User:YellowAries2010

Hello. I am YellowAries2010. I live in my native Western USA. I have also lived in New England, the South, and the Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. I modify a wide variety of articles, usually just attempting to delete errors in spelling, syntax, grammar, punctuation and the like.

I follow soccer and gymnastics. This includes college, pro, and otherwise. I also have a renewed interest in motorsports, mainly IndyCar, NASCAR Cup Series and IMSA SportsCar Championship. However, my edits, which can be seen here, reflect a wide and random array of subject matter. My main broad editing interests include, but are not limited to, sports, news, and music.

More will be added as needed, especially as my knowledge of formatting increases.

This is the page for the user formerly known as YellowAries. I neglected to provide an email address for that page, and was eventually locked out by accident. I would delete that page if I knew how.

Tip of the day...

List building

There are three basic steps to building a topic list for Wikipedia: the first is to search Wikipedia to make sure it doesn't already have a list on the subject. The second step is to hunt down every word you can find on the subject, from your own memory, books, web directories, dictionaries, etc. Surround each term with double square brackets, and save the page.

Because Wikipedia has become so extensive, don't be surprised if most or even all of the links turn out blue (those are live links, each leading to an article on Wikipedia). Dead-end links are red, but don't remove them, because they show what articles Wikipedia is missing — anyone can click on a red link to create an article on that topic. The third step is checking each live article in the list for links to related topics. When you find one, add it to the list.
