About Me

I am a college student in Butler, Pennsylvania, where I was born and raised. I have very eclectic intrests, so I tend to jump around a lot. I do not consider myself an expert on Wikipedia by any strech, however I am learning quickly and I only make edits of good quality. If I do anything that you see as unfair leave a message on my talk page, I'll get back to you as soon as I humanly can.

[edit] Projects

The following is a list of articles, to which I have contributed. Most article that I overhal are a list of random facts, which are oft un-sourced. After structuring and citing articles, I try to get a peer review before nominating it for Good Article status. After GA is achieved, I repeat. I have contributed to a wide range of articles, I have had gotten (or helped a good deal) a person, building, and an album up to GA status. I would like to get a movie, book, and sports season up to GA eventually, any suggestions in these (or another catagory I haven't done) are welcome.

I have become interested in writing a Featured Article caliber article, but don't really want to take it all on myself. If you want to help me write one, I'd love to do so.

[edit] WikiProjects

I am a strong supporter of WikiProjects, I feel that when WikiProjects are organized and goals are set within articles can be improved quicker and more accurately than without them. However, I try to limit the amount of projects that I join, so that I have a substantial amount of time to contribute to all of them.

[edit] My views

I think that Wikipedia is a great website; I use it for reference daily. The more I have used it, however, the more vandalism I have discovered. I think that is unfortunate and do not understand why people waste their time vandalizing, because it is always found and reverted.

I improve Wikipedia because I have learned many things here and I hope that I can help someone learn through my contributions.

[edit] Sandbox

  • My primary sandbox is usually filled with various unrelated items, and is quite a mess. I use it for my overhauls and other temporary stuff.
  • My long-term sandbox is used to store stuff that I need rarely, but are too much of a pain to re-make each time I need them.
  • This one is used for SteelersProject, we're currently working on the Pittsburgh Steelers article.

[edit] Created articles

These are the articles which I began. Most remain stubs, but hopefully they will improve someday. I have also uploaded two pictures on the Terrible Towel, both can be seen on its article.

[edit] Userboxes

I have amassed way too many userboxes to keep on this page, so they get their own. The list is continuously growing.

[edit] Music

I don't get caught up in genres, I listen to what I like. I like to buy most albums from my favorite bands, I would be happy to answer any questions that you have about them.
