Just an old Engineer from the States, slowly making this user-page a bit less drab. :) Retired with a lot of time on my hands and Wikipedia editing has become just another hobby of mine.  I'm not entirely new to Wikipedia, I had contributed a bit back in 2004, but I still have a lot to learn.  I hope to be a valuable contributor and enjoy learning from my betters and the many veterans here.  I mostly contribute to pages involving distance education, music, and technology.  I also enjoy fixing typos and the general copy-edit.  You can find me with a cup o' joe at the Teahouse, I'll be the one reading.

Newest things I have learned from veteran editors

 * 1) Ordinal indicators and superscript are not required in dates.
 * 2) How to properly capitalize headings. (WP:MOS)
 * 3) Do not use in line external links.
 * 4) Only use independent secondary sources for citations, primary sources are not valid.
 * 5) Help:Cheatsheet is my buddy.
