[edit] Briefly, who I am

I'm a member of the Dartmouth College class of 2008, majoring in Mathematics and double-minoring in Mechanical Engineering and Classical Studies (i.e. history, mythology, and archaeology of the Greek and Roman empires).

[edit] My Wikipedia activities

In addition the below articles, I'm also watching and occasionally editing almost every Dartmouth College-related article. As I take more classes, I plan to contribute increasingly to those articles related to my academic areas of interest, especially in mathematics and Greco-Roman empires.

As a procrastination method, I am also an RC Patroller, dealing with vandalism, copyright violations, and other occasional corrections that I catch on the recent changes list.

[edit] Significant contributions

• Asa Dodge Smith - a family ancestor - most of my information is therefore from family records
• Dartmouth College - added Freshman Trips section - why was there no mention of this anywhere before?
• Dartmouth College Marching Band - well, didn't make it myself, but I majorly overhauled it, added all the extra sections, and made it its own article (upon suggestion from our conductor - was previously part of Dartmouth College student groups)
• Dartmouth Outing Club - rewrote the History section so that it was no longer a copyvio, and wikified the rest of the article
• Lake Memphremagog - created article
• Phi Tau - updated to actually modern times, including the main picture (see below) so that it's actually of the new house...

• Category:Dartmouth College - significant organization of category, am still in the process of going through the entire search results for Dartmouth College on Wikipedia and sorting them. 22/Feb/2006 - reached page 15 of results.
  • Category:Dartmouth College alumni - populated most of the category (originally only had 2 entries)
  • Category:Dartmouth College faculty - created and populated category

[edit] To-do

• Exercise Tiger - significant expansion based on Ken Small's The Forgotten Dead book.
• Category:Dartmouth College and sub-cats - sort all articles in Dartmouth College search on Wikipedia into appropriate categories. Completed initial sorting late-2006. Now occasionally going through the category and grabbing new articles that show up.
