If you need administrative help, plesae feel free to leave a message on my talk page. The bulk of my administrative actions include non-controversial cleanup--what we affectionately call the "mop and bucket" actions. When I have time, I participate in administrative-related discussions. I don't always get things right, but I'm confident with our team of administrators we will get to what is right through discussions and listening.

Wikipedia main page screenshot, evening of December 23, 2015, Central time zone (US). Note featured article of William Wurtenburg in top left hand column.

The Wikipedia main page featured William Wurtenburg on December 24, 2015. This was an article I originally created on June 16, 2008. Thanks to all Wikipedia editors including @A Texas Historian:, @Jweiss11:, and others who also helped improve it. The article as it exists now looks so much better than what I made.

I created the original article on June 16, 2008 as a part of a campaign to complete articles for every head football coach for United States Naval Academy. Coach Wurtenburg was head coach for the 1894 season and led the team to a record of 4 wins, 1 loss, and 2 ties. Their only loss that year was to Pennsylvania who ended the season as undefeated national champions.

As you can tell by visiting the article page now, it has been greatly enhanced to include his coaching at Dartmouth and his time as a player at Yale where he was a part of the 1887 National Championship team, finishing with a record of 9 wins and 0 losses. After coaching, he became an official for college football.

Around 1904, Wurtenburg began pursuing a career as a physician. He set up a medical office near his house in New Haven, Connecticut, and became an ear, nose and throat specialist where he lived until his death in 1957.

It's truly rewarding to see an article that I started end up on the Wikipedia main page! Woo-hoo!!!

Media of the Day

Wikimedia MOTD September 17, 2015

A video I posted was declared Wikimedia's "Media of the Day" on September 17, 2015. Watch closely as the cheese monger at Whole Foods Market in Overland Park, Kansas cracks open a wheel of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on March 9, 2013 (part of a 2013 world record attempt by Whole Foods Market).

I recorded this video on March 9, 2013 and posted it the next day. It was a recording of one location where Whole Foods Market was attempting (and I believe succeeded) in setting a world record for the most number of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese at the same time. They were attempting this feat by using multiple stores and locations across their service footprint.

The best part was that we all got to sample!

Elizabeth MacDonough

Elizabeth MacDonough is the current Parliamentarian of the United States Senate. She is the first female to hold the position.[9][10]

The Parliamentarian of the United States Senate is the official advisor to the United States Senate on the interpretation of Standing Rules of the United States Senate and parliamentary procedure.

As the Presiding Officer of the Senate may not be fully aware of the parliamentary situation currently facing the Senate, staff from the Senate Parliamentarian's office sit on the Senate dais to advise the Presiding Officer on how to respond to inquiries and motions from Senators. The role of the parliamentary staff is strictly advisory; the Presiding Officer is in no way required to follow their advice, though they almost always do so. The office also refers bills to the appropriate committees on behalf of the Senate's Presiding Officer. If facing the dais, the Parliamentarian is the second from the left.

Hanson was promoted to become the fourth head college football coach for the Malone College Pioneers (now called Malone University) located in Canton, Ohio, United States, and he held that position for four seasons, from 2002[12] until 2005, when he resigned for personal reasons.[13] His career coaching record at Malone was 13 wins, 27 losses, and 0 ties.[14] This ranks him third at Malone in total wins and fourth at Malone in winning percentage.[15] His conference record in the Mid-States Football Association was 5 wins and 21 losses during his tenure.[16]

Hanson's inagural 2002 season started out with three consecutive wins[17] and a national ranking [18]but was answered with 3 consecutive losses. The team would win one more before finising 2002 with a 4-6 record. Despite the losing record, Malone outscored their opponents 245 to 196.[19]
