My name is SNUGGUMS and welcome to my userpage. Lots of my work on Wikipedia involves biographies of both living and deceased people, as well as articles relating to/associated with such people. Music, television, film, business, and politics are common topics I edit. When not trying to improve articles on my own, I sometimes participate in AFD (Articles for deletion) and RM (Requested moves) discussions or review FA (Featured article) candidates, FL (Featured list) candidates, GA (Good article) nominations, and DYK (Did you know) nominations. For any questions and comments you might have for me, please post them at my talk page or send me an email. When possible, be sure to leave a notice on my talk page if you send any emails to me.

The biggest goal I have is helping ensure pages on this site are well-written, accurate, informative, and neutral. Improving Wikipedia is a job that can only be done from within, which is why I started editing it and continue to do so. I overall seek more to enhance pages worth keeping around (even if only making minor improvements in any of the previously mentioned ways or getting rid of copyright violations) than deal with administrator maintenance or incidents of poor conduct. However, it's inevitable that I'll sometimes have to call others out for doing things they shouldn't have, even if it means reporting them to administrators or placing comments on their noticeboard of incidents (sometimes called the "dramaboard"). As flattering as it might be for others to say I should be an administrator myself, I simply don't have enough time, energy, interest, or patience to serve as one. Please don't ask me to run for adminship.

• "Music Mystery - No One Knows How Old Mariah Carey Is" – This is a piece from Cracked.com that features my name in a screenshot of a conversation I took part in where it was determined that Mariah Carey was born in 1969, not 1970 as widely believed.
