About Me

Hello Wikipedians! Welcome to my user page! I want to introduce myself on Wikipedia.

About me on Wikipedia

I attempted my first edit on Wikipedia sometime in late 2013 to early 2014 as an unregistered user on the Appleton International Airport article. I joined Wikipedia in early June 2014, with the very username I still use today. My first edits were to add FedEx as a cargo airline at Appleton airport. I slowly learned more about cool tricks I could do with Wikipedia and built myself up. I started to do a little editing to Wisconsin GA articles in the summer of 2016 and in July 2016, I published my first article; Pioneer Airport. Today I have nearly 11,000 edits to my name across the whole family of wikis Wikipedia is part of and roughly 50 brand new articles which I have lead or contributed to its creation. Recently I have taken a bit of a step back from Wikipedia due to other personal reasons but still, log in and make an edit at least once a week.

What I do on Wikipedia

I am a very varied person here on Wikipedia. Some days I'm working on an aviation article, other days I'm working on an article on a different subject, and on other days I'm in a program like Huggle reverting vandal edits. I have also been known to be quite curious always trying out new things and experimenting.

Personal life

Now I want to share a small bit of my personal life with you. I was raised in the town of Grand Chute, Wisconsin just outside Appleton, Wisconsin. I still live in the Appleton Metro area to this day. In my free time, I like to edit Wikipedia, cycle on my bike, plane spot at Appleton International Airport, and a whole bunch of other things season-dependent. I am an FAA licensed aircraft maintenance technician (A&P), as well as an FCC/Aircraft Electronics Association, certified Aircraft Electronics Technician.

Where to upload images and media files

Wikipedia encyclopedia articles may be improved by including images as well as sound and video clip media files. It is important to understand where to upload these files.

  • Images and other media files must be uploaded either to Wikipedia or to Wikimedia Commons before they can be used.
  • If you do not already have a Wikipedia account, you must create one to upload images. The account will work across all twelve Wikipedia sister projects such as the Commons.
  • Wikipedia prefers free images that can be reused commercially and modified.
  • Non-free images may be used, but only in certain circumstances and if a free equivalent is not possible.
  • Wikimedia Commons only accepts free images, which can then be used by any of the other Wikimedia projects.

There is a how-to guide available at Wikipedia:Creation and usage of media files and a picture tutorial that explains how to add images to an article.
