Hello there, I'm BDD. My earliest edits were in late 2004, but I didn't become very active until 2012. In April 2013, I was fortunate enough to become an administrator, and much of my time since then has been spent on administrative tasks. I used to think the metaphor of the mop was a joke. Yeah, it's not. I really do enjoy being an admin though. Please don't hesitate to let me know if I can help you out.

While there are a few other sites out there where I've used this handle, I'm pretty sure there are some other BDDs out there that aren't me, and I also don't think I've created an account under the name for several years now. My name is unrelated to anything listed on this dab page.

My favorite one-sentence article is Hindoo,^[1] and my favorite article that doesn't exist is Esperanto people.

Selected worksEdit

Partial selection of pages created, resurrected, or significantly expanded in their infancy; * indicates a DYK article

Also, I apparently created the Chimichanga article on the Spanish Wikipedia, though I don't recall doing so, nor was it a very impressive contribution.

Brewing thoughtsEdit

Articles which should be createdEdit

Food fraud (partially from Counterfeit consumer goods#Food; examples include extra virgin olive oil, Kobe beef, Maryland crab, and tuna, esp. in sushi) [1], [2]; see also Langostino
Sharia in the United States
Money economy (what happens after a natural economy; I guess this is so ubiquitous no one thought to describe it)
List of Idaho Vandals bowl games
Smoking in bars
Jim Ruel (draft at User:BDD/Jim Ruel)
List of College of William & Mary buildings List of Texas Tech University buildings a good model
List of people from Richmond, Virginia from Category:People from Richmond, Virginia
List of metadata standards

Articles which should be mergedEdit

Frequent flyer program (Guantanamo) (Guantanamo Bay detention camp is the logical destination, but it's pretty bloated; something like Torture at Guantanamo Bay is a good idea but bound to be controversial; Enhanced interrogation techniques could work, and may just be a euphemistic alternative to that proposal, but it's rather large too.)
Bus transport in Queensland#Infrastructure
Mr Bennet should be merged into Bennet family (Depending on the result of the latter's ongoing translation from the equivalent French article, redirection alone may be sufficient.)

Articles which should be worked onEdit

NotesEdit

^ Sadly converted to a redirect after AfD, but through the magic of page history, you can still see that one-sentence article in all its glory. I'm really not joking—I thought it was fantastic.
