Hi, my name is Ed Poor and I'm one of the earliest members of the Wikipedia project. I was an admin and bureaucrat there for a while, but then I got "promoted to user".
I know quite a bit about the internal workings of Wikipedia: the database structure, formatting, templates, dispute procedures, content and style guidelines, etc.
Dpbsmith asked me to come over, so here I am. How may I be of service? --Ed Poor 12:33, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

Articles I've started here
Substantial changes
- Moved global warming to global warming controversy - should have asked first, sorry!
- Greenhouse effect
- Sodomy
Blocks and unprotects
I go after obnoxious users, not difficult pages. I've unprotected a handful of pages and am watching them. I've blocked one unproductive user. And he seems to have decided to be productive now.
Welcome
Welcome, I'm Dan. I see that you have made many great article improvements in your week here. MountainDew 17:45, 26 March 2007 (EDT)
- Thanks, Dan. I try. And I've learned a lot from watching you. --Ed Poor 18:50, 28 March 2007 (EDT)
