Hello there! I've just been made an admin by Luxor. Why, you may ask?

Well, first and foremost, I have a lot of experience with this site. I'm probably one of its oldest users still around, having joined in 2008. Having been a micronationalist even longer, I have a lot of experience with all things micronational and I'm willing to share what I know to help newer micronations start off and make good wiki pages. I attempted to help rebuild a community here upon this site being brought back to life in mid-2012, but my efforts were thwarted by Harshvardhan (Vedistan), who treated the site like his personal pet project.

Furthermore, this wiki holds a treasure trove of deleted articles. Although most are outdated, many contain important historical information that cannot be found elsewhere; as an admin, I can see deleted pages, and this will be a huge help in my work as a micronational historian.

Also, it seems that there is a lot of behind-the-scenes technical work that needs to be done - deletion of unused files and broken redirects, categorisation of articles and images, etc - that only an admin can do and which I am happy to spend my time doing.

Many of you will be aware that since the original MicroWiki Community moved to a new site in 2010, there have been two wikis claiming that name. I currently own and run the larger of the two, inhabited by the original community. In the past, our two communities have gone from fighting for the title of the "One True MicroWiki" to attempting to work together or even merge. Little to no good has ever come out of such interactions, and so I want to make it absolutely clear that I am not here as a representative of micronation.org. In fact, I won't even mention the site. I'm just here as me, and I have no interest in my own wiki "winning" some alleged "war" between the sites.

So yeah; hello again to micronations.wikia.com! I hope my stay here can be more productive and helpful than my last one.
