Welcome to Albany NY's user page. I have been editing Wikipedia since 2006. Although my original focus was on improving articles relating to New York's Capital District, I often edit articles in numerous areas. Common tasks of mine include adding infoboxes, geolinks, and references to articles, wikifying dead-end pages, creating redirects, uploading photographs, editing section headings, and formatting bold text, italics, and capitalization. I'm a fairly passionate inclusionist in regard to Wikipedia philosophy (see [1] [2] [3]).
I have made significant contributions to the following pages. Articles that I created are in bold.
I have taken the following images. Most were shot with a Canon PowerShot S50 digital camera, and some were edited with Adobe Photoshop. I have released them under free licenses.
Edit counts in the main namespace:
Approximately 95 percent of my edits are to articles, and I have edited more than 10,000 unique pages. I appear on the list of Wikipedians by number of edits, ranked in the 7000s as of February 2016. In September 2013, I was ranked at 2879 on the list of Wikipedians by number of recent edits. I was granted rollback and reviewer rights in February 2015.

Thank you, "fairly passionate inclusionist", for quality articles such as
Albany Institute of History & Art and
Schenectady Museum, for adding substantially such as to the
New York State Capitol, for gnomish work from adding infoboxes to capitalization, for restoring referenced content and boldly requesting comments, - you are an
awesome Wikipedian!
