Please, feel free to edit my user page! I'm not very creative. Oh, be nice... My Wikinews-birthday is June 11 -- I began my career at Wikinews adding an "a"...

I was made an administrator on July 22, 2005 -- please feel free to leave a message on my talk page if I can assist you in some way!

I was made an arbitrator on January 31, 2006. Please read about the Wikinews Arbitration Committee for more information about the final step in dispute resolution.

I was named a bureaucrat on June 23, 2006. I'll be more than happy to assist you with rename requests, bot flags and the like. Please leave me a message.

I am the administrator of the Wikinews mailing list. Please feel free to contact me with list issues.

You have my permission to correct my spelling in any edit I make anywhere on Wikinews!

My email address is [mailto:chiacomo@gmail.com chiacomo@gmail.com]. If I can help you, I will!

I'm concerned with NPOV issues, policy, and good journalism.

You'll find me sourcing articles, copyediting, and generally hanging around.

I work, full time, as a telecommunications system manager for a regional company located in Tennessee. Previously, I have worked for the non-profit Oprheum Theatre in Memphis, Tennessee, the non-profit Center for Southern Folklore, and one of the Gannett newspapers as well as Time Warner Communications. I've been very lucky in finding work and it's given me a broad education and perspective.
