• Willie joined Wikipedia in 2006, though he has spent most of his time on Wikibreak, partly out of disillusionment with the project but mostly because of a hectic work schedule. He got better, but who knows when Wikibreak will strike again.

• Willie has started more than 800 pages on English Wikipedia, plus about a dozen navbox templates and eight userboxes.

• Willie was, in fact, the original editor of the late, lamented Toll Booth Willie article. He regrets not having more verifiable sources. He also regrets gettin' outta da BOOTH!

• Willie used to keep a list of pages he'd started or edited heavily on his user page. It got long. Now it's on a separate page.

• Willie's proudest achievement on Wikipedia is never having created a "Trivia" or "In popular culture" section. You're welcome.

• Willie believes that the point of being an editor on Wikipedia is to create an encyclopedia. Bureaucracy and conflict may at times be necessary to achieve this end but they must always be seen as secondary to research, writing and editing.

• Willie consequently despairs at the amount of time he has spent working on his userpages, but vanity, Willie is thy name, and he enjoys talking about himself in the third person.

• Willie can say "Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg" (whether you want him to or not) and thinks it's criminal that Wikipedia doesn't use the full name in its article title.
