Have a question or comment about Wikipedia?

Hello, I have been a Wikipedian since January 1, 2002. After getting totally hooked on the idea of Wikipedia I then became a member of the Wikipedia Volunteer Fire Department and later a Wikipedia Administrator (all this really means is that I am a hopeless Wikipediholic).

In December of 2001 I graduated with a bachelors degree in biology and a minor in geology but I'm interested in a great many things. From the time I graduated until late 2004 I was working for Caltrans on transit planning, specifically transit-oriented development. During that time I was going to night school part time learning all about Geographic Information Systems (GIS). For most of 2004 I worked for the City of Sacramento, California on a GIS-related contract. In December 2004 I moved to Atlanta, Georgia and am now working on another GIS contract.

Taking GIS courses has totally hooked me on geography and learning about it and my long-time favorite subject geology by going on field studies (see my images section). I plan to go back to university in fall 2005 to start work on a masters degree in either biological conservation (the easy route) or geography (not as easy since I don't have the undergraduate courses yet). I previously wanted to get my masters in atmospheric science but I slowly decided against it as I've come to appreciate the comprehensive nature of geography, which studies the spatial interrelationships between biology, geology, archeology, history, climate, weather, oceanography and culture. I also exceeded the unit maximum for taking field studies so I have to go to a different school to start over! :) After my masters I plan on receiving a PhD in Global/Earth Systems Science (which James Lovelock liked to call Geophysiology).

What's in a name?

About the handle. Well I have always been a maverick so that part seemed appropriate (and what true "maverick" would actually spell it correctly -- hey, wait a minute, I just did spell it correctly... errr). The "149" part is a reference to the movies 2001: A Space Odyssey & 2010 The Year We Make Contact, in which we find out the dimensions of the mysterious monolith (1 by 4 by 9). Knowing this, it is most appropriate for me to graduate in the year 2001 with a Bachelors, and plan on graduating in 2010 with a PhD -- I know, I'm a geek. But I am damn proud of it.

If for some insane reason, lack of sleep, psychosis or other dementia you want to know more about me, then visit my totally opinionated meta page.

I sometimes give quick, seemingly unkind and terse comments on talk pages and in edit summaries. However meanness is not at all the intent, just efficiency. This is a quirk of my rare personality type: INTJ (http://keirsey.com/personality/ntij.html). I do try to moderate what I say and how I say it -- mainly because my terseness sometimes leads to inefficient discussion to resolve misunderstandings on talk pages.

uncategorized articles expanded/improved

An uncategorized list of some articles that I have added a significant amount of unique content to (relative to the article size or quality of information presented when I found it) and/or edited significantly (adding of public domain text not counted -- although I do a lot of that too) (totally inadequate partial listing -- newer entries are at top):

Historical anniversaries

As part of WikiProject Days of the Year, I've been involved with expanding the events section of our Historical anniversaries day pages and then updating every year page linked from those pages along with many other articles. A handfull of the entries did not need additional events so I just updated all the linked year pages and many of the corresponding subjects. I am also the lead coordinator of the Selected anniversaries section on the Main Page.

Killing / pages

I moved all the / pages for each and every Star Wars and Star Trek articles to non-/ed titles, fixed hundreds of active and edits links within these, reformatted and wikified many of these articles. All this work seems to have paid off -- contributions to these entries have noticably improved now that linking is far easier for these articles.

I'm helping to do the same thing for the country / pages and I helped motivate others to do the same for the Middle-earth and the The Simpsons articles.

Queue

Talk pages where I have placed raw content that needs additional work before being placed into an article
Talk:Test, Talk:2010 Odyssey Two, Talk:Escherichia coli, Talk:Acetic acid bacteria, Talk:Bacillus cereus, Talk:License, Talk:Glycolysis
