What I do here
I'm a Wikipedia custodian. Some people refer to us as sysops or adminitsrators, but I prefer Moink's term. I have keys to the mop room, and I mop things up. If you need a sysop for something, let me know on my talk page.
I enjoy writing about my heroes, who are many. You might be inspired by the stories of Commander Daniel Ellsberg, alcoholic Bill W, yogi B.K.S. Iyengar, priests Daniel and Philip Berrigan, slave revolutionary Nat Turner, cowgirl Connie Douglas Reeves, statesman Mohammed Mossadegh, translator Katharine Gun, and soldier Joseph Darby.
I also, somewhat perversely, enjoy shining a light on influencial people who would rather not attract too much attention, such as Philip D. Zelikow, Allen Welsh Dulles, Khalid bin Mahfouz, James E. Sharp, Norwin Meneses Cantarero, and John M. Deutch.
Brag list
In addition, I have created or contributed meaningfully to a wide range of articles, many of which are linked in my brag list. I've also done a lot of work with Categories, I've added a number of public domain images, and I have moved many quotations to Wikiquote. I occasionally work in the Simple English version of Wikipedia.
