My Wikipedia philosophies are:

• I am not infallible. If I make a poor judgement or a mistake, please tell me so I can learn and be a better editor.
• I always try to be polite. If you think I haven't been so, please let me know so I can apologize.
• I just want Wikipedia to be a good encyclopedia.
• I try to always see the good in peoples edits.

• Citation templates
• Good article nominations
• Extended image syntax
• Fair use rationale guideline
• Good fair use rationale examples

I am a resident of Prince William County, Virginia and my initial introduction to Wikipedia stemmed from a passing interest in local history. I've been a member since April 5th, 2006.

My interests include:

• Harley Davidsons, because I've been riding since 1977. I am leather-clad biker trash and ride an Electraglide and a customized FLHS (spouse rides a Softail Deluxe).
• Software engineering and web design (20+ years experience)
• Railroading, because I've loved trains since I was a child
• Food, cooking and sushi (what a great comfort activity!)
• Music, where a rekindled passion has me buying a used Hammond L-101 organ and dreaming of Keith Emerson-like keyboard prowess
• Guns, because I have a Virginia concealed handgun permit
• Saltwater aquaria, because we have two nanoreefs, a 24 gallon, and a twelve gallon

I have this many edits, and I scored 3481 on the Wikipediholism test, where I was evaulated as a serious addict.

These are my current projects, as time permits:

• Motorcycle club - still needs work on refs and neutrality, vandalism patrol
• Hells Angels - far from neutral, much unverified information, vandalism patrol
• Outlaws Motorcycle Club - much unverified information, vandalism patrol
• Cascade system - very unencyclopedic
• Bandidos - Needs POV work, vandalism patrol
• Ostracitoxin - totally unreferenced
• Quebec Biker war - copyedit
• Rippon Lodge - photos, inline refs
• Abutre's - I still can't decide if this Brazilian MC is notable
