What's up with these userboxes?
Read why I replaced my userboxes with these new, friendlier boxes, and how you can too, on my userbox subpage.

My name is Chris Dunstan, and I am a resident of Isla Vista, CA. I am a third year student at UC Santa Barbara, studying Political Science and Geography. My interests include cooking, listening to music, and working with computers. For more information about me, see my About Me subpage.

Projects

I have started Portal:Cooking, as requested on Wikipedia:Portal by Honeydew. I also want to get Category:Cooking in order. There is a lot of relevant content, and I am confident that I can get a number of people to help me out.

I am also working on adding my Chef Infobox to chef's pages. This subpage lists all known chef articles on Wikipedia, with categories indicating my progress.

Having recently returned from China, I want to upload some of my images to related articles.

I have also been wikifying requested articles, doing cleanup on random and requested articles, and occasionally patrolling recent changes.

As always, I keep an eye on my watchlist, performing random maitinance, cleanup, or participating in discussions.

Maps

As a student of geography, I intend to contribute maps, however I have not yet done so.

Yosemite

I am considering starting Portal:Yosemite. It would include the articles about Yosemite, upon which I plan to expand. Between myself and my dad, I have access to a lot of information, photos, and other resources, though I am still unsure if there will be enough content.
