Other facts
I spent a good chunk of my childhood in
I briefly worked for the United States Patent and Trademark Office as a patent examiner in 2008, which turned out to be a disaster for me. I've returned to Kentucky to try to "rebuild" my life... and I did succeed in one major task, passing the USPTO registration examination. However, I am NOT registered yet.

Articles I've worked on
Too many to count! The last time I looked, I'd made at least one edit to over 11,000 articles. Granted, most of those edits were minor fixes (spelling, grammar, typos), adding categories, and the like.

NBA Team Categories
Hey there! Thanks for adding the Royals team category and putting a few players in there. I did some adjustments with the Warriors and Lakers, giving them distinct Philadelphia/San Francisco and Minneapolis categories, so I'm grateful I don't have to do the Royals adjustment alone. ;)

Masters
I contacted Ivan Maisel in the Spring regarding the proper way to render the name of golf's first major, and he said that ESPN's style editors had been told that the first reference to the event should be "Masters Tournament," and not "The Masters." I see you just changed it so I thought I'd let you know that.
