User:Jack

Welcome! I'm Bydand. I live in the city of Sheffield, England. I started using the English Wikipedia over 4 and a half years ago, in 2006, and in that time have made over 7500 edits to it. In July 2010, I created my global account, after changing my name so I could do this with more ease. You can view my user page on each of the main Wikimedia projects on the image on the left, or my interwiki here.

I have rollback and reviewing rights on the English Wikipedia. I also own the accounts Jack and Jackrm, which I have kept from usurping previous usernames, and they are now used for tedious tasks such as using AWB. My edits mainly consist of reqeusts for adminship, articles for deletion, and discuss matters at administrators' noticeboard on incidents and other talk pages. I increasingly edit mainspace as well as reverting vandalism, and I ensure all content added by myself and other editors is verifiable. I have uploaded several images and sound clips, and some logos and non-free images. Most of my edits nowadays are done in my free time.

The word bydand is the motto of Clan Gordon, which my family is historically a sept of. There is a slight disagreement of what bydand means, but one of two main theories is that it is a contraction of the Scots English phrase 'Bide and Fecht,' meaning to stand and fight. Stand and fight could be seen as some type of motto for being bold or for vandal fighting!  Unified login: Bydand is the unique login of this user for all public Wikimedia projects. ( verify )
