Hello there! I'm Ed Erhart. I've been a volunteer editor on Wikipedia since March 2006 and a site-wide administrator since September 2009. In the past, I have been the editor-in-chief of the Signpost, a Wikimedia movement-focused newspaper, and a coordinator of the Military History Project. Aside from these responsibilities, much of my time on Wikipedia has been spent writing. I have concentrated on early-twentieth-century warships with a particular interest in the South American dreadnought race that gripped Argentina, Brazil, and Chile from 1907 to 1914. I have helped write twenty-seven featured articles, a quality marker awarded to "the best articles Wikipedia has to offer". Most have furthered the goals of Operation Majestic Titan, a long-term collaborative project that will see all battleship and battlecruiser articles rewritten and combined into a single featured topic. When not contributing to Wikipedia as a volunteer, I work with the Wikimedia Foundation's Communications department. My staff account is located at Ed Erhart (WMF); edits, statements, or other contributions made from my volunteer account (this one) are mine alone and do not reflect the views of my employer. Any accidental cross-pollination between the two accounts, such as forgetting to log out, etc., will be swiftly corrected.
