My Wikipedia philosophies are:


 * I am not infallible. If I make a poor judgement or a mistake, please tell me so I can learn and be a better editor.
 * I always try to be polite. If you think I haven't been so, please let me know so I can apologize.
 * I just want Wikipedia to be a good encyclopedia.
 * I try to always see the good in peoples edits.

Useful Links

 * Citation templates
 * Good article nominations
 * Extended image syntax
 * Fair use rationale guideline
 * Good fair use rationale examples

About me
I am a resident of Prince William County, Virginia and my initial introduction to Wikipedia stemmed from a passing interest in local history. I've been a member since April 5th, 2006.

My interests include:


 * Harley Davidsons, because I've been riding since 1977. I am leather-clad biker trash and ride an Electraglide and a customized FLHS (spouse rides a Softail Deluxe).
 * Software engineering and web design (20+ years experience)
 * Railroading, because I've loved trains since I was a child
 * Food, cooking and sushi (what a great comfort activity!)
 * Music, where a rekindled passion has me buying a used Hammond L-101 organ and dreaming of Keith Emerson-like keyboard prowess
 * Guns, because I have a Virginia concealed handgun permit
 * Saltwater aquaria, because we have two nanoreefs, a 24 gallon, and a twelve gallon

Articles
I have this many edits, and I scored 3481 on the Wikipediholism test, where I was evaulated as a serious addict.

These are my current projects, as time permits:


 * Motorcycle club - still needs work on refs and neutrality, vandalism patrol
 * Hells Angels - far from neutral, much unverified information, vandalism patrol
 * Outlaws Motorcycle Club - much unverified information, vandalism patrol
 * Cascade system - very unencyclopedic
 * Bandidos - Needs POV work, vandalism patrol
 * Ostracitoxin - totally unreferenced
 * Quebec Biker war - copyedit
 * Rippon Lodge - photos, inline refs
 * Abutre's - I still can't decide if this Brazilian MC is notable
