User:RyanCross/About

Greetings, I'm RyanCross, a Wikipedian of the English Wikipedia. I'm always glad to help other editors, so don't hesitate to ask on my talk page if you need my assistance. I'm a contributer to Wikipedia because I believe we can make positive changes to the world, spreading the gift of free knowledge to our readers. I believe we can improve the quality of Wikipedia and encourage more and more people to help in our collaborative attempt to spread the knowledge to others while working together as a community here at Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.

Here on the English Wikipedia
I have a few main areas here on Wikipedia. I write mostly baseball-related topics since I'm interested about the history of baseball and baseball players very much. I help out WikiProject Baseball and the Boston Red Sox WikiProject since I'm a Major League Baseball and Boston Red Sox fan. Click here to view all the articles I have created.

My most focused area would probably be WP:DYK. I review suggested hooks and move verified suggested hooks to the next update so they can appear on the Main page. Most of the articles I've created or expanded are DYKs and have appeared in the "Did you know..." section on the Main Page. You can visit this page to view my DYK hooks. I sometimes new page patrol, mostly tagging WP:CSDs, or simply just improving those new articles, ect. I revert vandalism quite often and report vandals or spammers that need to be blocked at WP:AIV to prevent further vandalism, and try to make the appropriate actions there. I also clerk (commenting and removing insufficiently reported users) at AIV. I create account requests, having the ability to create more than six accounts a day with the help of the account creator right. I also have rollback rights so I can easily and quickly revert vandalism using the rollback tool. I !vote at WP:AFD on occasions and usually make WP:NACs to close debates myself. I do a lot of copyediting and wikifying on pretty much any article as well, along with some interwiki work. I sometimes volunteer at the help desk and the page. Though, not all the time, I participate in WP:AN and WP:ANI discussions and try to help resolve situations.

So anyway, if you need my assistance or if you would just like to talk to me (I hope it's not something myspacey...), the best place to do that would be contacting me on my talk page or by e-mailing me.

In need of a new user page design?
I am a designer and part of the User Page Design Center's Help and collaboration project. I am very happy to assist others in designing or redesigning their user pages.

I take great pleasure in helping other users in need of help, and I enjoy designing other Wiki pages. So if you want me to lend you a hand with your own user page, just give me a call and I'll see what I can do. Results not guaranteed! It will typically take me a few days to fulfill your request, but it should look good by then. Just be sure that there is a decent amount of text on your page and also be sure that you explain what you want your page to be like in details. Just ask on my talk page Some pages I’ve designed:
