Hi, Cam here! I've been active on Wikipedia since March of 2007.  Most of my contribution to Mainspace Wikipedia comes in the form of article-creation & writing; I've created 19 articles since my beginnings here, ranging from extremely small stub-articles all the way up to GA and FA-class.  I was one of the Coordinators of the Military History Wikiproject from September 2008-March 2010, when I stepped down due to Real Life priorities. I reapplied for Coordinatorship in September 2010, and am currently one of the editors of ''The Bugle'' - Milhist's monthly newsletter. I was the first Administrator appointed in the year 2009. If I do anything stupid in that capacity, you may beat me with a trout.

Most of my actual content work falls under the broad category of 20th Century Military History, with an obsessive interest in Canada's involvement in the Second World War, the Imperial Japanese Navy (particularly the battleships), and the Attrition battles of 1916-1918.  I occasionally delve into areas such as the Eastern Front, Maritime Warfare (non-IJN), American Foreign Policy during the Cold War, and basically anything to do with political historiography.

I tend to focus most of my wikignoming around the review departments at the ACR and FAC levels. I've also become involved with [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Featured articles/FA-Team|The FA-Team]], a group of editors aiming to provide technical support to articles trying to achieve FA, specializing in footnote formatting and fact-checking.  In the administrator world, you'll find me mostly at [[WP:AIV]] and [[WP:RCP]] tracking vandalism and abusive accounts.

In actuality, I'm 20, living in [[Ottawa]], the capital of [[Canada]], and in my third year of a Combined Honours Degree in International Politics and History at [[Carleton University]]. At this point, my degree takes up virtually all of my time, along with competitive debate in the [[Canadian University Society for Intercollegiate Debate]]. I'm a vocal and dedicated [[Democratic Socialism|Social Democrat]], a topic area on which I welcome debate and discussion (so long as it remains civil). I read voraciously - always having at least three good books on the go - and keep a large research book list found [[User:Climie.ca/Library|here]]. In my spare time (which is surprisingly scarce), I'm either reading, writing, skiing/cycling and walking in the winter/summer, listening to music (primarily classical Baroque - the [[Johann Sebastian Bach|Bach]] Organ Works in particular), writing, or spending time with friends.

*''"There is no moral difference between a [[Stealth Bomber]] and a [[Suicide Bomber]]; both kill innocent people for political purposes!"'' -Tony Benn
*''"War is not about victory and defeat; it is about death and the infliction of death. It represents the complete and total failure of the human spirit"'' -[[Robert Fisk]]
* ''"If you tremble indignation at every injustice then you are a comrade of mine"'' -[[Ernesto Guevara]]
* ''"Debate cases: The art of being a complete asshole to everyone who knows less about the world than you."'' - W.M.
* ''"Orwell feared were those who would ban books. Huxley feared those who would make it so there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy...In short, Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us. This is about the possibility that Huxley, not Orwell, was right"'' - [[Neil Postman]], ''Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business.'', p. xx
* ''"Wait. For I'll return, defying every death. And let those who do not wait say that I was lucky. They will never understand That in the midst of death, You with you waiting saved me. Only you and I know how I survived. It's because you waited, as no one else did."'' - 3rd Stanza, [[Wait for Me (Poem)|"Wait for Me"]], [[Konstantin Simonov]]
