The reason I've been editing sparingly lately is because of a Mediawiki software bug which apparently affects only me, and only when I'm logged in. See Bugzilla case 27804.
I am a casual editor involved in getting people to know about Christianity - that is, the good and the bad. I have some of the main vital articles of Christianity on my watchlist. I am currently seeking to upgrade the article Prayer to GA or FA status. Right now, it looks like I've got that article all to myself, which is a shame, but it allows me to work unimpeded.
I am also involved in the creation and expansion of articles about the geography of the region where I live, that is, Montreal, Canada. In my spare time, I also do graffiti reversion and cleanup, where I tend to specialize in new page patrol.
Outside Wikipedia, I am a single man (and yes, I would like to get married someday). I strive to live by the Word of God, but, like every honest Christian, I am falling short of my goals. Additionally, I have begun work on a novel, some excerpts of which I have posted on a dedicated blog here. (No, I do not intend to start the Wikipedia article on it by myself.) You may often see me at Starbucks in Carrefour Laval working on it.
This user is not a Wikipedia administrator, but might like to be one someday.
