I'm '''Realkyhick,''' short for "Real [[Kentucky]] hick," a nickname someone hung on me in my current home of [[Birmingham, Alabama]]. I'm a [[sportswriter|sports editor]] for a suburban newspaper near [[Birmingham, Alabama]]. I work with [[Assemblies of God]] [[Bible Quiz]], among many other things. |
|||
Around Birmingham I'm sometimes known as "The Loudest Man in High School Sports" because of my work with various private [[Christian]] schools as a public address announcer for their football, basketball and other sports games, primarily for the now-closed [[Garywood Christian School]]. |
|||
On [[Labor Day]] [[2007]] I founded the [[WP:ICU|Wikipedia Intensive Care Unit]]. It's a place to "heal" articles about subjects that are probably [[WP:N|notable]], but the article themselves face imminent deletion for other reasons. The project has since become inactive and tagged as "historical." |
|||
I spend much time on new-page patrol, where I've tagged for speedy-deletion a seemingly infinite number of articles about just-formed garage bands. I guess you could call me a confirmed [[deletionist]]. I recently removed a part of the article [[Hoover High School (Alabama)]] about a non-notable alumnus (actually he did not attend the school, but played for a [[lacrosse]] club associated with the school), even though it had a reference — for an article that '''I wrote!''' Pretty sad, I suppose. |
|||
I'll decorate this page with more stuff when I get a chance. |
|||
==Words to live by at Wikipedia== |
|||
"The best-written article in the world won't make a non-notable subject notable." |
|||
==Neat tools== |
|||
This page has a lot of neat table formating and template helps: [[User:Pdfpdf/Tools and referencs]]. (I added this as much for myself as for anyone else.) |
