From Encyclopedia Dramatica

Andrew Garrett, a.k.a. Werdna, is meh. He used to hang out in ED IRC, but he started whining like a little bitch and hit the trail, much to Ket's dismay. He couldn't make real articles so he had to use his bots to be cool. It took him five tries to become a TOW administrator. His e-mail is Andrew@epstone.net.

Werdna is famous for inventing a doomsday device on Wikipedia called the “abuse filter” to combat Grawp.

“	While Werdna’s technical skill is admirable and I do think he is adequately informed about Wikipedia’s working, I find his behaviour frequently rude and immature.… My primary concern is with the frequent behaviour and attitudes that can only be termed sexual harrassment toward the female participants of the Wikipedia IRC channels.… I remain firm that this is unacceptable conduct for a potential adminstrator.… I will not support [Werdna’s request for adminship].	„

Hi and welcome to my userpage. My name is Andrew, I'm a 17 year old male, and my birthday is January 30. I currently live in Australia, but was born in San Francisco, giving me dual citizenship with Australia and the United States. I have visited the United States on two occasions since I left there at the age of two, once in 2000, and again on exchange in 2006. I want to travel much more when I'm older, and it's one of my life goals to visit every continent. I'm a libertarian, and believe in the absolute right of freedom of speech and expression, and anonymity for every person. I took the political compass test, and had the following result: Economic Left/Right: 0.25 'Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.41. This is a long way from most world leaders. I'm brought up as a catholic, but am largely agnostic, believing only in church practices and teachings that I can see as correct. I am a strong proponent of following what is right for our society, not what is labelled as right by our law or religious codes. I am also strongly anti-DRM, and refuse to purchase any music that is 'protected' with Digital Rights Management technology. I am, the creator of Werdnabot, and I'm happy to answer any and all queries on it. Please feel free to edit my userpage. Really, please do. I trust you to add something useful, meaningful, or to change it to make it look nicer. — Werdna talk
