Hello

Hello, I'm Andre. I joined Wikipedia in June 2003 and I have over 4,700 edits. As of September 2004, I am currently a Wikipedia administrator. I recently joined the Association of Members' Advocates and I have applied to join the Mediation Committee. I am also a member of the Welcoming committee, and I have welcomed many users. My Wikipedia:Wikipediholic score is 82, which is in the most optimal, productive range.

I ripped off this awesome user page layout from Joseph Dwayne's brilliant but no longer active edit to Jimbo Wales's user page. I liked it so much, I stole it.

This page has been vandalized two times by 207.99.6.125 and then again and again by him under the name DG. Despite this, he is actually my friend.

I'm a relative inclusionist and an eventualist, though I do believe that non-notable vanity pages have no place in the Wikipedia. I have proposed four pages for deletion with a 100% success rate.
