Declaration of Possible COI[edit]

I myself am a financial supporter to the Center for Inquiry (CFI), an organization that holds many religious, paranormal, and supernatural beliefs to high scrutiny.

I am an operating of a Public Access Linux Server, which is part of the tildeverse, and creating that article.

Intro[edit]

I am an editor from Western New York, and am looking to improve and create articles relating to the area. Any article about something located West of Rochester, let me know. I can get pictures, audio, etc. and have a wealth of resources related to the area.

Also, paranormal related articles, if there is a roadblock in finishing, cleaning, references, etc. Drop me a line on my talk page. I'll get to work writing them.

I'm a paranormal investigator, who maintains an air of skepticism. A good example of an article I cleaned up was Goodleburg Cemetery. It was a mess until I got in there and cleaned it up, putting it more in an NPOV light.
