I'm '''Bunchofgrapes'''. If you like ] then you might know where I took the name from. For the most part, it's meaningless. You may call me '''Grapes''' if "Bunchofgrapes" is too much typing.<ref>Or "Bunch", "BoG", etc. Or try an ]: "No spa grub, chef!"</ref> |

I'm interested in a lot of things, but my main contributions are to ] articles, where I'm especially drawn to the history and science behind everyday edibles. I also try to contribute to ] discussions. |

*I'm now working on ]. Which was what I was starting to work on before I got distracted by ]. Now then... how do you write a biography? |
|
|
*Ridecruft! The Coney Island ''']'''. I can't believe it didn't have an article already. |
|
|
*''']''' (no, you can't eat it) is now a ]... all ''too'' easy. (Looks around suspiciously.) |
|
|
*I'm responsible for most of the cheesecruft in ]. |
|
|
*''']''' is a Featured article. ''Today's Featured Article'' on Jan 17, 2006. About 360 edits during the day; butter is a lot funnier than black pepper but not quite as funny as cheese. 's the diffs for the day; for some reason, they are a bit of a mess. |
|
|
*''']'''. Now a Featured Article. It was ''Today's Featured Article'' on December 3, 2005. It had 96 edits that day (see, black pepper isn't as ''funny'' as cheese). Here's the ; I have to admit a few factual errors were fixed, the worst of which was featuring a picture of a plant that wasn't actually black pepper. I created ] while working on black pepper, as well. |
|
|
*''']'''. My first love, my first Featured Article. It was ''Today's Featured Article'' on November 4, 2005. It got nearly 500 edits during that day; here's the . I've also put some work in on ] and its good friend the ], articles which you should '''not''' read, under any circumstances. |

==The curmudgeonly Wikipedian asks== |
|
|
] |
|
|
*Why do people get so excited about starting new pages? Fixing existing, awful pages seems far more important to Misplaced Pages's quality. Yet every user page has their proud list of "Pages I Created." Stop it! (Maybe I'll give ] a pass on this one, though.) |
|
|
|
|
|
*What can we do to get more people to really "get" ]? Our open "hey everyone, edit the page now!" needs a little more browbeating about that, somehow. I imagine there's no way to really fix it, but I can dream. |
