I was born in Mobile, Alabama and lived my entire life (so far) in various suburban and rural areas east of Mobile in Baldwin County. I attended Loxley Elementary School, Loxley Junior High and Robertsdale High School, graduating in 1988 with an Advanced Diploma. I attended the University of South Alabama in Mobile, and graduated in 1992 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with concentrations in graphic design and marketing. After a year working as a restaurant manager, I was hired by the Mobile Press-Register newspaper as a graphic designer. In 1995 I married Darla R. Lee of Semmes, Alabama. I spent twenty years with the Press-Register designing newspaper and direct mailadvertising and acting as a liaison between technical support, software vendors and our in-house design staff. During that time, I also freelanced for a range of clients, including furniture stores, churches and an adult film distribution company. When Advance Publications reorganized their Alabama publishing arm as Alabama Media Group in 2012, I was asked to stay on as a marketing and web advertising designer. In 2013, I left to become a full time stay-at-home parent to my son, who was born in August of that year.
As of 3 March, 2020 I’ve been a Wikipedia editor for 15 years.
You can help improve the articles listed below! This list updates frequently, so check back here for more tasks to try. (See Wikipedia:Maintenance or the Task Center for further information.)
Let us say you have thought of a new category you want to place some articles in. To create this new category, go to one of the pages that you wish to put there, and add a category tag naming the new category to the end of the article, like this:
[[Category:Category name]]
...where in place of category name you type the actual name of the category. When you save the page, the category should appear on the bottom line of the page. If it is indeed a new category, it will turn up in red. But this does not mean there is no such category: it might exist but with a slight difference in naming. Before you create a new category, make sure it does not already exist. In a new browser window, click on Special pages in the toolbox menu on the left side of your screen. Then click on All pages. Pick Category from the Namespace dropdown menu, and then enter the name of the category. Look over the index for synonymous categories.
Once you are sure your new name is good to go: Click on the redlink, and then click on the article creation link provided in the instructions that appear on your screen.
You will need to put a parent category on the new page, and then save the page. Going forward you can put your newly named category at the bottom of pages that you wish to add your new category to. Categories with too few pages in them are usually nominated for deletion.
In the table below, each color code listed is a shorthand for the RGB value; for example, code 609 is equivalent to RGB code 102-0-153 or HEX code #660099.
