[edit] About James

James hasn't bothered to write anything about himself here. He invites others to enhance this section, or, for that matter, anything else on the page. He does ask that people be truthful, and cite sources for controversial facts.

[edit] James on Wikipedia

James made his first edit on October 16, 2004, having edited anonymously for a few months previous. He is proud of writing the following featured articles:

• Canadian Pacific Railway - on Main Page on April 23, 2005
• BC Rail - on Main Page on October 4, 2005.

He became an administrator on June 5, 2005. He made his 10,000th edit on January 26, 2006.

In terms of politics, he follows m:Mergism and m:Immediatism. In practice, this means that he places a high emphasis on quality in the encyclopedia, but also believes that quality problems should not be resolved by deletion, but can rather be resolved by merging low-quality articles into high-quality ones.

He is also User:JYolkowski on de:, simple:, and commons:.
