- Hello. I edit Wikipedia, I miss the Montréal Expos, and I'm an adult with autism. What? You need more about me? Oh, alright...
- I'm apparently a long time Wikipedian; my account was made in 2003. I've gone through long breaks from Wikipedia and short phases of writing articles. Most of my articles involve baseball or other sports. In my current return, I've done the following edits for the following reasons:
- Henry Mathewson (because after Retrosheet updated for 1906, I was intrigued by a 14-walk game of his)
- Marty Swandell (because the idea of him umpiring before his National Association debut surprised me)
- Jim Derrington (because, when his birthday came around, I was surprised at how young he was when he debuted)
- Jim Siwy (because I was born the day he debuted)
- Peter Morris (because the story of his discovery is remarkable to me)
- All of them have been approved to be placed in the Did You Know? section of the front page. I'd rather make DYK articles than anything else. In my past, I've written a handful of DYK articles; some not-so-intelligent purging of my talk pages during some darker years of my life mean they aren't visible on my talk page. There is one downside to DYK: I do sometimes struggle with reviewing others' articles as part of the QPQ system. Maybe I'm too harsh in my reviews. Accordingly, bear with me if you get a review of mine.
Currently, I am most interested in working on:
The latter is partially done, but more difficult to finish due to a lot more written about him than most players of this nature that I have to try and process. Wera's difficulty revolves around mixing his baseball career with a special story of his that has its SABR BioProject article, even if it doesn't directly affect Wera's playing career. Someday, I might actually finish one of them. If I ever get the strength to do something even longer, I'd even take a stab at doing someone like Guy Hecker. All three have great stories. They'll get added to Wikipedia eventually. I hope I can provide them. I just can't provide it right away.
- There is more about me, but that's the important stuff.
