Music I like
I've been editing Wikipedia since 23 February 2004. I have been averaging 300-700 edits per week, but that number will drop considerably June 2, 2004, when I start working at a new contract job. Update: As of the end of December 2004, I'm unemployed again--great for my Wikipedia editing and everything else, except my bank account. :/ I made my 15,000th edit 17:04, 7 Feb 2005.
I initially did Recent Changes patrol, but since then have mostly done New Pages patrol, and occasionally Random page patrol. Being an introvert IRL, the pattern continues here--I rarely leave "welcome" messages.

Notability
User:Niteowlneils/2500 Augustine wheelchair ramp is factual, verifiable, and NPOV, meeting the guidelines stated by Jimmy Wales at Wikipedia_talk:Fame_and_importance#No. Still, should it be in the main article space? I'd say no.

Tutorial
My "sandbox" copies of articles I'm thinking of suggesting adding to the tutorial:
- a shorter glossary (altho' I think an even shorter one might be better for the basic tutorial, or maybe divide it between fairly simple concepts (EG page, stub), and more complex ones (EG Infobox, Transwiki)--I'm still working on this suggestion.
- I got it down to 10 entries, and added a link to it from the wrap-up page of the Tutorial on 4/29/04
- a page about registration (I think this one's pretty much done--my current inclination would be to put it before the page listing other tutorials (currently page 7)).
- I added it to the flow 4/28/04 Niteowlneils 22:09, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Guide
My "sandbox" copies of articles I'm thinking of adding to a new Advanced tutorial, the goal of which I see being giving people that have mastered the basics covered in the tutorial, guidance in writing good Wikipedia-style articles, some info on key backend processes/areas, any shortcuts they can use, and ideas about various ways they can contribute.
