Formerly Francophonie&Androphilie, now with 400% more pink and only 50% less French.

Hi there. I'm &, and I'm an administrator here. I firmly believe that administrators serve at the leisure of the community, which means that whoever you are (unless you're a vandal or a troll), you can consider yourself my boss! Seriously. I work for you. ("Work" in a loose sense of the term, since we're all volunteers here, and I'm lazy as Hell.) If you take issue with any administrative decisions I make, please do notify me, and I will do everything I can to remedy the situation.

On the English Wikipedia, I am a reviewer and a rollbacker. I'm also a sysop on the Test Wikipedia, but that's mostly to keep me from breaking this wiki.

Blocking philosophy

It's come to my attention that I'm currently responsible for the majority of blocks imposed on accounts here. So, a word on the way I see things:

I give far more leeway to unregistered users than to logged-in ones. This is because IP addresses can change often, and because if someone takes the time to create an account, they've shown more of an active interest in disrupting the project. I usually give unregistered users warnings before blocking them; I usually don't with logged-in users. This has proven to be somewhat effective: I almost never have to block IP addresses, and I've never had a registered user appeal my block, so I don't think I'm taking away any valuable contributors to the project. The vast majority of the editors I block are here to do nothing other than vandalize and/or promote a company. Let me emphasize, though, that I am perfectly willing to unblock an editor if they give their word that they'll stop doing whatever I blocked them for. All they have to do is show an interest in contributing to the project positively.

Of course, none of this applies to bots: Like any admin, I reserve the right to block any bot that is malfunctioning and/or making too many edits without gaining approval.
