You know Wikipedia has made it in the world when "Weird Al" Yankovic mentions it in "White and Nerdy!" We rock! Getting white and nerdy at Albino Blacksheep!
Thank you all for the warm welcome-home. There is no greater group of online volunteers than those who edit Wikipedia. You guys and gals rock!
You can look me up over at:
- the radio control Wikicities wiki as well. I'm a bureaucrat, so yell if you have a problem over there. Same user name.
- My user page at eflightwiki.com.] User name: PMDrive1061
- I'm a bureaucrat at a new Austin Powers wiki. I was honored by an invitation to join up and help fight vandalism! User name: MaxiMe
- I'm also an administrator on the Disney wiki. Disney fans of all kinds are invited! User name: DismayingObservation
- My user page at the Calvin and Hobbes wiki where I'm a bureaucrat as well. Transmogrify yourself over for a bit. User name: SpacemanSpiff
I'm proud to have contributed a number of new articles here and I'm especially proud of helping create six featured articles! They are:
The wigwag, Mercedes-Benz and Ridge Route articles started out as originals. Thanks to everyone who helped expand these! Special thanks to Avnative who traveled the Ridge Route during the creation of the article and contributed not only some fantastic text but some of the marvelous original photos as well.
"Wigwag" also made featured article status at Portal:Trains while the Mercedes-Benz article made it as a selected article at Portal:Cars.

Weirdest article I've ever worked on: Nuno. Rescued this from a non-native speaker since it really caught my fancy.
Oh, and thanks for stopping by! Feel free to leave a message on my talk page. As for the origin of my screen name, it came as a result of purchasing a rough but very straight and serviceable Mercedes-Benz 6.9 for a whopping US$99 shortly before discovering the joys of Wikipedia. I still have it. Read the article and you'll understand why. It's not quite a "Lucky Seven," but it'll do. Later!
