About Me

For those who dislike usernames and would rather call me by a real name, I'm Dave. Good to meet ya :)
Well, I'm a sporadic wikipedian, I do as much as I can when I think about it.
I'm a chap, and I've lived in a few places in England, currently up North, though my heart lives in the Sunny South West.
I am a self confessed geek, working in IT, and enjoy general knowledge and factoids.

Things I'm proud of

I'm surprisingly proud of Doom Bar, the first article that I actually wrote. It's not a massive article, because there's not a lot to write about a sand bank, but since it was the namesake of my favourite childhood beer (yeah, I know, I said childhood beer... and yes, I was drinking a little too early, but not to excess!), I always was fond of it.
My work on Self-contradictory articles, I'm very pleased with. It was getting towards 400, and I've taken it down to the current level. Whatever that is right now. Last count, under 100.
Fixing clotted cream. I was astounded to find an article which was so important to both Devon and Cornwall as a stub (getting 500 views a day), so I expanded it, and it's looking quite good now.
Sorting out Stargazy pie. Horrible thing though. Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

Adoption

The more I work with them, the more I'm proud of my adoptees, past and present. With my first graduate from my adoption school, I'm impressed at how well the system is working.
I believe I'm the most prolific adopter on Wikipedia, having adopted nearly 30 users. If anyone has done more than that, let me know!
Most of my work on adoption can be seen either at my adoption HQ (above) or in statistics (below).

What I want to do!

Find a subject I love and bring it to FA. It's almost certainly going to be Doom Bar... but I'm lacking the impetus to do it.

On Adminship

I am currently an administrator on the encyclopedia. I believe that there are responsibilities that come with that role and I try to maintain the highest possible integrity in all matters. This is of course not always possible and if you feel that I am lacking as an administrator, I invite you to look at my recall process, shown below.

Worm That Turned's recall process

This recall process has two stages, petition and resignation. I will not consider multiple recall requests regarding the same incident.

Petition

Any editor may request recall by starting a numbered petition on my talk page. Editors may request recall for any reason, but are expected to do so civilly and in good faith. To trigger a resignation, a recall petition must be signed by at least 10 editors each having over 500 edits and over one month of tenure.

I also allow for a counter-petition that I should not resign. A simple majority is required between the petition and counter-petition, to confirm the resignation.

Resignation

To allow time for cooling off and to facilitate discussion and compromise, petitions should remain open for seven days. Petitioners may strike out their signatures at any time. If at the end of the petition period the required threshold is met, then I will resign; otherwise, the recall fails. I reserve the right to re-run at RfA at any time.
