User:Ground

I frequently use Wikipedia as a resource, but rarely edit. I wrote my profile below in 2003-04, when I was more involved as an editor.

My contributions.

I use Firefox with the BugMeNot, Mouse Gestures, Adblock, FLST, and Linkification extensions. See www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1299854/posts for a valuable way to improve Firefox's speed.

I was born on July 14, 1986. A native of Syracuse, New York, I now attend Stony Brook University on Long Island.

I am more of a cleanup-and-wikification sort than an author of original articles. At the moment, I do not participate to a large degree in community pages such as VfD or FAC. However, I do idle in the Wikipedia IRC channel.

My first substantive addition was made to Eugene McCarthy on October 2, 2004. So far I am most proud of the article on Douglas Wilder. I believe images greatly enhance the content of any article and encourage visitors to keep reading; as such, I try to legally add images to articles that I deem important.

Articles I have created from scratch:
 * Armstrong High School (Richmond, Virginia)
 * Base (politics)
 * Elizabeth Holtzman
 * Heifer International
 * IronMind
 * Party switching in the United States (originally Party switching)
 * Ray Davis (U.S. Marine)
 * Samuel C. Armstrong
 * Steve Brodner
 * Terry Richardson
 * Underdog (competition)
 * Upset
