BigHaz is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia on April 10

I'm a historian in Brisbane, Queensland specialising in the contemporary Middle East and currently completing an Honours degree under Renee Worringer (who is sadly not notable yet) and Bob Elson, so blame the call of the Ivory Tower if I'm not around when you want me, although I edit pretty much anything and everything that moves around here. As of March 2007, I'm also your friendly neighbourhood admin. The pay's lousy and I get shouted at a lot, but it's an opportunity to help this website even further.
If you're wondering why a page you created or worked on was deleted, please read this page first before posting on my Talk page. Your question may well be answered therein, or at least it will help you frame the question in such a way as to get a good answer.
As a note to those who insist on "erasing" or "obliterating" either my Userpage or my User Talk page, just remember that any and all actions on Wikipedia are both reversible and traceable.

[edit] Current Status of Eurovision Work
Articles created for all winning songs which had not been previously marked as such (or flat-out had not existed). Status: Completed: Links now exist from one year's winner to the next. Most of these were newly-created articles.
- Next Stage: Creation of articles on all competing songs in each Contest, with links to the next entry from that country and (where applicable) the next song performed in the relevant Contest.
- Current Status: Armenia, Andorra, Bulgaria, Albania, Moldova, Belarus, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Monaco, Morocco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal completed. Romania in progress.
- Stage Three: Change links in each ESC page from external links to internal links to the relevant pages (where applicable). Additionally, re-order the table to show running order, rather than alphabetical order
- Second Project: Writeups of all ESCs, featuring information from reliable sources on odd events happening in them.
The box added here is as a shortcut to the [country] in the Eurovision Song Contest articles.
Since everyone seems unhealthily obsessed with the Eurovision DYKs every now and then, I present:
