Hi! Not so new here anymore. ;) I think I'm figuring this stuff out; the Be bold directive is most useful. Anyway, my name is Andrew, and thus far, I've made entries relevant to the two places I've spent most of my life in - Washington, DC, and the Charlotte area of North Carolina. Specifically, I've done 95% of the work on the Washington Metro and its stations.
I'm also heavily involved in United States Congressional delegations, because ... I dunno. Tables are pretty. (See US Congressional Delegations from California for my best example). I also love assisting in horizontal research; that is, the footer tables that say "President" and preceded and succeeded by. Very easy navigation with those.
At present, since I live in North Carolina, I'm also very involved in the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season and its updates.
Project: Wikipedia:WikiProject Stations, because I'm a subway nut, and this was barely started then seemingly abandoned months ago. However, I don't know how useful this is... mental note: Ask.
I attended Emerson Preparatory School (started) and the George Washington University (destubbed); The major pages I've created are First Union and Barber-Scotia College; and I have, at present, 800 pages on my watch list.
To Do
- Add MARC information, link Metro and MARC together
- Add more to First Union, add more on the skyscrapers in Charlotte
Fix up George Washington UniversityMajor improvement, now just need to fix up the sports.Wikipedia:Disambiguation_pages_with_links -- the obsessive-compulsive in me demands it!eh screw it, it got boring, I have delegations to do. :D- More racing stuff.
Personal To Dos
- Check www.wmata.com for updates. (Last done: 9/13)
- Move all metro pages to [Station (Washington Metro)].
- Do all heads of state footer tables.
Notable Achievements
- Added Ongoing Trials to Current Events. Who knows if it will stay.
TIP: If you find your wikistress is reaching high levels, or if you're hitting your watchlist every 20 seconds, here's a tip: Hit alt-x instead. I've found that browsing random pages and making edits on them is not only a great way to gain knowledge, but it's a nice way to contribute to Wikipedia and not be too emotionally involved at the moment.
Thanks for visiting!
