[edit] Lurking aggressively since 2005

Hi, I'm Tony, a professional journalist and editor with about ten years of experience in various forms. I'm a Wikipedian because I find the format fascinating, and the concept of a community developing a resource like this is quite unique. Hopefully, I'll be able to provide a lot of good input through my various activities here.

[edit] Contributions and Contemplations

See what I've been working on.
Currently upwards of 3,500 edits.
My first Good Article contribution: an expansion and referencing of Battle of the Plains of Abraham, which I'm hoping to take to featured status.
Development of various articles in the WikiProject Vancouver space, mostly focused on neighbourhoods (No more redlinks - someone got to the last one while I was distracted. Whee!))
Performance of Recent Changes Patrol and New Page Patrol, tagging all sorts of questionable content for deletion or cleanup, as well as starting a few Articles for Deletion discussions where needed
Accidentally proposing deletion of someone's user page as non-notable while engaged in the above activity (and apologizing profusely)
Cleanup and wikification of several articles (like Stanley Coren, who was a great psychology prof well before he got all famous) to either save them from deletion or remove some concerns - this is an area I'm going to be doing more of as I go, and one that I hope to focus on in my spare time (there's quite the backup)
