Aranel, also known as Sarah, has been an editor of the English Wikipedia since August 2, 2004 and an administrator since November 4, 2004. She has made a ridiculous number of edits, mostly because of her category and other housekeeping work. She also dislikes talking about herself in the third person and is going to stop now.
I am actually named Sarah, but so is your little sister, your great-aunt, your second-grade teacher, and at least three people in your graduating class, the result of which is that the user name Sarah has been one of the first ones taken on every place requiring a user name since the dawn of time¹. Fortunately, it's an extremely durable name with eminently respectable origins. One hundred years from now, I predict that it will still seem like every third of fourth girl is named Sarah.
Sarah means princess and comes from Hebrew שרה. The Quenya word with the same meaning is Aranel, conveniently already appearing in a form that is appropriate for a feminine name.
My current signature contains my name in red because red is the coolest color ever.
¹And usually it was registered and promptly abandoned. See User:Sarah.
Having apparently abandoned my degree in physics, I've been nitpicking and expanding Middle-earth and Tolkien-related articles. I was initially quite delighted to have finally found an outlet for my vast stores of completely useless Tolkien knowledge, but then I discovered the joys of working on categories, which is endless entertaining for someone with my organization tendencies.
I don't just work on categories and Tolkien articles. I have also contributed to such subjects as French science fiction (I don't know much, but I can translate) and looms.
