my blog is I'm Fr Andrew Smith, a priest at [http://pistevowww.livejournalholyannunciation.com/ αλλά αμαρτωλούς εις μετάνοιανnet Holy Annunciation Orthodox Church] (''but sinners to repentance'' or ''but sinners to a complete turnaround''), where you can find out more about me. in a fairly diving-in-the-deep-end kinda way. I also have a [[w:User:Pistevo|userpage]] with a lot of userboxes on [[w:Main_Page|Wikipedia]]Brisbane, Australia.

i am an Orthodox residing My main interests in australia, hence my interest OrthodoxWiki are in the [[Orthodoxy in Australasia|Church in australia Australia and its near neighbours]]. noticing the lack of information about Orthodoxy in australia on OrthodoxWiki, i decided that the situation wasn't going to improve without personally doing something about it. A similar motivation was involved in adopting the featured articles (particularly as I seem to have exhausted most available information about Australasia), and in deciding to write writing up important biographies, particularly of ascetics (mainly because those are available to me)and missionaries.

On 14/July/052005, i I was made a sysop of OrthodoxWiki; while being sysop . I have put together a brief listing of [[User:Pistevo/meta|my OrthodoxWikiphilosophy]] - though it may be out of date, special attention has been given to my pet topic of Orthodoxy I haven't really looked at it in Australasiaquite some time. The greatest difficulties in this task are the ease A list of being misinterpreted, dealing with objections that arise when people want an unreasonable exception from OW rules and regulations, and deciding what information fits the criteria of an Orthodox encyclopediamy contributions to OrthodoxWiki can be found [[Special:Contributions/Pistevo|here]]. I have made over 5000 edits on OrthodoxWiki.

If I have had two articles that err, I began, and/or largely wrote, made into feature articles: [[Orthodoxy in Australasia]] (15 July 2005, since split into [[Orthodoxy in Australia]] and [[Orthodoxy in New Zealand]] due to excess size) and St [[Irene Chrysovalantou]] (28 April 2006)do so unintentionally. A list of my contributions can be found [[Special:Contributions/Pistevo|here]]. I have made ''2449 [[User:ASDamick/counter.js|edits]]'' Please try to look on OrthodoxWiki (at [[July 26]], 2006), including ''195 template edits'', indicating my construction of a number of templates for use errors with forgiveness and gentle reproof before bringing in Australasia the insults and Oceania/or prejudice.
