From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 

< User:BigrTex

I have known about Wikipedia for years. I've used it frequently over the past couple of years, especially when looking for information from my BlackBerry.

I first heard about the concept of a wiki about ten years ago, and wasn't impressed at the time. I went to work for a new company in September 2006 and they established an internal wiki soon after. That was my first exposure to editing a wiki.

I created an account here in order to post a comment on Xylitol without showing my work IP address on 2-Oct-6. I started making minor edits that afternoon.

I like to organize things, and quickly found myself Disambiguating pages. Within a week I had also worked on the Find-A-Grave (Project page) and Red Link Recovery projects.

I can see where I could become a Wikipedia:WikiGnome or even a Wikipedia:Wikipediholic (score is from 14-Oct-6, and doesn't count the 1000 points for realizing you were close to the end - I felt that quadrupaling my score was a little extreme).

Links I keep looking for:[edit]

Pages that I'm thinking about making stubs for[edit]

As I disambiguate, I find red links that I think are notable people whom I could find enough information to make a stub about, such as:

Project Statistics[edit]

Disambiguation[edit]

Red Link Recovery[edit]

Find A Grave[edit]

Photo Requests[edit]

NRHP[edit]
