Edit Count
There appears to be an interest in the number of edits people make. So, here is a link noting my count.

I've been working on Wikipedia since 26 July 2006 19:02 (UTC).
 * BlindEagle's edit count

Interests
I am interested in expanding the information available for all breeds of Sheep and Llamas. In looking at the List of sheep breeds, there are many aticles missing. One of my tasks I would like to accomplish is to create articles with some substance (not just stubs) for each entry.

Assessments
In the WP:AG, WP:WISCONSIN and WP:MAMMAL projects, I have been working on assessments. It is interesting that so many article go without a rating of importance or quality level.

About vandalism
During the time I have been on Wikipedia, I have seen a wide range of unoriginal and rather creative edits that all qualify as vandalism. It is an interesting read. Some of the edits folks put out there are very, very humorous. Others, on the other hand, are quite, well, just stupid.

After placing an edit on an anonymous talk page, I do not monitor the page. If I monitored all the pages I placed edits on, I would be monitoring way too many pages and would not be able to edit or monitor my core interests here.

In either case, I tend to troll the anonymous IP edits that have not included an edit summary. Generally, these types of edits are vandalism. I try to read them closely to try to squeak out just a bit of hope that they are valid. Well, my edit count continues to rise. So, you can safely assume that I have found only a few anonymous edits that are not vandalism. But, I persevere.

Welcome
For both named and anonymous users, I have been placing a welcome template on their talk pages. I feel that if someone taps those newbies on the shoulder and let them know there is guidance out there, they are less apt to vandalize articles and pages.

General links
Link to FA checklist: Featured article criteria. As time goes on, I hope to improve several articles in my core interests to FA status. There's a lot of good information out there.
