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

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.
