According to Wikimedia's servers, it is now Monday 29 July 2024 Universal Time.

I'm currently interning at a magazine, so the next month will be limited by way of my time.

Resume |  [mailto:nicholasmoreau@gmail.com Email]  |  MySpace  |  Carbonmade (graphic design portfolio)

Hello there, my name is Nicholas Moreau, and I'm a student at Humber College's Advertising and Graphic Design program. I am the English Canada press contact for Wikimedia Foundation projects, on Wikimedia's Communications Committee, an administrator on the English Wikipedia, and one of only nine accredited reporters on Wikinews. I also tried to steward the Wikibooks project "Wikijunior" during its initial months.

I joined Wikipedia just before Christmas in 2003, with my first logged in edits in It's a Wonderful Life. I gradually made a series of puny "stub-sized articles", gradually morphing into a full-fledged editor, writing articles on all kinds of topics. As my first period at school was a spare, I asked for adminship, so that I could monitor vandalism on the project. Since then, things have just happened.

When the whole 2005 Seigenthaler incident started to cool down, the scientific journal Nature released a comparison of Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica. The Associated Press wrote an article on the study, rather complimentary of Wikipedia. Along with Nature's testification to the accuracy of Wikipedia, they also complimented its short lag time, and breadth of topics. Their example of Wikipedia's breadth was "Extreme ironing", an article I started.

Outside of Wikimedia projects and school, I volunteer as curator for the World Art Gallery (WAG), the world's first and only permanent mail art-only gallery. WAG is located in Shoppers World Brampton. WAG's collection is gradually being uploaded onto a Wikicity devoted to the gallery, wag.wikicities.com.

I am not French chef Nicolas Moreau.

Zanimum's fast facts

 * Zanimum has jokingly signed pages with the name Senor Wencas (village pump, Spanish wikipedia being blocked by NetSweeper), Little Orphan Annie (talk:main page, to get the orphaned pages list updated)
 * Zanimum is not a teenage witch, although he very much likes Sabrina. Don't ask, someone thought I was psychic.
 * Zanimum convinced Jimbo to let the community create an article on him. Until then Jimbo Wales redirected to Jimbo's talk page.

Zanimum and Jwrosenzweig volunteered to become Inspectors of the Election for the Association of Members' Advocates inaugural election. He and Jwrosenzweig successfully held the first ever election on Wikipedia. See AMA Coordinator Election.

Favourite quote
"Comedy is really difficult. One thing that happens with comedy writers is that they are all really good at coming up with beginnings - really good set ups, but they can't figure out how to pay them off. Well now I'll share with you one of the real secrets to the Muppets. What my father figured out was if you can't get out, you just either blow something up, or you eat something, or you just throw penguins in the air." - Brian Henson, Muppet Show Intros, 1999 (from the Muppet Wikicity)

A message intended for my 2000th edit's "Edit Summary". It was abbreviated as there's actually a limit to how long the "Edit Summary" can be. Whimper.:

I've been "fasting", so to speak, from Wikipedia for an eternity now, 12 days, since my last edit on December 8, 2003, an article on Paulina Gretzky, appropriately 1999, in commemoration of her father Wayne. This, yes, is my 2000th edit. I batted around with a friend (User:Aurang) on what to do for 2000. Lilo and Stitch, Sesame Street, what to do, I had no clue. In the end, I ended up sticking to something near and dear to me, my home town of Brampton. I'd like to thank ever one who've helped me on my way, especially those who've put up with me through this last little bit, I'll respond to my talkpage in a bit. My first edit (20:38, 20 Dec 2002) was surprisingly marked "minor", and was about the holiday film, "It's A Wonderful Life". Well, we've got a Wonderful project here. Just as I will forever consider myself a Canadian, no matter where I live, I'll forever consider myself a Wikipedian. Vive le Canada! Vive le Wikipedia!

Hi, I figured having made 1840 edits, I should give myself a proper page. I'm Nicholas, a Canadian student who loves entertainment, my country, and oddities, and tend to edit these articles in Wikipedia.

I'm a sysops, and I enforce the laws of the encyclopedia mostly every week day at school, from 8:30-9:45 EST, so vandals don't stand a chance early in the day on the eastern seaboard.

I try to put my input into any discuss where my views might be needed, and I always keep a fair NPOV look on articles.

- Nick/Zanimum

I also edit in Wikipedia Quotes, Simple English.
