Yeah, I'm one of those guys
Howdy! I'm a bureaucrat here at Tardis. This means I'm an administrator with the ability to change your user rights. As an administrator, my focus tends to be on the kind of drudgery that most people don't like to mess with. If you need to clean up links on a thousand pages, set up a category structure, or figure out how to code a time-saving template, I'm your guy. As a result, I'm essentially this wiki's IT guy.

No, really, I seriously need to get out more
I also tend be interested in defining wiki policy. I therefore hang out quite a bit at our policy forum and spend some amount of time archiving the policy decision of our community. If you have a question about why we do things the way we do, I'm a good person — but surely not the only person — to ask. I also will likely be one of the first admin to give you a gentle nudge on your talk page if you fall foul of our manual of style or any of our other policies.

So, that was the carrot. Here's the stick.
I generally try to assume that you're making good faith edits, so I'm pretty slow to block people. However, be forewarned that there are three policy violations that will make me almost certainly ban you for some period of time. Please do not violate our video policy, our ban against personal attacks or prohibition against edit warring. Seriously. Don't do it. Warning. One. It. That was.

A mad professor
Because I'm usually trying to do a lot of things at once, I can forget things that I've promised to do for people. If you're one of the people whom I currently disappointing, please don't hesitate to leave me a message. Likewise, please drop me a line if there's a laborious task you need done, like changing a category's name, or properly disambiguating a title.

There's a tiny bit of fun in me. Probably.
All this said, I'm really not just a technocrat around here. I originally came here to write about the Doctor Who universe. I tend to gravitate towards pages about the cast, crew and stories of the DWU, but I also am responsible for major rewrites on some of the "bigger" in-universe pages, like companion, Mel Bush, Dodo Chaplet and Susan Foreman. (Yeah, I like me an underdog.) I also tend to edit thematically, and have added many smaller pages about states, cities, years, centuries, and many others. I tend to enjoy writing about those cultural references from the real world which appear in DWU narratives, and I firmly believe we should make every effort not to go beyond what is actually stated in DWU sources when we write those articles.
