From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pronouns: he/him. I've added my pronouns after unfortunately offending some fellow wikipeidans that I've identified by the wrong pronouns. Please understand that this is a new thing to me, to identify one's pronouns. I'm sorry if I've hurt anyone; that was not my intention, rather it's due to my lack of understanding.

Will update articles as I see fit, usually if I find an interesting tidbit to add. I don't take myself too seriously, neither should you. We're here to advance the sum of human knowledge (which sounds important, 'cause it is). Please don't argue with me, I have no desire to do so.

I live just north of Toronto, Canada. Very interested in keeping knowledge free and flowing, for the good of all. As with the Larousse dictionary icon, I spread the seeds of knowledge and see what grows out of them, meaning I add my piddly little piece of trivia, but helps build up the article as a whole. It's the journey I enjoy, more than the destination, which is also usually pretty great. I'm most proud of being granted "Autopatrolled rights" here as it shows the community trusts my input and my contributions.

Most active in AfD recently (Articles for Deletion), as articles I want to create have already been done. I still enjoy creating articles, but I'm perhaps not as excited by it as I once was. Please note, I only contribute in AfD and can't close or change any decisions for you. It's a discussion there and I'm offering my view as an experienced editor on wiki.

I enjoy history, trains/railroading, baseball and how things relate to these subjects.
