[edit] Greetings
My handle is a word in the Irish Language that translates into English variously, but 'extensive', 'ample', and and 'plentiful' are three interpretations. (I do not speak Irish, although I am of Irish descent and would love to learn the language someday). The handle indicates my interest in making contributions to a wide range of articles on Wikipedia.
Please feel free to share your comments, suggestions, compliments or constructive criticism regarding my performance on Wikipedia on my talk page. If you prefer, you can e-mail me. Either way, in most cases I will reply on your talk page.
[edit] My edits and interests
You can see my contributions summary for this username here. Before registering this username on April 3 2006, I made 367 edits anonymously, which you can see here. My first Wikipedia edit was to the Single-stock futures article on February 3 2006, and you can see that edit here.
My focus so far has primarily included topics related to:
- The city of Chicago, the Chicagoland metropolitan area, and the state of Illinois
- The animal life of the planet Earth
- Business, Finance and Economics
- Music, particularly Jazz and Blues
- Politics and Philosophy
- Topics relevant to the Science Fiction and Fantasy genres of literature and film, especially:
- The author C. J. Cherryh and her works
- The fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons and the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the game
I am interested in just about everything, however, so my edits tend to be pretty wide-ranging. I also fix broken links, disambiguate, wikify, revert vandalism and do other minor cleanup work as I encounter problems that need to be addressed.
