Backlogs:

as of 18 February 2010

• Old deletion requests are still opened.
• Many files moved to Commons requiring review.
• Too many unprocessed files without source.
• Many files are OTRS pending for too long.
• There are 128 requested merges.
• The Vandalismpatrol has over 1190238 unpatrolled anonymous edits.

If you're unhappy with some admin-ish thing I've done...

...I'd recommend you drop me a line on my talk page.

Actually, I'd recommend you take a deep breath, make sure I actually did screw up (entirely possible), then drop me a line.

Please, do not email me about admin stuff; I try to keep everything on-wiki if at all possible. If I've blocked you, there's always {{Unblock}}; I also keep all blocked user talk pages on my watchlist, and will check back on them a few hours after I've left my notice.
