Wikipedia
My first contribution to Wikipedia was on October 16, 2002. Since then I occasionally contribute to different articles and have recently been more active on the website. My goal is to help add facts to obscure geographical and professional sports-related entries. I also like cleaning articles that lack citations, have grammatical errors, or violate the Wikiepdia submission guidelines. In the future I plan on uploading self-made photographs and including them on picture-less articles.
Major Contributions
- MC Ren - Former member of gangsta rap all-star group N.W.A and solo artist in his own right, Ren's unique unapologetic and brash lyrical wordplay have largely been overshadowed by his peers Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, and Ice Cube.
- Inland Empire, Beaumont has the distinct reputation of housing a plethora of antique stores
- LeRon Ellis - One of the best basketball players to come out of Orange County, California, LeRon went on to become a standout player with the University of Kentucky but was reduced to obscurity after becoming part of the LA Clippers' string of failed NBA draft picks
Minor Contributions
- Anaheim, California: Notable natives and residents - Probably Orange County's most notable city, Anaheim is responsible for producing the founders of Carl's Jr., the inventor of the boysenberry, rock group No Doubt, and the voice behind "Two of Hearts".
- Irvine, California: Notable natives and residents - The master-planned community of Irvine was once the unlikely home of Rage Against the Machine's Zack de la Rochaand has now grown to house many more familiar names in popular culture
- 100 Miles and Runnin' - Although not a quality recording, this EP release by N.W.A would be historic for solidifying the short-lived N.W.A versus Ice Cube rivalry -- stated most promintently on the self-titled track: "We started with five but yo, one couldn't make it / so now it's four 'cause the fifth couldn't take it"
