Hi, I'm GTBacchus (talk • contribs • blocks • protects • deletions • moves), a Wikipedia editor and administrator. Offline, I'm G. Tony Jacobs, a mathematics graduate student living in Denton, Texas, USA. This page was last updated on November 11, 2008.

During my time on Wikipedia, I've participated in various capacities. I began with article writing, and have participated (in roughly chronological order) in WikiGnome technical fixes, stub sorting, Articles for deletion, dispute resolution, policy and guideline editing and explaining, and page moves/titling disputes. Recently I've volunteered and been accepted on the OTRS team, and I'm eager to dive into that as soon as my graduate program gives me enough work to justify really serious procrastination.

If you're looking for assistance in any of the areas where I've worked, or if you have any question or concern regarding Wikipedia, please feel free to leave me a message, and I'll very likely get back to you within 24 hours.

That said, some things that I'm not so good at include the intricacies of copyrights and licensing, the various auto-blocks and triplines and check-boxes that accompany blocking and unblocking, and anything about image file formats and sizes. I keep learning more Wiki-markup and HTML, but I didn't design this user page, and I haven't yet figured out how it all works.

I haven't done as much writing as I might like, and I sometimes wish that I were more motivated in that direction, but I seem to be more drawn to administrative tasks. Therefore, I consider myself to be a sort of mechanic under the hood, helping the wheels to turn smoothly, for the benefit of readers and editors everywhere.

Happy wiki-ing!

[edit] Selected articles that GTBacchus has worked on

(or sometimes looks after)

• Abortion - More dispute resolution than writing here.
• Blondie (comic strip) - I began this article, and it has done pretty well since then.
• Charles Chilton Moore - This one was fun to research.
• Cocaine - the most vandalized article on my watchlist.
• Damiana - My first taxobox, I believe.

• Doll - Started this one, would like to groom it to an FA one day.
• Edwyn Collins - Wrote the stub.
• Exploitation film - Another one I began, and should soon revisit with an eye to citations.
• Graffiti - I did a lot of structural work on this a long time ago, and it became an FA, but then fell.
• Hipster - I did a lot of writing early on; this article needs constant attention to keep it from eroding. Sort of a problem child.
• Jimmy Castor - Wrote the stub.
• Los Cerrillos, New Mexico - Made contributions that I really need to source, now that I've learned about WP:NOR.

• Mason-Dixon line - I helped shape the opening paragraph, and learned a thing or two about content disputes here.
• Ralph Abraham - Wrote the stub.

• Santa Fe, New Mexico - used to live there, helped flesh out the history section.
• Squonk - my first Wikipedia article, based on research I'd done for h2g2.
• Towel - I started this, and have continued to look after it. h2g2 is again to thank.
• Triangle and Robert - Wrote most of this, almost lost it on AfD, but it was determined to be an historically notable webcomic.
• Turneraceae - Written along with Damiana, being the containing family.
• War on Christmas - Since renamed. I participated in the fray around Christmas 2005. What a mess that was.
• Xavier Roberts - Wrote the stub.
