About me: I began editing Wikipedia during the late night of Tuesday, November 4, 2003, or the early morning hours of Wednesday, November 5, 2003. I became an administrator on Monday, May 24, 2004.^[1] I am among the earliest editors and administrators on Wikipedia.

My primary areas of interest are, in alphabetical order, China, comic books, economics, history, and international relations.

Past

Last update to this "Past" section: 2020-02-19. The lists in this section do not include the many pages in which I make small edits, fixing factual, grammatical, and stylistic errors and wikifying text.

Pages I moved to proper location (name given is current location)

I do considerable work on page names, enough that I found it to not be worthwhile to maintain a list and stopped doing so. Some pages from the past:

- bubble tea - Chinese yo-yo - D&D Adventurers League - Dream of the Red Chamber - Great Game - hostage crises: Beslan school hostage crisis, Budyonnovsk hospital hostage crisis, Moscow theater hostage crisis - Netherlands - yin and yang

Redirects or disambiguations I created or worked on

I do a ton of work on redirects and disambiguations, enough that I found it to not be worthwhile to maintain a list and stopped doing so.

Awards

		The Royalty and Nobility Barnstar
		For having started the article pertaining to HIH Masako the Crown Princess of Japan, I, BolinhasFofas, hereby award you The Barnstar of Royalty and Nobility.

Administrators' Newsletter
December 2024
Following an RFC, the policy on restoration of adminship has been updated. All former administrators may now only regain the tools following a request at the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard within 5 years of their most recent admin action. Previously this applied only to administrators deysopped for inactivity. Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, T5, has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used. The arbitration case Yasuke (formerly titled Backlash to diversity and inclusion) has been closed. An arbitration case titled Palestine-Israel articles 5 has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 14 December.
