| My home page is at . I haven't been very good about updating it. | |||
| I encountered Misplaced Pages one evening while ] for mentions of ]. I had a look around, and decided that I could help out here. | |||
| I am a native Portlander; one of my ancestors on my mother's side was in one of the last ]s to ]. I am old enough to remember the promise of ]'s governorship, which now appears endangered by the efforts of bottomfish like ] and ]. | |||
| True nerd confession: when I was a kid, I used to enjoy reading the encyclopedia. (It was a ''Funk and Wagnells'', for those of you old enough to remember the joke from ].) I would spend hours going from one cross reference to another. Hmm: is there an experiment, akin to the ], to see if one can get from a given article in Misplaced Pages to any other article in 6 clicks or less? | |||
| :'''Update''': Since writing the above, I've learned of , part of Kate's Tools. Belated thanks to ], who told me about this almost one year ago! | |||
| :'''Another update''': I started a blog little more than a month ago, http://original-research.blogspot.com. Comments welcome. | |||

| I've also written the following two entries connected with Oregon history, but I consider them more of ] entries than complete ones: | |||

| I spent a while adding content to Oregon's 36 existing (& one deceased) ], only to discover that they need more work to conform to the proposed ]. :-( | |||

| == Things I learned at the 2006 Wikimania == | |||
| # My user name is very memorable. | |||
| # No one (including me) knows how to pronounce it correctly. | |||
| # One way to meet attractive women in Cambridge, MA is to lose your cellphone on the T. (Do not try this at home.) | |||
| # A ] will meet a striking blonde woman in a short skirt in a bar, buy her a drink -- & then proceed to tell her all about Misplaced Pages. (Okay, I'm married, she's married -- & yet ...) | |||
| # ] believes the ] has acquired too many questions & needs to be refactored. (The first time he took the test, he scored only 95 -- out of a maximum possible 130 points.) | |||

| I thought that given your excellent work on in particular Ethiopia-related articles, you should have one of these. Best, ] '']'' 10:47, 15 December 2005 (UTC) | |||
| Being the designer of Gibe I+II+III plants ( and a newbie of the Italian wikipedia ) I was surprised to see your good article on the subject. If you ever come to Ethiopia it would be nice to have you seeing the construction going on !! Antonio Pietrangeli | |||
