[edit] About Me
I've been a member of the English Wikipedia since March 2008. I am an active member of WikiProject NRHP, WikiProject Historic Sites, and WikiProject Mississippi, and Wikiproject Infoboxes.
My main work consists of researching the history and progression of the Meridian and Lauderdale County area in Mississippi, and I have contributed a lot to the city's article and articles related to it – the most prevalent of which are listed below. I also do a lot of work with heritage registers, having been a key contributor to the List of Mississippi Landmarks, List of Michigan State Historic Sites, List of City of Pittsburgh historic designations, and List of National Monuments of Ireland. I helped create and help to maintain {{Infobox NRHP}} and {{Infobox Historic Site}} as well as an alternative to the Main Page, which can be found at User:Dudemanfellabra/Sandbox2.
Another big accomplishment is that of the {{ConvertAbbrev}} family. This template family, though still in its infancy, is meant to make backdoor operations of Wikipedia easier by allowing abbreviations and long names to be used interchangeably (i.e. if a template needs ISO abbreviations for something, the template can use ConvertAbbrev to allow a user to simply type what comes naturally instead of having to remember those cryptic identifiers.) The template family consists of databases of abbreviations that I (and some others) have entered in by hand through many hours of work.

To see a detailed monthly breakdown of what I've been doing on here, look here. As you can see, most of my edits are during the summer when I don't have school to worry about.
A full list of articles I've created can be found here. The ones I'm most proud of (as well as as few that I didn't create but contributed a lot to) are listed below. Blue question marks (
