Bio

[edit]

I'm just one of the thousands of geeks who are hooked on the joys of editing on Wikipedia. Somebody save me please! Although, it's cheaper than having a girlfriend...

This describes me:

Why I edit

[edit]

I have been editing on Wikipedia for over ten years and have made my share of mistakes and continue to do so. There is layer upon layer of policy nowadays; I can't track it all. I write articles because I am sincerely interested in the topics. If I stand up for the ones I work on, it is in the spirit of being a contributor to Wikipedia. If you disagree with me, let's not make it personal or a question of guilt or innocence. If I disagree with you, I sincerely disagree, but I hope to always be open to good advice.

Articles I've created or contributed to:

[edit]

I live in Toronto, so I edit about Toronto mostly. Since I'm Canadian, my first interest was ice hockey. While not a member of the hockey project, I contribute to ice hockey articles. I am also interested in Canadian history, especially Indigenous issues, and film, especially kaiju, Canadian and action films.

Articles
On the back burner
Minutia
  • improving citations, names of newspapers, quote characters
  • organizing and improving the articles on the various laws of Canada (see Canadian federal legislation category)
  • correcting publisher= usage in Template:citation inclusions - often should be work= or website=
  • correcting links to Toronto, that might be to York, or not include Canada
  • reducing duplicate wikilinks
  • fixing external links to refs
Was working on, but I think these are covered
