¡Bienvenidos a WikiAnswers! My name is Squirrel Man, as seen above in my Wiki-holic badge. If you have any problems, please do send me a message. If the matter is personal, e-mail me at:

Just like all of you, I started out as a normal contributor who had stumbled upon WikiAnswers one day. I was immediately hooked and have been on ever since. I am but a Supervisor wandering the various categories and forums on WikiAnswers for anything that catches the eye.
One can easily witness the asininity of vandals by heading towards the flagged questions section. A whole weekend around them for the Operation: Unflag contest....simply too much to handle.
Caution: AnswerThon Xtremes are not for the faint of heart. This Answerthon was an epic four day contest that ran from Friday-Monday. It seemed that the best method of winning was to find a way to continue answering questions while avoiding the watchful eye of the "big cheese" at work.

Woo! The Holiday AnswerThon! I was quite fortunate when this contest rolled around. The majority of the past winners and/or WikiHolics were either sick or at the Answer Summit during that time. Thus, I claimed first prize in a tie with Aggie80 (who actually did go to the Answer Summit; how he won is summed up in his quote: "Sleep is optional").
The AnswerThon is a phenomenal contest in which each user attempts to answer as many questions as humanly possible within a 48 hour period (generally over the weekends, making the capability of participating that much easier). Answering as many questions as possible+prizes= must participate in!
Haven't you all wondered how to spin a basketball on your finger? It's a skill that many people seem to be mesmerized by, yet it isn't as challenging as it may seem. The video I created for the WikiAnswers 9 cubed Video Answer Contest won 3rd place (luckily- the competition was tough). View the question here (the video is in the related links):

The mentoring program is a phenomenal program run by Ganderton. When you first become a supervisor, many of the tools and priviliges may seem overwhelming at first glance. Mentors are there to help answer any questions, concerns, and problems. They will guide you along the way to make sure you understand how everything works, preventing any sudden purchases of stress relievers! My fabulous mentor, Grey and Grumpy (commonly known as G&G or Grumps) was possibly the greatest mentor out there. He didn't force anything and assisted me in my understanding of the way of the supervisor. Unfortunately, he has requested to leave WikiAnswers and cannot be found anymore. Hopefully he will reconsider and return at any moment.
