Hello, and welcome to my user page. I'm a Unix system administrator and computer science instructor professionally, and I contribute to Misplaced Pages with much of my free time (and much of the time I should be doing other things).
As an administrator on the English Misplaced Pages, I must have and keep the community's trust so I leave myself open to a recall. If a request for comment reaches consensus that I should run a new request for adminship to retain my status as administrator, I will.
I have also been selected to serve on the Arbitration Committee since 2009 and I shall endeavor to be as responsive and diligent as possible. If you have any issue with my performance in that role, please feel free to express it candidly at any time and without fear of reprisal on my talk page or by email.
Some people have been kind enough to give me awards. If you want the ostentatious display, it's in here.

Thank you for doing what needed to be done. Hopefully, it won't have to be permanent, but somebody had to put a stop to the nonsense. AutomaticStrikeout 15:40, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, Coren, for taking care of that issue with a minimum of fuss. Keep up your fine work. Herostratus (talk) 01:09, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
The Admin's Barnstar
The ability to recognise that one has made an error, admit it, correct it and apologise, is probably one of the most valuable qualities any admin can possess. Would that we had more like you. Yunshui雲水 08:31, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
