Hi! I'm Dave, but you probably guessed that. I've been involved with Wikipedia since early 2006. Still don't completely know what I'm doing here, but then who does. I'm originally from four corners.

Mountain Meadows Massacre Unfortunately this article is a war zone and probably will be forever. However, it's a piece of history worth studying.

  • Nerd

Race Condition Actually I haven't made many lasting contributions to this article. I deal with race conditions a lot in my line of work. I don't agree with this article 100%, but others don't agree with my views and much of my contributions have been reverted. =-) Ironically, the article is since starting to look like my original proposal from subsequent contributions by other editors, I may be vindicated yet). =-)

Wow, I still consider myself a newbie, but I guess somebody liked one of my articles. Does this mean I'm no longer a newbie?
