I just wiped out almost everything I put here in 2008-9, when I was last active on Wikipedia. It was all pretty pretentious. The Subpages section and the categories are still here, and there will be some changes there soon.
==What Kind of Fool Am I?==
*An [[United States Army |Army]] brat whose father served in the [[1st Infantry Division (United States) |1st]] and [[24th Infantry Division (United States) |24th Infantry Divisions]], and with the [[3rd Infantry Regiment (United States) |Third Herd]]
*A superannuated (1972) alum of [[George C. Marshall High School]]
*A geek with a [[mathematics]] degree from [[George Mason University]]
*A 20 year veteran of the [[United States Census Bureau |United States Bureau of the Census]]
*A former [[UNIVAC 1108]] and [[VAX/VMS]] programmer
*A one-year legislative assistant in the [[Virginia House of Delegates]]
*A delegate to the [[2008 Democratic National Convention]]
*A [[minor league baseball]] scoreboard operator
*A fan of [[Universum Film AG |UFA]] movies, [[Béla Bartók]], [[Django Reinhardt]] and [[Arthur Bryant's]]
*Someone who has passed three ''[[Jeopardy!]]'' auditions, but never gotten the call


I tend to wander around and touch up pages as I'm reading the good and not-so-good stuff in WP. The main categories I have focused on in the past are [[Virginia politics]]; Virginia history and biography; [[Military history]], especially that of the United States, and [[baseball]].

==Things I really need to get done==
*See if I can find enough reliable sources to write a [[Raising Kaine]] article that meets [[WP:N]]
*Finish building stub articles to complete the [[List of Speakers of the Virginia House of Delegates]]
*Finish [[34th Infantry Regiment (United States)]] &mdash; I stopped just before the invasion of Leyte and have never gotten back to it
*Review [[:Category:Regiments of the United States Army]] to see if each article includes a list of the regiment's [[Medal of Honor]] recipients; also, in particular, review the regular infantry regiments to ensure that the [[War of 1812]] lineages are correct
*Start adding content other than basic bio stuff to the [[Virginia General Assembly]] member articles. It being a House election year, though, I suspect I'll spend more time reverting unsourced POV than anything.

Latest revision as of 18:22, 28 February 2023

I just wiped out almost everything I put here in 2008-9, when I was last active on Wikipedia. It was all pretty pretentious. The Subpages section and the categories are still here, and there will be some changes there soon.

I tend to wander around and touch up pages as I'm reading the good and not-so-good stuff in WP. The main categories I have focused on in the past are Virginia politics; Virginia history and biography; Military history, especially that of the United States, and baseball.
