Hello there! My name is Elliot F (SavagePanda845), and I’m a lifelong resident of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am currently a college student at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, studying statistical practice. Outside of editing Wikipedia and other wikis, I enjoy reading and playing videogames - my all-time favorites of the latter being Minecraft, Grand Theft Auto V, and Cities: Skylines. I have also been thoroughly enjoying the Fallout series, as of recently.
I am a strong believer in preserving data and history, which is probably why I enjoy editing Wikis so much. I often will just edit whatever I see that needs adjustment, and am not directly focused on one specific subject in particular. I see myself as a bit of a jack of all trades, both here and outside of Wikipedia.
I enjoy Brutalist architecture and for whatever reason, have a thing for mid-late 20th century office buildings.
My family has ties to the Great Chicago Fire, having at the time owned the bar behind where it is believed to have started.
A little known fact is that it was most likely started by Czech boys who were out back, smoking. The blame fell on Mrs. O’Leary and her cow due to the stigma against Irish people at the time.
I have traveled all over the United States and even went to Canada once, just to see Giant Pandas.
I am possibly a distant relative of Eugene Cernan, the last man to walk on the moon.
My grandfather actually grew up with him and they used to play ball together; Cernan even attended his wedding. I was always told that they were “cousins of cousins”, hence why I say distant relative.
