Please feel free to contact me on my talk page, or by email. Note that I prefer to keep conversations public (i.e. on the talk page) when possible.

I live in the Dallas, Texas area. I'm a computer programmer, server technician and general internet junkie (been online since the early 1990s).

I've used Wikipedia extensively over the years, and now I'm trying to give back to the community and improve the resource I've enjoyed so much.

• PendingChanges Script - puts dynamically updating list of pending changes in the sidebar.

• Recent IP Edits
• Biographies that don't specify if the subject is living or not
• Oldest unpatrolled new pages
• Possibly mistagged unreferenced BLPs
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons
• Living persons marked as dead on other wikis
• Unreferenced BLP stubs
• /BLP/stubs

This is a quick copy/paste reference for the 4 citation templates I use most often.

For a quick guide to using inline citations see /citations and Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners.
