Hi! I'm known as Keilana around here. I've been around the project for about 5 years now, but I was largely inactive for a couple of years. I'm an administrator—I passed RfA in [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Neranei 2|November 2007]] and [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Keilana|January 2008]]—so I try to split my time between maintenance/janitorial stuff and content writing. I'm also a [[WP:MEDCOM|mediator emerita]], but may or may not become active again. As a native speaker of English, I try to [[WP:GOCE|copyedit]] as much as I can, mostly in the area of science and other associated articles. My content-writing is currently focussed on improving all 88 constellation articles; if you're interested in helping I would greatly appreciate any collaborators. :)

Sometimes you can find me on IRC (usually in #wikipedia-en-spi and #wikipedia-en-admins). That will get my attention about as quickly as a talk page message, so no worries if you're not on IRC (or, like me, can't figure out how to work the blamed thing).

I've got a [[User:Keilana/Recall|recall process]] for if I really frak up, but I'd rather that be a last resort. I'm usually quite reasonable, give me a talk page note; if you want more opinions on something I did, feel free to ask for input on AN or wherever.
If you're here because you wanted to know why I rolled back your perfectly reasonable edit at *insert community/talk page here*, that's probably because I'm checking my watchlist on my phone and hit the wrong button. If I didn't fix it myself, please revert me and if necessary, whack me with a trout/bass/cod/fish of your choice.

Hi! I'm known as Keilana around here. I've been around the project for about 5 years now, but I was largely inactive for a couple of years. I'm an administrator—I passed RfA in November 2007 and January 2008—so I try to split my time between maintenance/janitorial stuff and content writing.

People periodically give me shiny things. As I am actually a magpie pecking at the keyboard, I appreciate them greatly! I was given several lovely gifts by kind people before I became Keilana, but haven't yet uncovered them. I will eventually!

Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful closing statement in Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Muhammad images. You and the other two administrators have made more difference to a contentious article than most editors might imagine, and for this you all deserve to be recognised. The Dispute Resolution Barnstar, which "may be awarded to an editor who makes a contribution to one of the dispute resolution forums that exceptionally furthers the aims of the project", is I think the most appropriate.
My very best wishes, AGK[•] 23:47, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
