User:Slgrandson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello. My name is Dylan, also known as Slgrandson on select MediaWiki sites, and by my initials at IMDb and elsewhere. I am 21 years of age, and now live in Waterbury, Connecticut. I used to live near my home suburb of Stockfarm located in Roseau, the Commonwealth of Dominica, with my two sisters, a granny and a great-grandma, as well as my daddy, and edited for almost three months in the Bronx of New York City.

My main interests are Care Bears, ABBA and The Secret of NIMH.

I've also contributed to the article for the Bears' first movie and brought it up to GA status. As a fan, I have also begun those for numbers two, three, four, five and six, as well as their TV show.

Well, thank goodness the long-awaited 2008 is here! Now I can't wait to get some things started, finished, and improved on WP and what not. Still, I also have at least three books to do, so my editing and writing activities depend on how much I have time for both.

[edit] Origin of my user name

I am named after my family relation, a contraction of the phrase "Sylvie Lewis' grandson" (the first two letters are her initials).

[edit] Recognition

I am supposedly the only Wikipedia member to come out of Dominica, out of a few dozen more from the Caribbean region.

[edit] Expertise

More than ever, I have now devoted my time on Wikipedia towards articles relating to children's media, especially films and TV. Because of this, my patrolling efforts have significantly cooled down.

[edit] Today's snapshot

This true-color image, taken by the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity, shows the Victoria Crater from Cape Verde, Mars. Cape St. Vincent is the promontory visible on the left of the photo. On the right is Duck Bay, and beyond that, on the inner crater wall, is the north face of the 15 meter (50 foot)-tall stack of layered rocks called Cabo Frio.
