Despite having been on this platform for a few years now, I am still figuring out how all of the processes and policies on Wikipedia work. I'm a big soccer/football fan (evident from my userboxes) so that's mostly what I'm editing. Most of my edits are organizational, whether that be adding categories, assessing articles and adding to task forces, or updating templates. I've spent a fair amount of time labeling relevant articles so that they will be included in the USA & Canada Task Force, primarily focusing on MLS and college soccer.

Currently working on

[edit]

Articles related to college soccer in the United States, tagging players and articles relevant to the USA Footy task force, reverting obvious vandalism, and trying to improve sourcing. Working through my to-do list (very slowly) while editing random pages related to Big Ten soccer. Improving references for players in MLS, focusing on Columbus before moving on to others, as well as others affiliated with American soccer in some way or another.

I'd also like to create some transfer articles for U.S. seasons as a whole. One of the concerns that I have for these articles as they are now is that American transfer articles tend to focus on MLS rather than the entire FPL league system itself. Why, for example, do we not include information about USL and NISA when German articles include information about their lower leagues? Something worth consideration.

If you need assistance in some way, especially if it involves translation from German to English, please let me know. It would be a good way to use some of the skills I have acquired and keep my language skills up to task.

Lots of referencing on Wikipedia is truly atrocious. If you want to help improve it, click the following (taken from Wikipedia:Citation needed):
