Things I've learned at Wikiquote

• Use "page preview" before saving an edit.
• Use the "thank" feature often.
• Check an article's history before proposing it for deletion.
• Look for a plausible redirect in lieu of deletion.
• Check new articles for copyright violations.

Wit and wisdom seen about town, good enough to share

• The problem with Wikiquote is that it only works in practice. In theory, it can never work.[1]
• I used to have a dream that my computer would be as easy to use as my phone. And my dream came true. Now I don't understand my phone either.
• The bad news is, the guy who bullied you in school is still taking your lunch money. The good news is, he makes a pretty good Subway sandwich.
• Age improves with wine.

About me

I am a native New Yorker (5th generation no less). I grew up in Babylon, New York, and now live in New York City. I attended Hendricks Institute of Technology. I have also lived in Los Angeles, and Honolulu.

On Wikipedia I mainly work on articles related to New York, particularly things having to do with New York history and New York neighborhoods. I also clean up or proofread articles that I come across.

I've been hanging around Wikiquote and Wikipedia off and on since 2006.
