Hi! I am Larry Pieniazek and I am not notable. I am extremely proud that User:Josette was my wife. I served on the WMF meta:Ombudsman commission for 2010. (While serving, I was temporarily suspended from all Checkuser roles and from my role as Steward. These suspensions were noted with I was an admin, bureaucrat, checkuser and oversighter on Commons and have access to OTRS. I was also an admin and checkuser on en:wp (the English Wikipedia), and I was also an admin, bureaucrat and checkuser on meta: (the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki), and would be happy to help you if I can. Feel free to email me about that or anything else. I think meatball:DefendEachOther is a great idea and I try to practice it. For more information, see: Wikipedia:User:Lar, or see my WikiMatrix of most all the wikis that I have ID's on. Projects and neat things
SocksI have one sock here: Larbot (talk · contributions · Move log · Statistics · logs · block log), which someday may be a bot but for now, just reserving the name (and using it as a non admin ID when I need to test things out) Favorite PicsTaken and uploadedA few of my favourite pictures from among those I have taken uploaded here...
Drawn by meA few images created by other means than cameras.
Found on FlickrA few pics I found on Flickr and convinced the original photographer to license so we could use them
Found at other sitesA few pics found at other sites which were already free, or which were old enough.
FoundA few favourites I did NOT upload, but just found.
FlommonsHere are my pictures via Flommons, a truly neat tool by Magnus. |

They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy. You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold contributing here and assume good faith for the intentions of others. This is a wiki - it is really easy. More information is available at the Community Portal.
