[edit] Who I Am
Wtbe7560 is a former political writer, music afficianado, and poker player from Cleveland, Ohio. I randomly wander about Wikipedia, looking things up and then contributing my cleanup efforts wherever possible.
My writing career began at age 16, when a friend and I formed a Political Action Committee to oppose a township merger. I am a very prolific political writer but a horrible designer, so my friend would take my text and format it to catch the eye. We worked our way up the political ranks (as high as one can go in a one-horse township) to the point where we were regularly getting editorials published in the major newspapers. About 5 years ago I ran for mayor of my town, earning a whopping 38 votes (out of 20,000 voters). I ran more to make a statement than anything - I felt that the existing power structure had been (and mostly still is) grossly corrupted. After my mayoral bid tanked I took some time off from writing.
As a card player, I actively compete in tournament Texas Hold'em, playing as often as three nights a week at home games in my area. I have been playing cards for over five years now, starting out at a .05¢/.10¢/.25¢ dealer's choice game and working my way up to tournament poker.
[edit] Projects
I was tending to and expanding the pages on Blade: The Series until SpikeTV killed it. I created a bunch of supporting pages, such as:
and I also wrote the episode summaries from Episode 5 (Bloodlines) on. I heavily edited the existing first few pages as they were severely lacking in detail. I welcome constructive criticism, edits, notes, help, and if you're doing a Blade page drop me the link so I can check it out.
As part of WikiProject Poker I have also begun the slow process of cleaning up certain articles. I have recently created the page Razz about the game of razz poker.
