I frequently use Wikipedia as a resource, but rarely edit. I wrote my profile below in 2003-04, when I was more involved as an editor.

My contributions.

I use Firefox with the [http://bugmenot.com/ BugMeNot], [http://optimoz.mozdev.org/gestures/ Mouse Gestures], [http://adblock.mozdev.org/ Adblock], [http://gorgias.de/mfe/#flst FLST], and [http://www.beggarchooser.com/firefox/ Linkification] extensions. See www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1299854/posts for a valuable way to improve Firefox's speed.

I was born on July 14, 1986. A native of Syracuse, New York, I now attend Stony Brook University on Long Island.

I am more of a cleanup-and-wikification sort than an author of original articles. At the moment, I do not participate to a large degree in community pages such as VfD or FAC. However, I do idle in the Wikipedia IRC channel.

My first substantive addition was made to Eugene McCarthy on October 2, 2004. So far I am most proud of the article on Douglas Wilder. I believe images greatly enhance the content of any article and encourage visitors to keep reading; as such, I try to legally add images to articles that I deem important.

Articles I have created from scratch:

• Armstrong High School (Richmond, Virginia)
• Base (politics)
• Elizabeth Holtzman
• Heifer International
• IronMind
• Party switching in the United States (originally Party switching)
• Ray Davis (U.S. Marine)
• Samuel C. Armstrong
• Steve Brodner
• Terry Richardson
• Underdog (competition)
• Upset
