[edit] Football

My big contribution here is the creation of various American football categories, including several Category:National Football League players by team categories, and all sub-categories that would belong there. If you happen to create and/or edit a page on a football player, make sure you please put the following categories at the bottom:

Year of birth

Do not include Category:National Football League players, Category:American Football League players, Category:NFL Europa players or Category:Canadian Football League players; instead, add them to the teams they played for (see below). EXCEPTION: Category:United States Football League players or Category:XFL players

Position (e.g. Category:American football quarterbacks/safeties/etc.)

Team (Category:Chicago Bears players, Category:Carolina Panthers players, etc.)

The thing to note is, if they played on a team that moved/changed names/folded, each team name gets an individual category. For example, when the AFL was created in 1960, there was a team called the Los Angeles Chargers. In 1961, they moved to San Diego, where they still remain. The pages of any players from that inaugural team who played in 1960 and 1961 should have BOTH Category:Los Angeles Chargers players and Category: San Diego Chargers (AFL) players categories. Same with the Chicago/St. Louis/Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals, the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts, the Oakland/Los Angeles/Oakland Raiders, or the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Oilers/Tennessee Titans. This way, someone can see who played for a team at that specific point in time, rather than wondering at what point in the franchise history someone was on the team. If we can get continuity throughout all of the football bios, it will make things a lot easier in my opinion.

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject National Football League

I'm a proud member of the WP:NFL, and have been partially responsible (along with Mike Selinker, Meegs, and others) for re-categorizing the entire Category:National Football League players, as well as working on the Category:College football players. I also created Category:World League of American Football players, since I have a peculiar interest in the WLAF.

[edit] Articles I've written/created/overhauled:

[edit] Carolina Panthers

Chances are, I've edited or created any page on any player who's ever played for the Carolina Panthers. That's my team, Cardiac Cats, baby! Articles I've overhauled:

[edit] Hockey

Sportskido8, Flamurai and I worked hard on bringing the New Jersey Devils page to featured status, and we're proud of the first FA-status hockey article. WOOHOO!!!

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia

As I work in radio, this is a perfect project for me. I've already finished spoken versions of Super Mario 64 and Red vs Blue (which I recorded in one night and posted two days before it hit the Main Page), and plan on working on several others as my schedule allows.

My Vandalism Stats:

Since 12/4/2006 6:18:47 PM, I've identified and reverted 17 edits as vandalism.

Of those, 0 were not vanadalism. (Accuracy: 100%) (See Log)

[edit] Other articles

I've done random work on a variety of articles, ranging in topics from music to technology to politics to sports. Below are just a few of the articles I've written/done substantial work on:
