I'm a casual Wiki user living in the Chicagoland area. Most editing I do is either just be cleanups of spelling/grammar/etc, thwacking vandals, or working with articles regarding the mass transit systems in my area, such as the Metra and Chicago 'L'.

Noticable contributions:

  • The Metra Line Index template, which is now a misnomer as its a Chicagoland Commuter Rail index box.
  • The Metra line and NICTD line infobox templates for placing on pages about Metra/NICTD stations, along with the respective header templates for if the station is Metra only, NICTD only, or both. Superceded by the global s-line and s-rail templates.
  • Various stub pages for stations on the CTA's Purple Line, and Red Line. More to be done as I get bored at work.
  • Entry on the 1977 Chicago Loop derailment

To be done:

  • Create stub pages for every CTA and Metra station (and I guess the red-headed stepchild that is NICTD too).
  • Actually put content for the stations I know about or can get info for.
  • Take my camera and get good station shots beforeafter it startsstops snowing.
