Hello, readers. I am a resident of Springfield Township, Summit County, Ohio. I graduated from Springfield High

School in 2002, and am currently a student at the University of Akron. I have one brother, Josh, who is also a Wikipedia editor: User:JoshMcCracken. I'm also on Wikibooks. While you're here, take a look at my portal.

What I do here

I spend a lot of time helping with impasses-

the Mediation Cabal
.

I also comment frequently in

WP:HOTTIE). In that vein, I love doing this
.

You might find me at

.

Of course, I also do editing. I've tried to do some maintenance as well as

be bold
and make the article better.

I support the right to edit by IP address. See

Wikipedia:Editors should be logged in users
.

Oh yeah, and I'm briefly mentioned at

WP:LAME#Hogenakkal_Falls
. It was I who brought the map. Hey, I was just trying to help at an RfC! Actually, using a map constitutes an OR, but I was hoping to show that it was close enough to be indistinguishable- a print map would be the same way. Maybe "...on or near the border of..."

ContribsTab

I've made one technical contribution to wikipedia, ContribsTab. It's a user script; check it out.

What I'm proud of

I caught vandalism which ensured the survival of

Kingdom of Humanity through its deletion discussion. It was IP vandalized; the IP then nominated it for deletion. The Kingdom is is in the area of China; after some digging, I found that a blocked user with an anti-China bias was making the mess. I exposed this, and the article stayed. A couple of people voted without looking for the pre-IP-vandalized version; always check these things! I was credited with "diligence", for which I'm flattered, and got some great help from some users. Later on, I grabbed some print sources and merged it into a beefed-up Republic of Morac-Songhrati-Meads
.

WP:EAR
; I said it was a content dispute and not a single problem editor. After an article lockdown and discussion, a compromise edit was reached, and nobody got blocked. The power of compromise.

Uncredited articles

I've taken too long a few times and didn't get credit for an article I wrote. So, here they are:

My start on Wikipedia

I've tracked down my very first edits as two IPs:

If I'm remembering right, my very first edit was to create the

OR
, and I'd mixed up some as well.

April Fools

2008

I launched a prank that got reverted in less than half an hour. Does nobody have a sense of humor? Anyway, here is what I did:

Internet: [1] Wikipedia: [2]
YouTube: [3] Facebook: [4]
MySpace: [5]
Yahoo: [6]
Google: [7] Talk:Internet: [8]

This wasn't up long enough to get any responses. Yes, there's a

rickroll
thrown in there.

Oh yeah- check out this other one that I put my two cents into.

2009

A little bit simpler this year; kept it in the talk space:

A few fictional characters appeared on Wikipedia:

(Thanks to user:Dp76764 for cleaning up my mess, but don't worry, I'd have gotten them in about a half hour!)

Pointless trivia

According to

User:Willy on Wheels
. That blew my mind.
