How I come to be here
After reading an article about the self-healing nature of Wikipedia I decided to use Wikipedia as my introduction to the whole "Wiki" scene. I made a small number of updates here and on Wikinews for a while, then moved away

Return in 2016
After deploying a MediaWiki VM based on a TurnKey Linux Virtual Appliance Library ISO as a draft Knowledge Base to collect information at a new job, I decided to dust off my old Wikipedia account and see if there's anything I can contribute to. In 2017 I got into genealogy and WikiTree, then back into Wikipedia. After significantly reducing my time on Reddit due to /r/the_donald, I decided to spend more time back in the wiki world.

Public Domain
All of my contributions to Wikipedia are public domain. Use, abuse, whatever.

Current Interests
Due to my genealogy activities, I'm particularly interested in major events from 1500-ish to around my birth (late 1900s) that affected the movement of people. Social and political upheaval, technical advancements, colonization, disease and more. I'm aiming to produce a timeline of things that affected people.
