About SpellcheckW7 WikiWes77
I chose this username because I am likely to make spelling (and grammar) corrections. In my city spelling contest, I placed 4th when I was in the fifth grade, and 2nd when I was in the 6th grade. When I was in a 9th grade English class, my teacher said that he thought I had better grammar than even he did.

I have now changed my username, because my interests have moved beyond mere proofreading. --WikiWes77 (talk) 03:38, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

My Help Page
User:WikiWes77/Wikipedia Editor's Reference and Tools

Note: After looking at existing help pages, I realize that this page is redundant. I no longer provide links to it.

User Edit Count Tool
Toolserver.org counter, lists edits by any given user in different name spaces.

Another one, slow, but thorough

Find people to welcome
Note: I do not welcome new users with no contributions. See Welcoming committee (Users without any edits). Also, I don't think we should usually take the time to post comments on talk pages for anonymous users, except for templates that let administrators and other users know the nature of the edits that are coming from that IP address. I don't think anonymous users read their talk page for their IP address very often.
