Hello, my name is Engineerchange.

Some fun stats here: Statistics

Wikipedia

Generally, I contribute on pages where I find obvious errors or inconsistencies. I mainly contribute by adding redirects, fixing typos and grammar, and correcting citations.

(2023 update) The last couple years, I've started to step into writing articles on local and state politicians (mostly MD, DC, and VA), but sometimes ones throughout the country. I've also done some work with federal politicians/civil servants, manufacturing and business tycoons, Women in Red, and miscellaneous notable people I find that aren't wiki'd yet. I still find myself "new here", so please don't hesitate to provide some constructive feedback on my page. I still make mistakes all the time.

As an aside, I believe in the redlink to show where Wikipedia needs to grow and use it from time to time when I see someone/something that I think would meet WP:NOTABILITY.

Comments

I will state that I am fallible, like all, so please don't hesitate to reach out on my talk page if you have any constructive feedback or areas you think require my attention.
