[edit] Wikipedia Contributions
This user is a member of Wikiproject Fisheries and Fishing. |
I live on Lake Jordan on the Coosa River near Wetumpka, Al as as such am making contributions to articles on and related to the Coosa River and Tallapoosa River. Additionally, my Fly Fishing passion compels me to contribute to Fly Fishing and related articles.
[edit] Personal Library
Since beginning to fly fish in the early 1960's in Southern California, I've accumulated over 400 titles of fly fishing literature. I am very proud of my collection and trust it will help me be a better wikipedian in regards to the fly fishing and related articles.
[edit] Personal Interests and Potential Conflicts of Interest
The following table displays my interests and the potential and real conflicts they convey. When contributing to any Wikipedia article I will keep these conflicts in mind and wish to be reminded when they get in the way of the NPOV of any contribution. Additionally, I vow to declare any potential or real COI for each article I contribute to.--Mike Cline 17:05, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
