Wikipedia user page for Chris Lawson, devourer and regurgitator of knowledge.

Areas of particular interest include

*[[aviation]] (I'm a flight instructor by day, and a tireless vandalwhacker by night)

*[[numismatics]]

*[[Apple Macintosh|Macintosh computers]]

*[[history]], particularly [[World War II]] and [[United States history]]

*[[engineering]] and [[technology]] in general

*[[computer programming]] of late, particularly Apple's [[Cocoa (software)|Cocoa]] libraries of [[Objective-C]]. I've been doing lots of minor patching to the [[Camino]] Web browser.

If you'd like to see my personal Web site, where you'll find some biographical info, my blog, and assorted other bits, please feel free to [http://chrislawson.net/ visit it].

I have made particularly significant contributions to the following articles:

*[[Dime (U.S. coin)]]

*[[Nickel (U.S. coin)]]

*[[XF-11]]

*[[Lockheed L-188 Electra]]

*[[Larry Pina]]

Most of my contributions around Wikipedia are of the housekeeping variety, with lots of copyediting (my other day job, for [http://atpm.com/ ATPM] and [http://schwarztech.us/ SchwarzTech]) and other related cleanup.

I also do the occasional (not-so-occasional of late) [[Special:Recentchanges|RC]] patrol and enjoy whacking vandals in my spare time. This "hobby" is not without its risks; the vandals seem to be getting more aggressive and confrontational about my patrol. Shrugging off the offensive comments comes with the territory. Vandals beware: you're going to have to work really really hard to get my dander (not [[dandruff]]) up.

Stuff on my to-do list:

*Finish breaking down other U.S. coin denominations by series, as has been done with the dime and nickel.

*As part of above, incorporate [[Franklin half dollar]] into [[United States half dollar coin]] and probably [[Wheat penny]] into [[Penny (U.S. coin)]].

*Thoroughly copy-edit the entire [[:Category:United_States_coins|United States coins]] category and make sure stuff that isn't currently there gets included

*Collaborate with [[User:DieYuppieScum|DieYuppieScum]] and other members of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Numismatics|WikiProject Numismatics]] on the above
