Well, here we go:
*My name's ScouterSig, and I'm working on Wikipedia from the sunny [[Inland_Empire_%28California%29|Inland Empire]]. (I live to the right of the number 4.)
{{Motd}}


== Interests: ==
*I am a [[Sigma Chi]] and a [[Boy_Scouts_of_America|Scout]], as well as a [[toastmasters|Toastmaster]]. I'm don't ever edit during the summer because I work at [[summer camp]]s.
* At "Cal State" I am majoring in [[geography]], and getting certificates in [[GIS]] and [[urban planning]]; I am getting a minor in [[English_language|English]]; I am attending [[California_State_University%2C_San_Bernardino|CSUSB]]
* I think I will use my degree to become a [[land_surveying|land surveyor]], though I may also teach [[junior high]].
*I don't really care how many edits I have; but the fact that something out there is keeping my statistics for me is too awesome to not keep around <small>(see userbox)</small>!
*I also edit [http://www.meritbadge.org meritbadge.org]'s wiki; [http://meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php?title=User:Scoutersig this] is my profile there.

== Contributions: ==
*<big>'''[[User:Scoutersig/Awards|Awards I have received]]'''</big>

===Main projects===
* I have tagged hundreds of articles for the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Fraternities and Sororities|Fraternity and Sorority WikiProject]]. I am also doing a lot ( a whole lot) of work in their categories, as it is a big [[clusterfuck|clusterf*&k]] right now.
* I have tagged hundreds of articles for the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Southern California|Southern California WikiProject]]. This ended fairly abruptly after issues with the differences between the "California WikiProject" and the "''Southern'' California WikiProject" boiled up.
*I am trying to get more involved in [[WP:AFD|AFD]]s, [[WP:CFD|CFD]]s, and especially [[WP:UCFD|UCFD]]s, because they have a big impact on how Wikipedia runs, presents itself to the world, and concieves of itself internally.

Revision as of 05:04, 8 May 2008

Retired
This user is no longer active on Wikipedia as of May 2008.


I have decided that I need to focus heavily on my scholastics until graduation in June; I will be absent for that time period.

I will then be absent for about three months as I work in the mountains with no/limited internet access or time.

I will return, hopefully, to Wikipedia when I return to civilization. However, it will be under a username that I do not use elsewhere due to privacy and secrecy concerns.

I will of course edit some of the same articles and discourse with some of the same users, but, alas, hopefully no one will ever know.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.
