Hello, I'm Ted. I'm a Wikipedia Administrator, and most of my admin is dedicated to keeping this website free of copyright issues and plagiarism. I'm also a functionary and served on the Arbitration Committee, 2023-24. As part of that work, I look to investigate and resolve privacy related issues. Outside of behind-the-scenes work, I write about whatever interests me; I have some pretty eclectic taste. If you have a question or just want to talk, feel free to post on my talk page.
About me
This user has been an administrator for 6years, 7months and 10days. (verify)
This user is a guy. His pronouns are He/Him. Just so you know.
I meant to drop this on your talk page a while back, but I ended up taking an extended break from the wiki for a while. At any rate, this is for your excellent and tireless work with WP:CCI, especially in your handling of Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Dr. Blofeld CCI cleanup. I hope that other editors learn from your example in diplomacy and assuming good faith with other contributors, and should you become an admin, there's no doubt in my mind that you're gonna be successful.

Recently appointed arbcom clerk trainee prepared to do a great efficient job. Impressive amount of work relating to copyright-related matters with particularly notable contributions to WP:CCI where cases can linger for years and require someone with commendable effort to reduce this backlog. Money emoji fits the bill

Field Marshal Money's Sword
I humbly offer the CEO of CCI this sword - highly ornamented but still-guaranteed to dice up copyvios. Please wield it in defense of the Encyclopedia from copyright violators, their works, and in the leadership of the Inquisition. ♠Vami_IV†♠ 21:04, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
Now you and Diannaa just need a team! Seriously, though, it takes a generous spirit to forgive. I gotta emulate that. The Cow Man salutes you! Kind regards, El_C 11:17, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
You do excellent work in copyright, an area I find too complex for me to touch. Here, have this barnstar. Heythereimaguy (talk) 23:50, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
