In the immediate future, especially the next few weeks, I should hopefully still be doing some light editing but editing levels will likely be subdued due to the aforementioned.

Editing Style, Areas of Expertise, Pet Projects, and Opinions

Over the course of my 15 years on Wikipedia I have been most knowledgeable about articles pertaining to baseball, hockey, parts of California (on occasion, Yosemite), and suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts, but I also often simply make incremental minor edits, cleanup, and copyedits, and in general gnoming. This has composed an increasingly greater part of my editing activities as of 2018, and about 90% of my editing as of 2022 [I joined the Guild of Copy Editors in, iirc, 2020]). I also enjoy patrolling WP:Random article and adding internal links, which I love, where useful and appropriate (though please be sure to let me know if I ever violate WP:Overlink). :) In addition, I can be spotted adding redirects here and there, especially state abbreviation redirects for places that do not yet have them (e.g., "Anytown, MA" for "Anytown, Massachusetts"). Remember this: Redirects are cheap. A recent gnoming project of mine has involved searching for initials and adding spaces between them, which is protocol on Wikipedia per Manual of Style: Initials. I also enjoy dashes (– and —) and will insert them where appropriate when they are a better choice than a hyphen (-). If I leave an edit summary that says "derp,” this means that I made a mistake in a previous edit, I realize and acknowledge the mistake, and I have fixed it.

Created articles and major contributions

Articles I have created include Yosemite Lodge at the Falls, 1996 Yosemite Valley landslide, 1997 Merced River flood, and Garey High School (not my alma mater). Articles to which I have contributed frequently include Wakefield, Massachusetts (my top-edited page), Marina del Rey, California, and in the past I have stewarded season pages for the Boston Red Sox, Anaheim Ducks, Boston Celtics, Kansas City Royals, San Diego Padres, Florida Panthers, New England Revolution, and Edmonton Oilers. Nowadays, I'm more likely to go around to the different season pages for sports teams at the end of the night and enter in whatever scores or statistics still need to be inputted.

Editing ware

From 2017–2023, I did nearly all of my editing by smartphone, using an iPhone 6S which was last running iOS 15.7.1. As of May 4, 2023, I am doing my smartphone editing using a new Product Red iPhone SE 3rd generation, which as of September 16, 2024, is running iOS 18.

Conclusion and contact information

If there is a field in which I edit an article and you have greater knowledge of the subject than I do, please do not hesitate to share that knowledge with me or to correct me using that knowledge in any way. My talk page is always open. Shoot me an email if you like at pmason15g@hotmail.com and/or pmason621@outlook.com. My Twitter handle (I will always call it Twitter) is @Calichusetts274. As the name implies, I am incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to live in both states, summering in Wakefield, Massachusetts (though I do not come from a snobbish wealthy family, I swear.) …But I digress! Lastly, if not most importantly, please do not let my username fool you into thinking I will refuse to talk with you if you are a Yankee fan. :)
