Misplaced Pages has been my online world for nine years out of its present 16 years of existence. When I first came to edit here in 2007, I possessed an eager desire to contribute to this global resource, but being a part of this ongoing project has increased in its importance to me since then; far more than I could ever have anticipated. Every time I do even the smallest thing to make it a better encyclopedia than it already was, I feel like I've just won a globally-regarded prize! |

}}I began editing Misplaced Pages as an anonymous user in January 2007, and became a registered editor on June 16th that same year.

In the modern era, I usually can only make time to contribute to the ] backlog elimination drives and blitzes, and have previously worked extensively on other community drives, such as the ] and ]s.

These days especially, I am prone to taking long wikibreaks without warning or notice,<ref>Bear in mind, "long" for me can refer to a day or more; courtesy of my most virtuous impatience-to-spare.</ref> due to outside commitments. Even when I am on Misplaced Pages, I am very engrossed in whatever I'm doing, so it may take a while before I reply to messages; some might even go unnoticed for months, it's happened once... Or twice... Actually, quite a few times. :} My apologies in advance for such occurrences. |

Welcome to my userpage! Feel free to look around, on this page and the subpages linked below. When you're done, you can leave your signature in my guestbook. Thanks!
Misplaced Pages has been a center-point of my online world for fourteen years out of its present 20 years of existence. When I first came to edit here in 2007, I possessed an eager desire to contribute to this global resource, but being a part of this ongoing project has increased in its importance to me since then; far more than I could ever have anticipated. Every time I do even the smallest thing to make it a better encyclopedia than it already was, I feel like I've just won a globally-regarded prize!
I began editing Misplaced Pages as an anonymous user in January 2007, and became a registered editor on June 16th that same year. My typical contributions have changed over the years since then; I have covered a wide variety of fields with varying degrees of investment of my time, and have generally been a somewhat hyphenate editor. In the modern era, I usually can only make time to contribute to the Guild of Copyeditors' backlog elimination drives and blitzes, and have previously worked extensively on other community drives, such as the Wikification and Great Misplaced Pages Backlog drives. For many years my main focus was on article creation, and frequently the development of articles, predominantly the ones I myself had started up. I have also periodically reviewed good article and Did you know nominees, the former especially during their backlog drives (surprise-surprise!) or during the WikiCup games. I am also a qualified online ambassador, though I've been out of practice for a while. If you're new and interested, however, you know where to go!
These days especially, I am prone to taking long wikibreaks without warning or notice, due to outside commitments. Even when I am on Misplaced Pages, I am very engrossed in whatever I'm doing, so it may take a while before I reply to messages; some might even go unnoticed for months, it's happened once... Or twice... Actually, quite a few times. :} My apologies in advance for such occurrences.
These include what pages I've created, what images or articles I've saved from deletion, etc.
Prior to the creation of the first of these sandboxes, I had to use the official Misplaced Pages:Sandbox if I wanted to work on potential articles, or if I wanted to experiment with some editing technique. It could grow pretty tiresome at times, since that sandbox receives so much traffic; you never knew when an edit conflict could destroy all your efforts. So when I observed that a lot of other users make their own, personal sandboxes out of user subpages, I got the great idea to do the same for myself! After I had used the first of my sandboxes for everything a sandbox can do, for some time, I began to realize it would be much more convenient to have multiple sandboxes, because then if a project I was working on came to some form of lull, I could move on to the next without waiting for the "lull" to conclude. So I decided to devote the first sandbox exclusively to writing out drafts for future articles on award-winning members of the film and television industry listed at the Internet Movie Database, and "invest" in another one. This second sandbox soon became the one I used for working on extinct animal/plant articles. Time went on, and I decided, since I was then actively reviewing AFC submissions (in the old-fashioned way, when all submissions for a particular day were listed on one page, and the reviewers created the accepted submissions for the writers), that I should have one in which to list AFC suggestions I was not sure about, before asking more experienced users for their opinions.
As these three projects have long since fallen out of my editing habits, these "assignments" no longer apply to the sandboxes. Mostly I just use them for whatever form of editing I want to practice, or for holding links, lists, formulas, and things I want to remember. The closest to the original applications that any of these get is the fourth sandbox, which I created some time ago when the user profile links in the top right corner of the screen began including a default sandbox, so it wouldn't be redlinked.

A picture of rocks in the ocean.
A picture I did of a friend of mine, who is homeschooled.
This was one of my attempts at abstract art...
I just think this one is so... angelic!!!
A picture of a colonial young lady running away from home, for reasons I did not put thought into. Done in pointalism, among a few other artistic tricks.
I always feel warm when I view this tribute to the veterans, and it works very well for Remembrance Day.
This Valentine's image is one of my first images released to Wikimedia Commons. I remember giving a lot of my acquaintances on Misplaced Pages copies of this as a "Wiki-Valentine" on Valentine's Day in 2008.
An interesting pic of mine, I thought. I took a public domain image of a valley, and I reversed the colours and shading so that it was photo-negative, and then I also used... some technique I don't remember the name of to give it a glowing effect - like they have on Predator.

KiMo Theater is a theater and historic landmark located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on the northeast corner of Central Avenue and Fifth Street. It was built in 1927 in the extravagant Pueblo Deco architecture, which is a blend of adobe-style Pueblo Revival building styles (rounded corners and edges), decorative motifs from indigenous cultures, and the soaring lines and linear repetition found in American Art Deco architecture. The name Kimo, meaning 'mountain lion', was suggested by Pablo Abeita in a competition sponsored by the Albuquerque Journal. The theater opened on September 19, 1927, with a program including Native American dancers and singers, a performance on the newly installed $18,000 Wurlitzer theater organ, and the comedy film Painting the Town. According to local legend, the KiMo Theatre is haunted by the ghost of Bobby Darnall, a six-year-old boy killed in 1951 when a water heater in the theater's lobby exploded. The tale alleges that a theatrical performance of A Christmas Carol in 1974 was disrupted by the ghost, who was supposedly angry that the staff was ordered to remove donuts they had hung on backstage pipes to appease him. This photograph shows the facade of the KiMo Theater, seen from across Central Avenue.Photograph credit: Daniel Schwen
