About me

Demountable copy on K-68
Demountable copy on K-68

Scott Nazelrod is a high school senior living in Goldsby, Oklahoma. Yes, a high school student that doesn't have the urge to insert nonsensical garbage into Wikipedia.

I've been a roadgeek since at least 1994, and I don't have any real reason for stopping (well, I do, but none that I'd be willing to get into explaining here).

Other than that I play the trombone and also do some web design, and I don't rest until my pages are XHTML 1.1 valid. Sometimes I do 3-D modeling, using Anim8or. (My first Wikipedia article was about Anim8or, and it got VFD'd as advertising.)

I am an advanced (X)HTML coder. My computer runs Ubuntu 6.10 (Linux), KDE 3.5, and Firefox 2.0.


As a Wikipedian

Image:Barnstar.png Image:WMBarnstar.png
Awarded to me by Encyclopedist for State Highway 120 (Oklahoma). I hereby award Scott5114 the Working Man's Barnstar for his tagging of numerous speedy delete articles. Thank you! --Fang Aili talk 20:56, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

I occasionally do RC Patrol, but more often NP Patrol. (I don't do either nearly as much as I should though.) And I'm consciously trying to use more edit summaries.[1]

I don't believe in non-Babel userboxes.

As I am a roadgeek, I've been working on adding articles on Oklahoma state highways (I wrote the majority of the articles in Category:Oklahoma state highways, and have been working on the U.S. Roads WikiProject and its descendants. Also, I did a lot of work on the Kansas Turnpike article.

Other than road stuff I have worked on articles for well-known figures in the Oklahoma City area, including meterologist Gary England and the mayor of OKC, Mick Cornett.

My 500th edit was a minor edit to Oklahoma State Highway 120. My 1000th edit was to Hersheypark Arena (Stub flag, some wikification), strangely enough on my 16th birthday (February 2, 2006).

Utility Templates

In my userspace I've created a few user subpages so that I don't have to remember/copy-paste swatches of code over and over again. You can use them too. Because they're in userspace, you should always subst: them. I've given them short, cryptic names to make them quicker to type.

[edit] User:Scott5114/R

Creates a reference block, surrounded by a <div> tag that makes the text 90% size, to make it less intrusive. As seen on U.S. Route 77, originally seen by me on the W. Mark Felt article. For non-CSS browsers the references appear in normal-sized text.

  • {{subst:User:Scott5114/R}} produces this code:
<div class="references-small">
<references/>
</div>
  • which appears as:

Now a "real" template - {{scaps}}.
