Today's motto...
Live and let live
What I do here
I like checking out WP:FC occasionally, and I check my watchlist many many times throughout the day. I patrol for vandalism and occasionally vote of AfD's. I should probably do both of those things more often, but lately I've been distracted by WP:GL and rewriting the Malamute page here. In delving into the Malamute page, I also tend to wander into other dog breed articles (especially the Spitze) to do smaller changes.
The tools of my "Wikipedia trade" include WP:POP, WP:LAVT, Google, books, Inkscape, and The Gimp.
I have been adopted by User:(aeropagitica) through Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User. He has been a great help, and I definitely recommend new users interested in learning the proper way to do things to get themselves adopted.

What I'd like to do
Once I've finished the Malamute article, which is going very slowly, I'd like to definitely participate in more AfD's, and possibly get into other types of XfD's. I want to get more involved in image things, such as moving eligible ones to Commons. Some wikiprojects that seem interesting to get involved in later are WP:LoCE and WP:WPPDP.

 When to use external links
While Wikipedia is not a web directory, external links are allowed where appropriate. They generally are listed under a == level 2 heading == called "External links", even if there is only one link. The best way to create external links is to type "[URL link title]". For example, [http://www.wikibooks.org Wikibooks] will become Wikibooks. However, such short link titles generally are frowned upon. Try to describe your external links, so that the reader has a pretty good idea where it will take them before clicking on it. In the body of articles, do not use external links where Wikipedia links exist. For example, in an article about Wikimedia, a link to Wikibooks (the Wikipedia article about the project) would be more appropriate than a direct link to Wikibooks.org. – – Read more: To add this auto-randomizing template to your user page, use {{totd-random}}
