*Work on [[:Category:Medicine stubs|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.

**<del>Split out information on [[Anorexia nervosa]] from [[Anorexia]].</del> Split, but I'll try to expand it more.

**Expand [[Vasovagal syncope]]

*<del>Move my photographs to Commons; add them to the category or gallery pages (in progress)</del>

*Add Commons photographs to other-language Wikipedias

*<del>Figure out how to add accents and tildes while editing the [[:es:Portada|Spanish Wikipedia]].</del> Oh and work on my Spanish skills

*<del>Try writing [[Phosphorus cycle]] so that people won't keep following broken (red) links and write nonsense that has to be repeatedly speedied</del> <del>Started it, but it could really use some work. Anyone who knows any ecology, feel free to fix it up!</del> My good friends at the [[WP:CT|Cleanup Taskforce]] have really helped out here, but if you know any ecology, feel free to work on it more.
