User:Slysplace Slysplace is a semi-anonymous Wikipedian with an (occasional) multitude of interests and odd knowledge who insists his writing to be edited mercilessly.

Although I often use automated tools I am not an admin, a bot or bot operator (nor do I wish to be) and occasionally do fix and write things manually.

There are currently 6,907,853 articles on English Wikipedia. Which one are you concerned about?

Go ahead give me one

I haven't necessarily joined all of these, but do participate or have participated in the following projects:

  • NFL : The kind of project that REALLY makes you wonder why you began to edit anyway...
  • NHL : another massive draft series undertaking I'm not sure why I took on!
  • Photography : More of a source of reference for me as an avid amateur photographer but rarely do I help it.
  • Florida : Of interest to me as my home state and I like to vacation in my backyard.
  • Tropical Cyclones : I deal with them all day every day, editing seems a COI.
  • Woodworking : I've read most if not all of this, cleaned up some of it.
  • Guitarists : I no longer play so at best I've assisted in luthier stubs cleanup.

"Where do I begin?"

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, that explains millions of things about the world, the people and things on it, and beyond. There are 2 ways to look things up in Wikipedia: by searching or by browsing...

There are some other "Tables of Contents" type pages on Wikipedia. They are:

Wikipedia also has an alphabetical index of all of its articles, and a categorical index of most of them.
