User:Pi.1415926535

Hi, I'm Pi.1415926535. I mostly edit about US transportation history, largely New England (especially the MBTA), the San Francisco Bay Area, and Amtrak. If you've got a question about transportation in the US, I can probably help, and I'm happy to search my personal collection and provide scans. I have a list of open questions in my research, for which any help is greatly appreciated.

My philosophy is to always edit with the aim of getting an article to GA status. Most of the articles I've gotten to GA have been railroad stations, though I've tackled a few larger topics like the Silver Line and Green Line Extension, and even a person (Marie Wittman) and a river (Stony Brook). I'm a fan of the weird and obscure topics; my GA credits include a station with no platforms, an experimental subway car, a long-gone streetcar line, and Amtrak paint schemes. I'm very grateful for those who have reviewed my GA nominations; I'm attempting to review as many articles by others as others have reviewed of mine.

I edit a lot, mostly content and some templates. I hit 10,000 edits on December 16, 2015, and 10 years on July 6, 2016; as of 2024, I'm north of 45,000 edits and 18 years. I edit even more on Commons, where I do a mixture of uploading my own photos, category creation, and grabbing public domain images from other sources. I am an administrator on Commons; I have no advanced permissions on enwiki.
