Wikipedia This editor is a Yeoman Editor and is entitled to display this Service Badge. Major Edits The South Dakota article is my most-edited article. I have over 200 edits on it, and soon I'll be happy enough with it to nominate it for GA status. I also have quite a few edits (75+) on the article about my hometown of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. In the future, I'd like to get the articles on Massachusetts, New York, Wyoming, Horatio Nelson, James Cook, the British Empire, the Battle of Trafalgar, and the Lewis and Clark Expedition up to GA status. Most of these are going to take some work, though. Minor Edits Aside from the usual grammar edits (I have a thing for numbers lower than ten being spelled out as words), I have also been involved in patrolling recent changes for vandalism. Illustrations I am not a very skilled photographer, but I have taken several pictures for Wikipedian purposes. I have also uploaded several public domain maps and images. If you would like to take a look at them, they can be found at User:AlexiusHoratius/Illustrations.

I apparently had my name spelled incorrectly for about six months until a helpful German speaker came by and fixed it. However, I am reserving the right to revert anything not to my liking...revert any of my reverts, and I'll consider it vandalism. Don't think this act of trust on my part lets any of you petty vandals off the hook. Obvious vandalism to this page will still result in a warning and/or an AIV Report. Thanks- This page gets vandalized quite often, so thank you to all the editors who have undone, or will undo, the vandals' dirty deeds here.
