==About me==
My user name is a combination of my initials ('''ACN''') and my home state of [[Texas]] ('''TX'''). 

I live in [[Lancaster, Texas|Lancaster]], a [[Dallas, Texas|Dallas]] suburb located in the southern portion of [[Dallas County, Texas|Dallas County]]. Lancaster is part of the "[[Best Southwest, Dallas County, Texas|Best Southwest]]" region, which also includes the neighboring cities of [[Cedar Hill, Texas|Cedar Hill]], [[DeSoto, Texas|DeSoto]], and [[Duncanville, Texas|Duncanville]]. 

==My Wiki History==
On September 3, 2004, I made my first contribution to Wikipedia as an anonymous user. I officially became a Wikipedian on September 14, 2004 and began regularly contributing in January 2005. At first, my focus was primarily African election-related. I then expanded to writing biographies of African politicians, creating location/administrative division maps for African countries, and making national leader chronology tables. On occasion, I did similar work for areas outside of Africa. While remaining an African article editor, I branched out even more in mid-2006 by creating base articles for most of the school districts in Texas. 

In January 2007, I began categorizing U.S. county seats and completing incomplete articles containing U.S. demographic data. I returned to creating school district articles soon after, this time for Mississippi. I focused on a wide range of Mississippi-related topics during mid-2007. Towards the end of that year, my focus shifted to U.S. Metropolitan and Micropolitan areas, which continued throughout 2008. 

A majority of my contributions made during the past year have either dealt with maintaining my earlier-created articles or organizing and properly categorizing U.S. city pages, especially those communities that are part of a Metropolitan or Micropolitan area. I have also enjoyed creating articles on newly incorporated places as well as unincorporated places with interesting histories.

==My Works==
The following two sections contain articles that I have either created or significantly contributed to that are, in my personal opinion, some of my best works on Wikipedia.
