I'll use this post to try to clear up some of that. Feel free to ask questions.

My first real Internet alias was rgmusashi, which stands for rocket gang musashi. I first entered the Internet Pokémon fandom in 1999. For a couple years I was a Shipping Forum moderator at TRHQ. People there who knew me usually called me rg. Some time before I joined Bulbagarden in 2004, I made the letters into a name. Thus, Argy is pronounced like the letters R and G.

I have three positions at Bulbagarden. On the forums, I am an administrator, meaning I can ban anyone, delete or edit any post, and alter the forums' appearance and settings, among other powers. I visit the forums several times a day, but by no means do I read every post or visit every forum.

On Bulbapedia, I am a style editor, which really doesn't mean a lot in terms of specific duties. I edit articles to conform to Bulbapedia style. I also edit for spelling and grammar. I am on the editorial board, which means I am one of the few who makes the "big decisions" regarding the wiki.

My most important position is that of editor in chief of Bulbanews. I edit every story for spelling, grammar, AP Style, and content, regardless of who wrote it. In any case, most of the stories you read on Bulbanews are written by me. I have an associate of arts degree in journalism and am one year away from earning a bachelor of science. I also serve as the opinion and a Web editor of my university's newspaper, and I work as a news clerk at the newspaper in the city in which I live. To make a long story short, I love running Bulbanews, and I am well-qualified to do so.

At a later time I will write more about Bulbanews/Bulbapedia and their functions and missions. Please subscribe if you would like to learn more. ]]> Argy http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/1378/introduction-what-i-do-here-71/
