User:Faustus37

I was an odd child. While others were busy reading storybooks, I was often found with my beloved set of 1976 World Book Encyclopedias. I suppose Wikipedia is the next logical step.

I'm interested in geography and politics of the western United States, particularly my home state of Idaho.

[edit] Current Projects

Now over 3,000 edits. Rejoice.

Since I have the attention span of a gnat, I'm all over the place. Here's an attempt to summarize:

All Idaho governors and members of Congress since statehood have at least stub articles now. There are still a few to go from the territorial period, but I'm getting there. I'm particuarly pleased with the article on Moses Alexander. Related templates I created include:

• IdahoUSSenators
• IDTerrGovernors
• IdahoUSRepresentatives
• Idaho-politician-stub

I've also been working on (but recently mainly neglecting) a list of high schools in Idaho and articles on the schools. I've started most of the Idaho high school articles as well as created the IdahoSchool template specifically for the project.

I am trying to start a Wikiproject Idaho, but thus far I haven't gathered enough interest to get serious about it. Leave something on my Talk page if interested.

I'm also a member of Wikiproject Freemasonry.
