COI declarations[edit]
IMPORTANT!!!! Due to me knowing these people outside of Wikipedia, I’m declaring the following COIs. Despite me editing these pages in the past, I will leave these pages alone, other than reverts for vandalism. My exact relationships with these people are listed in the Fun facts about me section of this page. Additionally, I know a current player for the Army Black Knights football team and will not make any edits directly related to him on Army's team page, or any seasons he plays for the team. If he makes the NFL, I will declare him here. These are the only COI’s I’m aware of, if I discover someone else I personally know outside of Wikipedia has a page, I will immediately declare them here.

A little about me[edit]
I was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas, but currently live in Tucson, Arizona. I have professional experience in multiple industries. I typically will edit after work or on my days off. I attended high school at Wichita South High School in Wichita, Kansas, where I played football, I wrestled, and threw discus on the track team. After high school I had a football scholarship to Hutchinson Community College were I played for one season. I also have briefly attended Cowley Community College and yes that means I'm a college drop out but that doesn't make any more or less intelligent. I briefly played semi-pro football for a small level team based in my hometown. I’m a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, Cincinnati Bengals, Kansas Jayhawks, and the Los Angeles Lakers. I also like watching the UFC, my favorite current fighter is Cain Velasquez, I’ve also recently gotten partial to Derrick Lewis and Francis Ngannou.

Wikipedia info[edit]
Obviously, by my username I'm a Kansas Jayhawks fan. That's an area of expertise of mine, along with the Chiefs and Bengals. I will occasionally update bio's of musicians and actors I'm a fan of (Eminem T-Pain Daughtry Tech N9ne). Sometimes when I'm mindlessly browsing Wikipedia with no intention to edit, I'll stumble across things that need fixed and I'll go ahead and edit them (primarily grammatical errors, WP:DATESNO violations, or fixing inconsistent dating style on an article). Additionally, I do most of my editing during the NFL offseason just because there’s more to edit during the offseason. I’ll also keep an eye on a player’s page that is involved in a trade, contract, or retirement rumor to ensure it’s not edited before an actual announcement. Blank tables and sections drive me nuts, especially when someone adds the “empty section” tag to it. When I’m involved in a discussion, sometimes I’ll continue to edit before responding to comments in the discussion. I also keep track of my High School's page, which I expanded under an IP address, but kept track of it and made edits under multiple IP addresses and this username. I support the WP essay WP:CITEKILL because I do not believe in needing more then 1 source for a statement unless its a statement like "considered by many to be.........". I also will, occasionally just to do something different, will participate in AFD debates. I despise the use of endashes (–) in place of commas. I have had pending changes reviewer permissions since April 14, 2017, which I rarely use. When I get free time I will check pending changes queue and clear it out. I have only ever been subject to disciplinary action once and that was a Zero revert rule for 72 hours for a 3 revert rule violation which I regret not fighting because I feel like I did nothing wrong I was I was battling the same person over two IP addresses so it seemed as a 3RR violation when in reality it wasn’t.
Regarding interest in being an admin, I’m unsure. I feel like I have the experience, but I’m not knowledgeable enough in policies to become one. I also need to get better at not taking edit disputes so personally. I'm working on this and have gotten better, but there is still a lot of work to do on this before I can even consider adminship.
I have made edits under multiple IPs prior to creating this account. I also previously used the account Titanfbplayer71 which I haven’t used since 2011 and don’t plan to use to avoid being accused of being sock puppet.

The drawback to editing NFL related pages, is when your team releases one of your favorite players and you have to make the edit to make them a free agent, as I did in these edits:
Jamaal Charles Derrick Johnson
Dustin Colquitt
Articles Created[edit]
To date I have created 33 articles, 8 templates, and 2 lists. They are listed in order of creation. To date I’ve only ever had one article deleted, and that was under my original account and it was for a local rapper from my hometown which was deleted under WP:A7 and that was all the way back in 2008 when it was deleted, though I think I created it in like 2006/2007.
Articles[edit]
Templates[edit]
Most proud of[edit]
The article I’m the most proud of is Pooka Williams Jr., a former running back for my favorite college team, the Kansas Jayhawks. I’m responsible for the overwhelming majority of this article (I’m in no way indicating ownership of the article). I am most proud of this because of the way it’s written and how well it is cited. Every major piece of information in the article is cited and it is well put together layout wise. With this being said, I am open to improvements. I hope this article can turn into one seen by a substantial amount of people if and when he makes it to the NFL. I’m considering putting more work into the article and work on promoted it good article status because of how much work I’ve put into it. Though I’ll probably wait until he plays at least a season so I can expand the article a little more.
Time Zone[edit]
I live in Arizona which is officially in the American Mountain Time Zone, however Arizona does not observe daylight savings time. So from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, I am UTC-7 (22:00 UTC = 3 pm, pacific time basically), but the rest of the year I am UTC-6 (22:00 UTC = 4 PM, actual mountain time)
