I live in central Illinois, USA. I've been a Wikipedia editor since September 2005.
Shortcuts
- templates for user warnings: Template:Tl
- WP:RSPS - reliable & perennial sources
- WP:REFILL - tool for expanding citations
- check for generic or incorrectly author names
- check for deprecated "deadurl=y" parameter; change to "url-status=dead" or delete, since this is the default
- if it adds default reference definition names (like "auto"), follow up edit with RefNamer to avoid duplicate reference errors for transcluded sections
- Help:Cite errors - categories showing articles that need attention
- advice regarding a "controversial" comment and the resulting media frenzy
Wiki projects
- Current
- various pages related to tropical cyclones and potentially hazardous asteroids (mainly due to my obsession with spreadsheets)
- presidential election info (e.g., polling and results) in 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024
- sports-related articles for my favorite teams, which has expanded to college basketball tournaments, NFL standings templates, and MLB rivalries.
- Past
- environmental articles related to my former employment
- adding sort keys to category labels (Wikipedia:Categorization#Category_sorting) - mostly for "List of" categories, so the 'L' section isn't crammed (now made easier by Template:DEFAULTSORT)
- "wikifying" deadend pages (Special:Deadendpages) - remember the guidelines on linking!
- General clean-up
- Category:Articles requiring unit attention
- fixing brackets and quotes (Wiki Syntax)
- fixing double redirects (Special:DoubleRedirects) - apparently, there's a bot for this, so anything I do is a shameless way to pad my edit stats
- County and Township articles for Illinois
Articles that make me chuckle
- Recursive acronym and Backronym
- Strategery and Truthiness
- More cow bell and The Ministry of Silly Walks
- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo
- WP:HOLICTEST - WP:LAST - WP:SPIDER - WP:STUPID
