User:Cmadler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Due to the widespread speedy-deletion of User boxes, I have removed them all...at least until I figure out how to give a big "up yours" to the deletionists.

Been there (done that)

[edit] Me, glorious me!

I grew up in Lexington, Kentucky and went to the University of Kentucky from which I received a Bachelor of Arts in Music. In 2005 I received a Master of Business Administration degree from Michigan State University, and I now live in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Come visit me at Who is Vinny Oswego? or The Book Report.

Most of my work in Wikipedia has been related to bluegrass music, which I grew up listening to. Going forward, I plan to continue work on bluegrass music related articles, including the main article, subgenres, and musicians. If you would like to discuss bluegrass or any other article/topic to which I've contributed (or something completely off-topic like the weather, which for me is particularly nasty at the moment) just leave a note on my talk page; I check it regularly.

If you are also working on bluegrass music related articles, you are welcome to make full use of my to-do list below.

Recently I have also become active in the U.S. Collaboration of the Week.

[edit] My edits

Most active day: January 20, 2006. By the end of the day I had made 84 edits. I think I am going to take it easy for a few days! Check out the work I did on Paul Laurence Dunbar High School! ([1])
