About me
I mostly fix typos, grammar problems, and technical errors in citations. If you're ever wondering whether I will feel bad that you're changing an edit of mine, don't worry. I don't take anything that happens on Wikipedia personally. I have much bigger fish to fry. Or, as Merlin Mann says: "Sorry. I don't argue on the internet." I am a member and Coordinator of the Guild of Copy Editors and participate in their monthly editing drives and blitzes. I can't believe that searching for Wookieelink in Wikipedia shows zero results. I eliminated most of the errors from the 8,000+ articles that made their way into Category:Pages with citations having wikilinks embedded in URL titles since it was created in April 2013. (Done in September 2013.) Useful links and tools that I always forget how to use. Articles I have createdThe first article I created was the List of mayors of Eugene, Oregon, because Bob Welch had remarked in a column that it didn't exist. I also created an article for the Indigo Girls' album called Rarities. I created Nike OTC Marathon, the predecessor to the current Eugene Marathon. Creation of Jeff Wells was driven by that article. I created {{GOCE award}} to save a few hours per month of work for coordinators at the Guild of Copy Editors. I created Natalie Fryde on my way to a complete copy-edit of Magna Carta in time for its 800th anniversary. I created The Orphans of Nkandla from a redlink in The Signpost. On my list to create: Dover Stone Church; Leaburg Hydroelectric Project Historic District; improve Sacrario militare di Pocol.
