Greetings, I'm RyRy, a Wikipedian of the English Wikipedia. I'm always glad to help other editors, so don't hesitate to ask on my talk page if you need my assistance. I'm contributer to Wikipedia because I believe we can make positive changes to the world, spreading the gift of free knowledge to our readers. I believe we can improve the quality of Wikipedia and encourage more and more people to help in our collaborative attempt to help spread the knowledge to others working together as a community here at Wikipedia, the freeencyclopedia that anyone can edit.
Generally, I'm active and online a few times a day on Wikipedia, unless I'm on a wikibreak. I'm an overall nice person, but if I do become uncivil or if I lose my cool, I'm always available to be slapped with a trout or whenever appropriate.
I have a few main areas here on Wikipedia. I write mostly baseball-related topics since I do enjoy the history of baseball and baseball players very much. I contribute and am a member for WikiProject Baseball. In particular, I contribute to the Boston Red Sox WikiProject since I'm a Boston Red Sox fan. Click here to view all the articles I have created. One of my main areas are WP:DYK. In that area, I review suggested hooks and move verified suggested hooks to the preparation area so they can appear on the Main page. Most of the articles I've created or expanded are DYKs and have appeared in the "Did you know..." section on the Main page. You can visit this link to view my DYK hooks. I sometimes new page patrol, mostly tagging WP:CSDs, or simply just improving those new articles, ect. I revertvandalism quite a lot at times and report vandals or spammers that need to be blocked at WP:AIV, and try to make the appropriate actions there. Not only do I report vandals and spammers to AIV, I also clerk (commenting and removing insufficiently reported users) at AIV. I have account creators right and I sometimes create account requests. I'm also a rollbacker, so I can easily and quickly revert vandalism using the rollback tool. I vote at WP:AFD on occasions and I usually make non-administrative closures to close debates myself. I do a lot of copyediting and wikifying on pretty much any article as well. I sometimes volunteer at the help desk and on rare occasions, the {{helpme}} page. On occasions, I comment at WP:AN and WP:ANI whenever possible.
So anyway, if you need my assistance or if you would just like to talk to me (I hope it's not something myspacey...), the best place to do that would be contacting me on my talk page or by e-mailing me.
I take great pleasure in helping other users in need of help, and I enjoy designing other Wiki pages. So if you want me to lend you a hand with your own user page, just give me a call and I'll see what I can do. Results not guaranteed! It will typically take me a few days to fulfill your request, but it should look good by then. Just be sure that there is a decent amount of text on your page and also be sure that you explain what you want your page to be like in details. Just ask on my talk page to redesign your user page or any different page.

You can get in touch with me through a number of different methods. My talk page is available to take messages, but please feel free to use e-mail for sensitive issues.
Alternatively, you can find me on IRC under the nickname RyanCross or RyRy in most major Wikipedia channels; feel free to drop a /msg.
I'm probably one of the nicest editors there is around, and I do like to help people, but please don't harass or provoke me. I won't retalliate, I'll merely revert. That being said, feel free to ask me any questions you have, just be civil, and don't personally attack other editors.

"The Day Before the Revolution" is a science fiction short story by American writer Ursula K. Le Guin(pictured). First published in Galaxy in August 1974, it was republished in Le Guin's The Wind's Twelve Quarters (1975). Set in her fictional Hainish universe, the story has strong connections to her novel The Dispossessed (also 1974), and is sometimes referred to as a prologue to the novel. The story follows Odo, an aging anarchist, who over the course of a day relives memories of her life as an activist as she learns of plans for a general strike the next day. The strike is implied to be the start of the revolt leading to the idealized anarchist society based on Odo's teachings depicted in the novel. The story was critically well-received. It won the Nebula and Locus Awards for Best Short Story in 1975, and was also nominated for a Hugo Award. Multiple scholars commented that it represented a shift in Le Guin's writing toward non-linear narrative structures and works infused with feminism. (Full article...)
