Not sure what should to go here, but Hi. I've been an advocate of Wikipedia from the start, at a time when some of my colleagues and friends were sure it would spell an end to quality, curated information. It makes me happy that Wikipedia is not only still around but still engaging its community in getting better.

I'm a long-time Wikipedia user, supporter when I can, and since 2006 very occasional contributor about things I know something about. (Sometimes that includes fixing punctuation or other very minor inconsistencies that I observe.) I myself sometimes invert or omit letters when I type—so if you see that in anything I've done, please feel free to fix it.

Disclosure of conflict of interest: In 2016, I created a page for a high school classmate of mine, Cheryl Kelley, now a well-known artist. This was before the updated guidelines concerning conflicts of interest, and I didn't disclose my connection to Cheryl at the time. However, I did work to make the page meet Wikipedia's standards and I gladly accepted guidance from the community. It is always my intent to abide by Wikipedia's Terms of Use and guidelines for Conflict of Interest.

While I've been a Wikipedia user for a long time, I'm still relatively new to the contributor process, especially as it continues to evolve, and I'm eager to learn.
