Bio
Hello! My name is Mark Pellegrini. I'm a PhD candidate in Electrical and computer engineering at the University of Delaware, whence I also got my bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering. I'm working under Guang Gao in CAPSL, as a small worker bee for the Cyclops64 project. Our group has been subcontracted by IBM to do hardware verification testing and system software development. I'm working concurrently on my PhD thesis and my master's thesis. My master's thesis is on rewriting the NAS Conjugate gradient benchmark to run efficiently on several exotic computer systems, including Cyclops64, the Cray XD1, and the Cray MTA-2. My PhD thesis is MemWatcher, a memory watching component that sits between the processor and the cache, and allows simplified debugging of parallel programs on Uniform Memory Access architectures.
I also have some background in biomedical engineering, and military history (particularly 20th century) is an interest of mine.
Me and Misplaced Pages
I've been on Misplaced Pages a long time (since August 2003). I'm an administrator, a bureaucrat, an oversighter, checkuserer, and arbitrator emeritus. I'm the "Featured Article Director", meaning that I schedule the featured articles that you see on the main page every day (as well as promoting featured articles and in general helping to make the whole process go smoothly). I'm also on the Wikimedia Foundation's Communications committee, and I'm a member of the ' Wikimedia Press Team' (meaning I help answer the many emails Misplaced Pages gets).
I've been to quite a few Misplaced Pages meetups, and I've met a fair number of other Wikipedians. They're good people.
I've written a lot of articles - over 400, at last count. I've also taken a fair number of pictures and requested a few articles. I'm a generalist, in that I contribute all over wikipedia. I've written articles in many different fields, including featured articles in history, science, and literature. I think, at one point or another, I've done every task there is to do on Misplaced Pages, from fixing double redirects and cut-and-paste page moves to presenting a case before the arbcom and writing custom software for Misplaced Pages (an upload bot).
After you've been here a while, you start to notice certain trends. I've started writing them down at Raul's laws of Misplaced Pages, which also includes a few discovered by others.
