Bio[edit]

I'm just one of the thousands of geeks who are hooked on the joys of editing on Wikipedia. Somebody save me please! Although, it's cheaper than having a girlfriend...

This describes me:

Why I edit[edit]

I have been editing on Wikipedia for over ten years and have made my share of mistakes and continue to do so. There is layer upon layer of policy nowadays; I can't track it all. I write articles because I am sincerely interested in the topics. If I stand up for the ones I work on, it is in the spirit of being a contributor to Wikipedia. If you disagree with me, let's not make it personal or a question of guilt or innocence. If I disagree with you, I sincerely disagree, but I hope to always be open to good advice.

Articles I've created or contributed to:[edit]

I live in Toronto, so I edit about Toronto. Since I'm Canadian, my first interest was ice hockey. However, after too many disagreements, I left that project and don't edit hockey articles anymore. I am still very interested in contributing to film articles. I am working on improving citations of articles, cited names of sources, that sort of thing.

Articles

User:Alaney2k/Logos and jerseys of the Ottawa Senators (since 1992) - present in two articles, will clean up

On the back burner

User:Alaney2k/Honey Dew (soft drink) - where did this go?
Larry's Hideaway - hard to find material on this topic
User:Alaney2k/Ottawa Senators rivalries - be thorough
User:Alaney2k/Robinson's Musee Theatre - interesting hall/performance space/theatre in the 19th century of Toronto
User:Alaney2k/Special Investigations Unit Act

Minutia

improving citations, names of newspapers, quote characters
organizing and improving the articles on the various laws of Canada (see Canadian federal legislation category)
correcting publisher= usage in Template:citation inclusions - often should be work= or website=
correcting links to Toronto, that might be to York, or not include Canada
reducing duplicate wikilinks
fixing external links to refs

Was working on, but I think these are covered

processing all of the links to the Canadian page, which is a redirect, to either Canadians or Canada, or topical (e.g. Cinema of Canada) based on the original editors intent
