Greetings! I'm your Quadell. I'm a computer programmer in my late twenties living in Louisville, Kentucky. I'm a Buddhist, a Unitarian-Universalist, and I'm working on becoming a Quaker. Really. I have a new blog that focuses on free images and copyright issues here (http://freeimages.blogspot.com/).

What I do here

I can often be found performing miscellaneous cleanup tasks.

I'm a Wikipedia custodian (and a custodian on Wikiquote and Wikimedia Commons). Some people refer to us as sysops or administrators, but I prefer Moink's term. I have keys to the mop room, and I mop things up. If you need a sysop for something, let me know on my talk page.

I'm active on a number of Wikiprojects. I've recently created the projects Wikipedia:Image recreation requests and Wikipedia:Image sleuthing, and if you could help on either of these, I'd really appreciate it. I can also offer some advice on copyright issues.

I enjoy reading and writing about my heroes, who are many. You might be inspired by the amazing stories of U.S. Commander Daniel Ellsberg, alcoholic Bill W, yogi B.K.S. Iyengar, U.S. General Smedley Butler, Pakistani woman Mukhtaran Bibi, priests Daniel and Philip Berrigan, American cowgirl Connie Douglas Reeves, Iranian statesman Mohammed Mossadegh, British translator Katharine Gun, Polish spy Witold Pilecki, American Quaker Mary Dyer, German geologist Alfred Wegener, and U.S. soldier Joseph Darby.

I am inordinately proud of having earned this barnstar.

And I'm absolutely ecstatic at having been given this medal.
