[edit] Welcome
Hi Everyone and welcome to my user page. My name is Jim Byron, and I'm from Southern California. I'm not sure how I came up with my username, but it's there and I've kind of gained a reputation so I don't really want to change it.
I know quite a bit about Presidents of the United States, and their First Ladies, and I'm available to help out on articles whenever possible. My current edit count is over 10,000. I've been awarded a multitude of barnstars for my work with the different pages, including the Golden Wiki; due to my "facelift," huge expansion, continuous editing and clean up since February 2007, the Ronald Reagan article finally made it to featured article status on August 25, 2007 after a very contentious FAC. Nancy Reagan followed suit and became FA on November 25 of the year. I have contributed and largely written a lot of good articles as well: those include Pat Nixon, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Dick Cheney, George H. W. Bush, and Laura Bush. I'm very proud of all that.
You can post a message on my talk page if you need anything, or have any questions. Again, please tell me if I can be of assistance. Thanks. Happyme22 05:29, 5 March 2007 (UTC) - Revised Happyme22, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

From SandyGeorgia to Arcayne regarding the Ronald Reagan article: "Fine, accepted, but the same applies to the others making statements there questioning the motives of others and making outrageous statements about a "cadre" protecting the article. Happyme22 has pretty much developed that article on his own, and the POV pushing has come out of the woodwork only since he's gotten the article up to standard. Methinks if there had been a cadre of editors protecting the article, it wouldn't have taken him six FACs." —SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:11, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
Left on Talk:Nancy Reagan: "As for 74.73.106.239's charge that Happyme22 is showing "bias", that's unwise and foolish. Happyme22 brought this article to successful FA." —Wasted Time R (talk) 16:50, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
