Welcome! I'm Joe Decker, I'm an editor and former administrator here on Wikipedia.

When I'm not editing Wikipedia, I'm a professional nature photographer{{cite news|url=http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2009/11/09/fashion/20091110-physical-slideshow_index.html|title=Gear Test: Camera Bags|last=Siber|first=Kate|date=9 November 2009|work=The New York Times|accessdate=15 June 2011}} based in the East Bay region of California.{{cite news|url=https://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2010/11/05/arts-hunting-the-elusive-image|title=Hunting the elusive image|last=Wallace|first=Rebecca|date=5 November 2010|work=Palo Alto Weekly|accessdate=11 March 2011}} My job occasionally leaves me out of communication for as much as a couple weeks as a time.

I am not related to the "World's Fittest Man", nor the late baseball pitcher of the same name.

• Yep, I do have some Userboxen, as well as a few milestones in my WikiHistory, and a few barnstars and other kind words I've received.

• An essay on the problems and perils of using breaking news sources in writing encyclopedia articles.

• I have an alternate account for use at public hotspots and so on.


I'm better suited for WikiGnoming than writing, and that shows in most of my work here. But I do believe that it is worth the effort to try to write decent articles, even when that doesn't come naturally to me. Articles are what we're here for.
