I created this account to help with the Tennis articles; which relate to the Tennis Portal. I am eclectic in my interests, with a few strong points here and there. (Ibid. Avicennasis) I am appalled at general vandalism as much as overzealous editors. I promote The 10 Simple Rules. I have been known to make updates in any of the categories listed on the right.

Wikipedian Status: Member since January, 2006 (18 years, 328 days).

Who am I?

I am a geek of the first water, but prefer to be an IT Renaissance man.
I am currently doing contract IT work in Boise, Idaho. Since, I generally work within IT/Web Departments; I am usually promoting the editing of Wikipedia on behalf of my employers. Although some of my edits may concern my previous employers, I am not in Public Relations and my contributions do not represent the views or opinions of my employers or any of their subsidiaries.

Vandalism

Revert first, then discuss
Use the Warn function in WP:Huggle, even for IP's - so they can be blocked.

WikiProject Banners

Every article should have one; usually more. The more eyes, the better the article.
1. If more than 3; place {{WikiProjectBannerShell}}; If WPBIO then add blp=yes to the shell
WP Banner Order
1. If WPBio, then move it to first position. Take a famous tennis player; WPBio, Then Tennis, Then country of birth. Then state if US, Cities if they have a "Category:Sports people from {cityname}"
2. if Museum: Museum, then {art|tech|natural}, then country, maybe city

Projects

I have a number of projects in which I have an interest. I have not joined them all. I am still learning about Portals, Projects, Templates and Categories; how they currently work and generally making sure that my areas of interest are up to standards and correct data-wise when possible.

Articles I'm working on in my sandbox

These are works in progress, but I would still be interested in input other wikipedians have to offer on them.

Tip of the day...

Lead Section Size

The lead section of a Wikipedia article is the section before the first heading. The table of contents, if displayed, generally appears between the lead section and the first subheading.

Rule of thumb: If a topic deserves a heading or subheading, then it deserves short mention in the lead.

The lead section should contain up to four paragraphs, depending on the length of the article, and should provide a preview of the main points the article will make, summarizing the primary reasons the subject matter is interesting or notable. The lead should be capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article, should be written in a clear and accessible style, should be carefully sourced like the rest of the text, and should encourage the reader to want to read more. The following table has some general guidelines for the length of the lead section:

< 15,000 characters	medium size	> 30,000 characters
one or two paragraphs	two or three paragraphs	three or four paragraphs
