I'm Stephen. With a P-H. It's just like Steven with a V, but spelled right.

After editing (99% mechanical and grammar fixes) for years as a so-called "IP User" (and proud of being, apparently, a rare IP User to receive a Barnstar) I've broken down and set up a Wikipedia ID. I did it on Sadie Hawkins Day, February 29[1], 2012. Thus, I set it up exactly 220 years after the birth of Gioachino Rossini--or to put it another way, on Rossini's 55th birthday.
My user name is a play on my own real name--with which I've been signing my edits and comments here for several years now, while editing as an IP user.
My signature is:
- Uporządnicki
It's Polish, but it's not really; I've conflated two Polish words. There are several Polish words based on "Rząd" (pronounced, approximately, "zhond," but with a nasal "n" as in the French "En"). They have to do with order, government, authority.
- Uporządkować [oo-po-zhond-KO-vach] is the verb to rearrange or to re-order (in the sense of changing the order of things).
- Porządnicki [po-zhond-NEETS-kee] is someone (male, or else it's -icka) who's a stickler for detail.
