COI declarations

IMPORTANT!!!! Due to me knowing these people outside of Wikipedia, I’m declaring the following COIs. Despite me editing these pages in the past, I will leave these pages alone, other than reverts for vandalism. My exact relationships with these people are listed in the Fun facts about me section of this page. An assistant coach for Southeast Missouri State Redhawks football was a high school coach of mine, Ricky Coon who does not qualify for an article yet but I will not make any edits related to him. These are the only COI’s I’m aware of, if I discover someone else I personally know outside of Wikipedia has a page, I will immediately declare them here. Skinny Hightower attended my high school at the same time I did and graduated the same year as a sibling of mine, but I have no recollection of him at my high school.

A little about me

I was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas, but currently live in an unincorporated part of Pima County, Arizona just outside of Tucson. I have professional experience in multiple industries. I also contribute to a small sports blog, HOWEVER I am not here to promote it and I do not get paid to edit Wikipedia for them and the website wouldn't pass GNG. I typically will edit after work or on my days off. I attended high school at Wichita South High School in Wichita, Kansas, where I played football, I wrestled, and threw discus on the track team. After high school I had a football scholarship to Hutchinson Community College were I played for one season. I also have briefly attended Cowley Community College. I will be attending Pima Community College beginning in August. I briefly played semi-pro football for a small level team based in my hometown. I’m a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, Cincinnati Bengals, Kansas Jayhawks, and the Los Angeles Lakers. I also like watching the UFC, my favorite current fighter is Cain Velasquez, I’ve also recently gotten partial to Derrick Lewis and Francis Ngannou.

Fun facts about me

  • I was a high school wrestling teammate of current UFC fighter Tim Elliott
  • My uncle is former NFL player Tony Barker
  • I briefly trained in mixed martial arts learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under the instruction of 2nd (now 3rd) degree blackbelt Marcio LaSelva, the highest ranking BJJ practitioner in Kansas, as well as two other black belts in the martial art. I also learned Kickboxing under the instruction of former ISKA world champion kickboxer and retired professional mixed martial artist Marcio Navarro.
  • I have met Papa John's founder John Schnatter, Pro Football Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez, former Chiefs fullback Anthony Sherman, former Chiefs kick returner Tamarick Vanover, rapper Bow Wow, former T-Mobile CEO John Legere, current T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert (COO when I met him), and basketball player Oumar Ballo.
  • My 10x-great-grandfather was a passenger on the Mayflower.
  • I’m married to a distant relative of Israel Bissell.
  • I'm one of millions of Americans and one of a little under 2 million residents of Arizona who have contracted COVID-19. Tested positive January of 2022 and had a mild case.
  • One of my high school football coaches, Ricky Coon, is an assistant coach for Southeast Missouri State.

Wikipedia info

Obviously, by my username I'm a Kansas Jayhawks fan. That's an area of expertise of mine, along with the Chiefs and Bengals. I will occasionally update bio's of musicians and actors I'm a fan of (Eminem T-Pain Daughtry Tech N9ne). Sometimes when I'm mindlessly browsing Wikipedia with no intention to edit, I'll stumble across things that need fixed and I'll go ahead and edit them (primarily grammatical errors, WP:SURNAME violations, or fixing inconsistent dating style on an article). Additionally, I do most of my editing during the NFL offseason just because there’s more to edit during the offseason. I’ll also keep an eye on a player’s page that is involved in a trade, contract, or retirement rumor to ensure it’s not edited before an actual announcement. Blank tables and sections drive me nuts, especially when someone adds the “empty section” tag to it. When I’m involved in a discussion, sometimes I’ll continue to edit before responding to comments in the discussion. If you see a random movie, TV show, or an episode of a TV show, chances are I probably just watched it. I despise the usage of "notes" as a section in a table. I also keep track of my High School's page, which I expanded under an IP address, but kept track of it and made edits under multiple IP addresses and this username. I support the WP essay WP:CITEKILL because I do not believe in needing more then 1 source for a statement unless its a statement like "considered by many to be.........". I also will, occasionally just to do something different, will participate in AFD debates. I despise the use of endashes (–) in place of commas. I have had pending changes reviewer permissions since April 14, 2017, which I rarely use. When I get free time I will check pending changes queue and clear it out. I have only ever been subject to disciplinary action once and that was a Zero revert rule for 72 hours for a 3 revert rule violation which I regret not fighting because I feel like I did nothing wrong I was I was battling the same person over two IP addresses so it seemed as a 3RR violation when in reality it wasn’t.

Regarding interest in being an admin, I’m unsure. I feel like I have the experience, but I’m not knowledgeable enough in policies to become one. I also need to get better at not taking edit disputes so personally. I'm working on this and have gotten better, but there is still a lot of work to do on this before I can even consider adminship.

I have made edits under multiple IPs prior to creating this account. I also previously used the account Titanfbplayer71 which I haven’t used since 2011 and don’t plan to use to avoid being accused of being sock puppet.

The drawback to editing NFL related pages, is when your team releases one of your favorite players and you have to make the edit to make them a free agent, as I did in these edits:

Articles Created

To date I have created 37 articles, 9 templates, and 2 lists. They are listed in order of creation. To date I’ve only ever had one article deleted, and that was under my original account and it was for a local rapper from my hometown which was deleted under WP:A7 and that was all the way back in 2008 when it was deleted, though I think I created it in like 2006/2007.

Most proud of

The article I’m the most proud of is Pooka Williams Jr., a former running back for my favorite college team, the Kansas Jayhawks. I’m responsible for the overwhelming majority of this article (I’m in no way indicating ownership of the article). I am most proud of this because of the way it’s written and how well it is cited. Every major piece of information in the article is cited and it is well put together layout wise. With this being said, I am open to improvements. I hope this article can turn into one seen by a substantial amount of people if and when he makes it to the NFL. I’m considering putting more work into the article and work on promoted it good article status because of how much work I’ve put into it. Though I’ll probably wait until he plays at least a season so I can expand the article a little more.

Time Zone

I live in Arizona which is officially in the American Mountain Time Zone, however Arizona does not observe daylight savings time. So from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, I am UTC-7 (22:00 UTC = 3 pm, pacific time basically), but the rest of the year I am UTC-6 (22:00 UTC = 4 PM, actual mountain time)
