About me

• I have contributed an extensive gallery of photos for use in Wikipedia. I have had a request to post a link to them on this page. Here it is: JGKlein's Wikimedia Photo Gallery

• This user thinks that Wikipedia is one of the most outstanding things on the internet.

• This user is an advocate of animals who has rescued homeless cats and taken them to a county animal shelter.

• This user has enormous respect for veterans, especially those who have given their lives in service to our country.

• This user is a male WASP who champions equal rights for women, minorities, and all others, regardless of religion, physical or emotional handicap or ethnic group.

• This user has loved movies since first seeing The Wizard of Oz on TV at age 5.

• This user has collected so many books on film history, he may soon have to rent a storage unit!

• I truly ♥ Wikipedia. When I was a kid, I would sit for hours and read the World Book Encyclopedia. Now I read Wikipedia for hours on end.

• I am of one-half Dutch descent; the other half is a mixture of English, Scottish and German. Family genealogists have traced our roots back to Switzerland in the 1500s.

• I am absolutely fascinated with films, TV, theater, and the performing arts. I love writing about them to provide accurate information for future historians. I live near Hollywood and I know a lot of people on the fringes of the film and TV business. I love to go to thrift stores and collect used books about the entertainment field. I have gained an enormous library of reference books by doing this. Some of the celebrity biographies even have the author's autograph in them.

• I speak some Spanish (Español), but I am not fluent. I can get by with a dictionary.

• I enjoy vandalism on Wikipedia. I believe by handling vandalism with the proper approach, in the future it may become a source of valuable contributions to Wikipedia.

• I believe in teaching our young people to become good citizens of the future. That is why I love contributing to Wikipedia to help them along. I believe we should write down everything of importance that we have in our heads so that it can be passed on to young people and future generations.

• I have tremendous respect for anyone who is a good parent. Properly raising children is essential to our future, and we should all thank our mothers and fathers for everything they have done for us, especially if we didn't appreciate them for years and even if they were less than perfect. After reading biographies of famous people about whom I previously had mixed feelings, I have gained enormous admiration for them after learning that they are (or were) good parents. Recently, I walked up to a complete stranger in a fast food restaurant who was utterly exasperated because he was dealing with a very unruly child. I said "You are a good father". He looked up at me as though I were an angel, and it was quite obvious that I had made his day, as he really needed that motivational boost at that moment. I encourage everyone to tell parents when you see that they are doing a good job, as it can be an extremely frustrating, thankless job. Parents need encouragement to do their important work.

• I am not an alcoholic, but because I am affected by several loved ones who are (or were, as they are now dead) alcoholics. I contribute substantially to the following list of truly remarkable people with this disease, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:People_self-identifying_as_alcoholics, to show that there is no shame in admitting that one has it, and to encourage substance abusers to seek treatment. If you or someone you care about has this disease, please seek help. You can get well again, become a positive contributor to society, and help others recover from chemical dependency.
