[edit] Who is Dave Carlson?

I am a real estate investor, software developer, editor, grassroots political campaign organizer for Barack Obama, and student, currently in San Diego, California.

[edit] Members I've awarded Barnstars

A Barnstar is an item distributed throughout the wiki community to particularly fine contributions to Wikipedia. Below is a list of people to whom I've given a barnstar, and the reasoning for this:

Sommers - for his excellent, calm, and thoughtful discussion within a heated battle regarding the DSM-IV page
Downwards - for making decisive choices even when they're unpopular, and his tireless work on thousands of sports articles on WP
Nlu - for his tireless contributions to a yet-unexplored area of Wikipedia
Janke - for his excellent photographic submissions, his contributions to WP policy, and for embodying a pleasant, respectful, accepting attitude that is in the best interests of the Wikipedia community as a whole.
JimIrwin - for his tremendous contributions to the population density maps used throughout Wikipedia, and for his geographical contributions that enable us to see the world in which we live.
Neutrality - for his commitment to Wikipedia, particularly articles on liberty, and his Thomas Jefferson-inspired user page.

This editor is a Yeoman Editor, and is entitled to display this Service Badge.

Pages I've created or reinstated (incomplete list)

These pages are less indicative of my interests than are the pages to which I've made major contributions. I generally create new pages for trivia or unusual/unique people that I become aware of and whom I cannot find on WP, whereas I tend to make major edits to the pages that I read (or know) the most about. I tend to know less about pages I create than about pages I simply edit, and therefore do a fair bit of research before creating a new page. Of over 50 new articles I've created, only 3 have been removed, so I aim for high notability and informative articles, although sometimes there just isn't enough information available and I create stubs for other users to expand upon.
