 I have a deadline, do you?

'''I am the Devil's advocate, the thorn in your side. But rejoice, for I am not here to destroy your fantasy, but rather to enlighten it with the viewpoint seldom seen.'''

My name is Justin O'Neill, though I prefer to go by Jesse. I am a long standing contributor, having been here since August 2003. However, I made very few edits between 2004 and 2008. My contributions before 2004 were, suffice to say, crap. They would be deleted in an instant by today's encyclopedic standards. That aside, I am the original creator/contributor of many articles, which have since blossomed into beautiful flowers through the contributions of other editors after me. These include many of the song pages for Pink Floyd, a few famous musicians/groups, as well as several of the freeway pages for Southern Ontario (Check to the bottom for a complete list, including my recent article creations).

Today my editing crosses an odd range of topics. From southern Ontario geography articles such as Fenelon Falls and Coboconk, to bands such as Pink Floyd and Rush, to road articles such as a rewrite of Highway 401, to my petty attempt at reconciliation in maintaining the Canadian Indian residential school gravesites article. I've also got a knack for debugging templates. My experimentation led to the integration of KML files into Wikipedia, along with the work of User:Scott5114 in developing Attached KML.

I am a Civil Engineer currently working towards future employment with the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario. I am an expert historian regarding matters in Southern Ontario and Toronto, so feel free to contact me if you need some info. I have access to the historical collections of the Toronto Star and Globe and Mail dating back to the 19th century as well, and am happy to provide screenshots of articles (by email) on request.

If you are interested in reading or contributing to my draft articles, you can find them in my sandbox. Please do not copy content into mainspace articles, as I am preparing many of them for the 5x expansion required by Did You Know...? or looking for a clean insertion (if ya know whad I mean...)

Please note: As a Utility Coordination Engineer in Ontario, I have access to knowledge on various infrastructure construction projects that hasn't been publicly released. Although I have nothing to gain through the dissemination of this information, I feel it is important to note. I will announce in edit summaries when my additions are based on inside knowledge.
