User:Donner60 This is a Wikipedia user page. This is not an encyclopedia article. If you find this page on any site other than Wikipedia, you are viewing a mirror site. Be aware that the page may be outdated and that the user to whom this page belongs may have no personal affiliation with any site other than Wikipedia itself.
In June 2013, I moved much of what was on this page to a collapsible section on my user page. I put a long version of the welcome template on this page in May 2014 as an example welcome template and to provide another convenient list of basic Wikipedia editing, policy and guideline article links. As of July 2015, my user page is beginning to use a somewhat large amount of bytes but perhaps is still ok as a user page since the collapsible sections make the initial view of the page rather compact. I may move some of the lists in those sections to a sub-page in the future.
I deleted links to categories because this page appeared on the main Wikipedia pages for the categories that were listed on this page. I now realize that adding nowiki tags or simply not bracketing the categories should prevent that. Links to articles only show up on the "What links here" page. Many editors link to Wikipedia project pages and although that produces long lists of links, it seems to be both acceptable and necessary if the links are to be of most help. Links to templates also seem to cause inappropriate inclusion so to the extent I have kept the page names, I have removed the brackets.
My bibliography/library sub-pages have been most useful to me. They provide citations in full form. I usually can quickly find the books I own or have downloaded that may have information on a certain topic which I wish to edit or to which I want to provide a citation. I think a reference page for editing can still be useful if it provides a quick way to find links to pages on editing, style, policy and guidelines, so I am revising this page again to be my single sub-page for those references and some miscellaneous matters. These pages can be useful in explaining reversions and other edits to new users or others who are unaware of a policy, guideline or required or preferred style. In those cases, finding the useful information quickly can be helpful in preparing a better message.

I intended to keep a list of articles to which I added citations from Questia, High Beam and JSTOR but failed to keep it up. I think it would be very difficult to track down all of these pages after a few years of editing, especially with many counter-vandalism edits on my contributions list. Still I may try to track down some of these past edits and to start adding them here or to an offline list which I would use to update the lists here occasionally.
