| Other Wikis... I have the ID "Lar" on many other places. See ] for details on many of them. (Note: Since that matrix has links to all of my accounts, and since I link to it from here, and since only I edit it, it fulfills the requirement for a "link to my account on wiki X" for any wiki X that I have listed there, by transitive closure, for any page of mine that links to it on any wiki. This reduces the N squared problem to 2N) | |||

| ====Thought Provoking Essays and Neat Links==== | |||
| {{User WikiProject The Beatles 2}} | |||
| *] CatherineMunro is an old hand. Her essay on what participation means to her is thought provoking and very well written. There's something in it for just about every conscientious editor. | |||
| {{Template:WikiProject Bridges Member}} | |||
| *] Geogre and I seem to be on the opposite side of just about everything we've both been involved in. But this is good stuff. The ] dealing with how one should vote in AfDs is really well put, and the musings on article quality and why no article is better than an inadequate article seem very apt. I need to remember to reread these every so often. | |||
| {{Template:User WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America 2}} | |||
| *] | |||
| {{Template:MichiganWikiProject-Member}} | |||
| *] Not sure anyone could be that neutral but worth striving for! | |||
| {{Template:WikiProject Council member}} | |||
| *] also thought provoking! Don't whinge, fix it yourself (something I could do to remember more often) | |||
| *] | |||
| *] a bit more "cynical" but pragmatic view of how stuff gets done... | |||
| *] this is a counterpoint to the stance I've been taking that experts should be shown deference or at least given the benefit of the doubt by default. | |||
| *] Just an enjoyable read. Lots of little tidbits on how to be a better Wikipedian and interesting background facts about stuff he's worked on. I hope if I ever get as prolific as he is, that this page is half as good. | |||
| *] "For any article you vote to delete, vote one to keep, or improve one which is on the border of being thrown in the bin." | |||
| *] Some fascinating analysis of number of edits/articles/sizes/growths and the correlations among them... not sure what it all means but it seems significant. | |||
| Note: I'm not very active in any of these and will not be upset if my name is moved to the inactive list or removed. | |||
| More as I find them. but I'm lazy, so feel free to suggest some! | |||

Roles:
Let me know if you have any questions or issues with any of these roles or wikis, and I'll do what I can to help. Other things:
 OR... You can help with Misplaced Pages's most pressing problem:
Outside interestsAvocations
In Real LifeProfessionally I am a System architect / Data engineer /DataStage developer, working on data and application integration projects and (until COVID) I traveled for work a lot (most of the states and countries below are due to work related travel). I live in Michigan with my wife. BeliefsI believe in WP:NPOV so these beliefs are listed so you know how I feel about stuff and (VERY IMPORTANT) you should call me on any editing that looks like I'm POV pushing!!!! Seriously. Please do if you see it. Mostly I edit technical stuff so hopefully it's not that big an issue, but if you see it, call me on it.
Misplaced PagesI'm a Misplaced Pages
Some comments:
Other Wikis... I have the ID "Lar" on many other places. See my WikiMatrix for details on many of them. (Note: Since that matrix has links to all of my accounts, and since I link to it from here, and since only I edit it, it fulfills the requirement for a "link to my account on wiki X" for any wiki X that I have listed there, by transitive closure, for any page of mine that links to it on any wiki. This reduces the N squared problem to 2N) Projects
Note: I'm not very active in any of these and will not be upset if my name is moved to the inactive list or removed. VandalismsMisc items
