About Me

I have not been on Wikipedia for a long while, but I believe I am making steady progress. I am surprised that my edit count is below 500, despite the fact that I do edit frequently. Don't let that fool you, however. I focus more on quality edits rather than simple edits here and there. I do make simple edits here and there when necessary, but I prefer spending my time on worthwhile edits such as adding content to an article. The state of some articles, before I begin to edit them, is quite poor, and I try to make sure they become quality articles. So far, I have not fathered any featured articles, but I believe I am close. Take, for example, Johnnie Cochran, Mark Geragos, and Neverland Ranch. I usually stop adding content to an article when there is really not much more to add.

If you need my help on an article, let me know, but whatever article it is, it should be something I am interested in. I generally focus on legal (contracts, U.S. Constitution, etc.), biographic (e.g. lawyers, criminals, etc.), and historical articles (presidents, major events, etc.).

Want to help out? Check out these articles.

If you find the time to work on a few articles here and there, please try to work on the following articles. At times, I've added remarks to the talk page (discussion page), and your help there would be appreciated.
