Background

What people have said about me

[edit]

Despite my best efforts, I have become rather divisive figure around here...People either love me or hate me.

Interests

Stuff I do on Wikipedia

[edit]
This editor is a Veteran Editor IV and is entitled to display this Gold Editor Star.





  • Creating articles, mostly on legal topics, but also on some other stuff. I think of myself more as a "gap-filler", trying to find missing topics and adding or expanding coverage of them where possible.
    • I've been focusing on legal topics mainly because when I first started here (in the spring of 2006), there was a real dearth of good legal articles on Wikipedia.
    • Additionally, I've been trying to expand Wikipedia's coverage of law firms and state governments (including state courts and secretaries of state/commonwealth).
    • I have also done some work on Heavy metal music.
  • Creating categories where needed and adding them to articles.
  • Creating redirects where necessary.
  • Some copy editing, spelling/grammar/punctuation corrections, and adding needed formatting when necessary.
  • The occasional new page patrol.
  • Blah blah blah, etc.
