Hi and welcome to my userpage. My name is Andrew Garrett, I'm a 15 year old male, and my birthday is January 30. I currently live in Australia, but was born in San Francisco, giving me dual citizenship with Australia and the United States. I have visited the United States on two occasions since I left there at the age of two, once in 2000, and again on exchange in 2006. I want to travel much more when I'm older, and it's one of my life goals to visit every continent. I'm a libertarian, and believe in the absolute right of freedom of speech and expression, and anonymity for every person. I took the political compass test, and had the following result: Economic Left/Right: 0.25 'Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.41. This is a long way from most world leaders. I'm brought up as a catholic, but am largely agnostic, believing only in church practices and teachings that I can see as correct. I am a strong proponent of following what is right for our society, not what is labelled as right by our law or religious codes. I am also strongly anti-DRM, and refuse to purchase any music that is 'protected' with Digital Rights Management technology. I first joined this project in July of 2005, after editing anonymously for some time. A lot of people think I'm an administrator. This is wrong, I've had three requests for adminship, two of which I self-snowballed, and one had no consensus at approximately 65% support. I am, however, the creator of Werdnabot, and I'm happy to answer any and all queries on it. Please feel free to edit my userpage. Really, please do. I trust you to add something useful, meaningful, or to change it to make it look nicer. — Werdna talk criticism

[edit] What I do

I started off working on articles although I very quickly became interested in RC Patrol. Following this, I worked mainly on AFD and RFA. Recently, however, I've returned to mainly article editing, contributing significantly to the articles on Knox Grammar School and TA Spring. The most important Wikipedia policies to me are 3RR (I personally follow the 1RR), No personal attacks, and Verifiability.
