Happy Pride!


Edits I make were made in good faith.

Sandbox

Most edits will be on pages related to the Chicagoland area, particularly Metra commuter rail, but I may make an exception elsewhere for a noticeable typo or vandalism.

I achieved 1,000 edits on 10 (local)/11 (UTC) April, 2023. Hotdog with ketchup (talk) 02:27, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Created BSicons

[edit]

This list has two purposes. First, it shows which BSicons I have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons (because I am a bit proud of myself for figuring it out) and where they can be found (if I remember). Second, you will know who to blame if I uploaded anything incorrectly.

Completed projects

[edit]

The first "major" project I completed was a Route diagram template for Metra, which can be found on Metra's main page. I have also helped to recolor all of the individual Metra line diagrams, the South Shore Line diagram, the main Metrolink diagram, and certain statewide passenger rail diagrams, with special attention paid to Illinois' diagram.

With the first RDT, I believe I was in over my head because I had no idea how to make the map, but I was tired of looking at the outdated SVG image provided. Also, most of the other major commuter rail systems (LIRR, Metro-North, SEPTA, NJ Transit, GO Transit, Metrolink, etc.) have good templates. So should Metra.

Many thanks to users like Useddenim and VanIsaac for editing, guiding, and making new icons when they did not yet exist in the right color. They helped make it feel easier and I hope to tackle more BSicon projects soon.

To-do List

[edit]

• Update all Metra station pages (and Hegewisch) with consistent and useful information, and maybe include a trivium or two for each station, if possible and well-received.

•Eventually create station layout descriptions like those shown on CTA station pages.

• Stay out of trouble and own up to mistakes.

Barn

[edit]

I never thought I would be raising a barn, but I am certainly not complaining!
