I was born and raised in Diamond Bar, CA. I graduated from UCLA in 2003 with a degree in Mathematics/Economics. Right now, I work as a paralegal in a law firm in Century City, CA specializing in class action litigation.

Personal

Personally, I see the Wikipedia are more of a great organizational source than really a informational source. You can find most of this information anywhere, but there's few places where all this stuff is connected. (See Six degrees of separation, Wikipedia style).

Firefox extension

For people using the Mozilla Firefox browser, there's a great Wikipedia extension available here.

Parody

Similar to how Nirvana felt that they had "made it" after Weird Al recorded "Smells Like Nirvana" (parodying "Smells Like Teen Spirit"), I believe the Wikipedia has made it when The Onion satirizes it. Interestingly enough, The Onion's satire involves "Weird Al" too.

Wiki work

You can see all my contributions here. Most of the contributions are minor, as it's mostly correcting links. Judging by the fact that most of the things I'm listing here are stubs really, my standards are still quite low for mention. As a aside, when I'm creating articles (or am basically the second person looking at an article), I make breaks after each sentence to made it easier to review edits.

Created

I've created the following pages:

Law School Admissions Council, Bagdad (movie), Shock (movie), Vincenzo Viviani, Antonio da Sangallo disambiguation page, Governors of Mississippi Winthorp Sargent and John J. Pettus, The Matrix characters Dozer, Seraph and Rama-Kandra.

Haven't really created a lot.

Major editing

• Reorganized Jesse Pomeroy into chronological order.
• Improved Boys Don't Cry (band) from substub to a mere stub.
• Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg - serious clean-up and reorganization, but needs someone there to put stuff in proper context.
• For some strange reason, I ended up wikifying lots of Dubuque, Iowa.
• After finding his Congressional Bio, I added a lot to John Rea (politician).
• I completely reorganized and split Chinese Rites controversy into sections, but it's still a mess.
• Corrected a bunch of ships at Ship naming and launching & for History of the United States Navy.
• Improved Pokerwork from a substub to a mere stub.
• Corrected number of links at Classics of political philosophy.
• Cleaned-up Ratan Tata
• Cleaned-up a bit of the B-movie Scarecrow Gone Wild.
• Lately, I've been keeping watch on a number of articles regarding RuneScape: places, skills, quests, runes, and its general economy.

Minor work

• List_of_The_Simpsons_episodes - wikifying dates.
• Followed that up by wikifying dates on the List_of_South_Park_episodes page.
• Timisoara - another date wikification attempt.
• Antipope - wikified dates and then the links for the locations of the modern "antipopes."
• U.S. Capitol shooting incident (1954) - added info about President Carter's pardon.

• Wikified plenty of dates and added to the table for the USS Raleigh (CL-7), USS Omaha (CL-4), USS Maddox (DD-731)
• Wikified plenty of dates (and add some too) for the List of Italians.

Disambiguation pages

I've cleaned up the links to a few disambiguation links too, which you can't tell by going there. Hopefully:

Baldwin I, Bagdad, Alexander I, Alexander II, William Gibson, Mercury (one of the worst), Republican, Republican Party Democrat, Democratic Party (just in case someone thinks I'm playing favorites), matrix, James Baldwin, Richard Hamilton, OCR, Galileo (mostly to Galileo Galilei), CA, USS Missouri (mostly to the famed USS Missouri (BB-63)), USS Alabama, almost all of The Republic now goes to Plato's The Republic, Bill O'Reilly, Eddie Jones, Lord Kitchener, Jethro Tull, took the singer out from Ashanti, Sarah Connor, Perfect Strangers, Arrested Development, and the following Matrix character links: Morpheus, The Kid, Neo, Trinity, The Oracle, Ghost.
