About me

I'm amazed at how much Wikipedia has evolved since I edited an article in 2007. I was proud of my early contributions although without references they have been replaced since. Now I'm excited to contribute again, this time with a lot more effort per sentence, basically making sure everything links to a source. It's nice to be in school again because the university library gives free access to academic journals with advanced searches.

No matter how big Wikipedia becomes there will be articles in need of help. I hope to fill what gaps I can, if there is a connection to my training or education. I am a self-described micro-philanthropist and peacemaker, politico, and friendship mediator. I help several disadvantaged people stay off the streets and provide food for feral cats in a one-square-mile area around my workshop. I am looking forward to collaborating with you. Thanks!

What I'm working on

I am looking at articles in need of cleanup as well as existing articles where the info has large gaps. The topics I generally gravitate to include:

  • Aviation, General Aviation
  • Geometry and Physics
  • Fabricating in wood, plastic, and epoxy
  • Marine topics, Marine architecture
  • History and historymakers

If you have a few minutes, please review my edits so that we can help improve Wikipedia together. You can see my contributions here or talk with me here.
