RickK was right.

  • I won't be interacting with the community anymore. I'll still edit. But I'm done doing anything for you people apart from what I randomly run in to.
  • I was one of the core people who made the hurricane articles one of the powerhouses of Wikipedia.
  • I added 'ongoing trials' to current events.
  • I gnomed a lot of early work with the congressional delegations, and am now working on getting governor lists featured.
  • I made hundreds, perhaps thousands, of maps of districts and divisions.
  • I am an administrator, since September 29, 2004.
  • I have a few featured images, and about a dozen featured lists.
  • The Haiti comment below is my favorite - if he's right, then I've objectively made the world a better place.
  • The RickK award below is also a favorite, because it honors one of Wikipedia's early greats who was driven away by an apathetic people.
  • I killed Gabrielle Giffords, and I stand by that decision, as it was the correct, sourced one at the time.

"I am not 100% sure. I think that that map is the first one in whole Internet to be written in Haitian. Not in English, nor in French. That is amazing!"

Nice job on Territorial evolution of Canada. This is for putting Canada on the map, so to speak! Outriggr 00:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
