I'm a real estate developer from British Columbia, Canada. I maintain a second home in Borneo, which is just as beautiful a place as BC in its own way. I've also lived in Maryland, Missouri, Beijing and Mexico City.

For fun I enjoy writing both for free and sometimes professionally. I've developed particular expertise in real estate, business, law, political topics, geography and international relations.

I'm pretty reasonable and open to suggestions, so before assuming the worst about something I did, feel free to leave questions or notifications on my talk page. Some people even appreciate my work on Wikipedia. (Shocking but true).

A few Selected Text Thanks

 * Thanks for all your efforts in preventing this editor from editing against consensus. We may not always see eye to eye, but this is very much appreciated.  ~ P123ct1 (talk) 10:15, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Maybe my "Google-Foo" is simply luck, but I've enjoyed bringing a few articles back from the edge. Your withdrawals are most appreciated.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 05:42, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you note Thank you for your objectivity and high standards in closing articles at AFD.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:45, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * First, thanks for all of your work with the Neelix redirects. A number of editors and admins helped out but you did a lot of the clean-up work after the initial rush of deletions occurred....Good luck and thanks again for your work on the redirect cleanup! Liz  Read! Talk! 20:46, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Legacypac,...Keep going old bean... you're doing a grand job (thought you were an admin anyway). Si Trew (talk) 09:32, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for listing the Neelix redirects Title says it: not a thankless job, then. Si Trew (talk) 02:29, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I really appreciate your intervention in the AN/I with a proposed solution.  You went out of your way to do that when you need not have done.  Thanks. P-123 (talk) 09:15, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
 * .. a side.. I like you article Hyeon Soo Lim. :)--BabbaQ (talk) 23:29, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
 * RfD thanks Thanks once again for your hard work at RfD – I don't know how much you put up with the criticism. It must be very tempting sometimes to CSD the whole lot rather than bother to list them a few at RfD at all, I think people miss that point (non-regulars won't know so won't call it N-bashing; regulars will and should know not to.) ... Keep it up. Si Trew (talk) 00:45, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Neelix Hi there; I know that you have spent some time identifying Neelix nonsense, and I have spent a fair bit of time deleting it. I have just done some arithmetic. Neelix claims on his userpage to have created over 60,000 redirects (!!!). They are listed on his talk page; I have found that something over 95% are deletable. Allowing for checking some articles, I find that I can process one hundred every hour. Assuming that I do this regularly for three hours every day, I can clear the lot in just under 48 weeks!!!!! --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 17:46, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I think that ("nuking the lot of them would be a better use of time, letting responsible people recreate the ones that are needed") would have been a better option. But what's done is done. Thanks for all the work you have done on them.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  14:09, 25 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks Hey there legacypac, thanks for giving me the link to the 'To Do' lists - sorry if i caused any inconvenience with that page - kind regards,Josh2221 (talk) 01:16, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for combining the Dorothy and Mel Tanner pages, Legacypac. I appreciate that and for your kind words about the page! I have a question: Is it possible to have an infobox for Mel Tanner underneath Dorothy Tanner's infobox? Is it possible to add a couple of additional photos of Mel Tanner's art? Many thanks, Barry Barryraphael (talk) 06:20, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Travel
I don't just read and write about the world, I love to explore it!
 * In North America: I've got one US state Mississippi and two or three areas of Canada - PEI and Nunavut remain plus the remote Labrador region of Newfoundland and Labrador (11/13 provinces and territories). In Mexico I've covered 27/32 states so far.
 * In the rest of the Americas visited: Colombia, Guatamala, Belize, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Aruba, St Kitts and Nevis, USVI, BVI, St Maarten and Collectivity of Saint Martin, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, The Bahamas, Brazil (10 states), Paraguay, and Argentina.
 * In Africa I've only reached Morocco, Ceuta, Canary Islands and Cape Verde so far;
 * In Europe visited: England, Spain (8/17 provinces), Gibraltar, Portugal, Andorra, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Ukraine, Sweden, Denmark, Finland including Aland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Iceland, France, Switzerland, Greece, Republic of Macedonia, Kosovo, and Albania
 * In Asia visited: Peoples Republic of China (14/33 provinces), Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia (4/7 regions), Brunei, Philippines, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia.
 * In Middle East visited: Kuwait, UAE (7/7), Oman, and Turkey. The most off beat places not quite visited were poking my nose and only my nose through a fence into Iraq during the first Gulf War and driving into Saudi Arabia without a visa by accident from Kuwait, which was a unique experience in convincing both the Saudi's and the Kuwaiti's to let me pass back across the border without any Saudi visa or a multi-entry Kuwait visa. Major language barriers that day made for fun times.
 * EuroAsian Continental Pole of Inaccessibility reached, roughly, there is some dispute over where it is exactly.
 * Completed Circumnavigation of globe west to east - North America, Europe, Middle East, Europe, Asia, North America.
 * Visited 5/7 Continents and swam in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans as well as various seas.
 * Driven across USA North-South (both I-5 and I-95 routes) and East-West across the Northern states and California to Louisiana.
 * Crossed the Northern most border crossing in North America
 * Full transit Panama Canal east to west on a Panamax vessel.
 * Transcontinental sea crossings of Strait of Gibraltar (Europe-Africa-Europe), Caribbean Sea (North-South-North America), Atlantc Ocean (Europe-Africa-South America) and bridge crossing of the Bosporous (Europe-Asia)
 * Visited at least 105/1073 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Some big places remain on my bucket list: the 'Stans', the South Pacific, the Indian subcontinent, and Sub-Saharian Africa. Some people say the travel bug is a sickness but I'd rather see stuff than sit home.
