User:Spiffy sperry

I live in central Illinois, USA. I've been a Wikipedia editor since September 2005.

Shortcuts

 * templates for user warnings: Multi notice links
 * WP:RSPS - reliable & perennial sources
 * WP:REFILL - tool for expanding citations
 * advice regarding a "controversial" comment and the resulting media frenzy

Wiki projects

 * Current
 * various pages related to tropical cyclones and potentially hazardous asteroids (mainly due to my obsession with spreadsheets)
 * presidential election info (e.g., polling and results) in 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024
 * sports-related articles for my favorite teams, which has expanded to college basketball tournaments, NFL standings templates, and MLB rivalries.
 * Past
 * environmental articles related to my former employment
 * adding sort keys to category labels (Categorization) - mostly for "List of" categories, so the 'L' section isn't crammed (now made easier by Template:DEFAULTSORT)
 * "wikifying" deadend pages (Special:Deadendpages) - remember the guidelines on linking!
 * General clean-up
 * Category:Articles requiring unit attention
 * fixing brackets and quotes (Wiki Syntax)
 * fixing double redirects (Special:DoubleRedirects) - apparently, there's a bot for this, so anything I do is a shameless way to pad my edit stats
 * County and Township articles for Illinois

Articles that make me chuckle

 * Recursive acronym and Backronym
 * Strategery and Truthiness
 * More cow bell and The Ministry of Silly Walks
 * Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo
 * WP:HOLICTEST - WP:LAST - WP:SPIDER - WP:STUPID
