User:Slgrandson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello. My name is Dylan, also known as Slgrandson on select MediaWiki sites, and by my initials at IMDb and elsewhere. I am 20 years of age, and now live in Waterbury, Connecticut. I used to live near my home suburb of Stockfarm located in Roseau, the Commonwealth of Dominica, with my two sisters, a granny and a great-grandma, as well as my daddy, and edited for almost three months in the Bronx of New York City.

My main interests are Care Bears, ABBA and The Secret of NIMH.

I've also contributed to the article for the Bears' first movie and brought it up to GA status. As a fan, I have also begun those for numbers two, three, four, five and six, as well as their TV show.

Although I will continue to edit this site, I will or will not be engaged in this activity all too occassionally. As of April 1, I am now in the midst of developing a prequel to my ambitious novel. For details, see my PBWiki site (in the green box below).

[edit] Origin of my user name

I am named after my family relation, a contraction of the phrase "Sylvie Lewis' grandson" (the first two letters are her initials).

[edit] Recognition and significance

I am supposedly the only Wikipedia member to come out of Dominica, but I am not the only one to come from the Caribbean region. See Category:Caribbean Wikipedians and related subcats for a full list.

[edit] Expertise

I work on Wikipedia articles dealing mainly with the film industry and pop-culture, and some on local and regional affairs. From time to time, I help add existing and future SIMPLE links to English articles.

Sometimes, I go behind the scenes at the Recent Changes section and contribute a little to whatever pages attract me. I even vote, and help out, on Articles for Deletion.

I've recently been a good sport at welcoming, advising and warning users and IPs of all kinds.

Pardon if I've gone a little too fast recently in patrolling, but otherwise I'm all right in this area.

[edit] Today's news

[edit] Today's snapshot

A statue of Louis Agassiz, a Swiss-American geologist, after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, on the campus of Stanford University. It is said that when the earthquake struck, "[the statue of] Agassiz stuck his head underground to find out what was going on in the earth below and with his finger pointing saying, 'Hark! Listen!'"
