I am an English Wikipedia administrator and editor who spreads his time between various areas. As of late, I tend to work a lot with the Rolling Stones and Taylor Swift related articles; the two are separated by decades and styles—some may say diametrically opposed—but somehow I find a balance...I guess Ms. Swift being a fan of the Stones and how I discovered her helps . I was the featured article nominator of "Paint It Black" when it became the second Stones related article to reach that calibre and have co-nominated a couple Swift articles. Outside of articles I tend to specialize in sockpuppet investigations, where I have been a clerk since October 2019, and as a member of the Bot Approvals Group on the English Wikipedia; the Bot Approvals Group acts as the oversight body, approving bots on the English Wikipedia.
Basically, I help out where I can and where my interests take me.
