About me

[edit]

My username was formerly LiberalFascist.

Please feel free to contact me on my talk page, or by email. Note that I prefer to keep conversations public (i.e. on the talk page) when possible.

I live in the Dallas, Texas area. I'm a computer programmer, server technician and general internet junkie (been online since the early 1990s).

I've used Wikipedia extensively over the years, and now I'm trying to give back to the community and improve the resource I've enjoyed so much.

Citation templates

[edit]

This is a quick copy/paste reference for the 4 citation templates I use most often.

For a quick guide to using inline citations see /citations and Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners.

These are bios that have no sources, and I think I could find them
These had sources when I checked, but need more
