Good morning! I am a degreed journalist with three decades of experience. I have minors in math, poly sci, English and general science. In addition I have an extensive back ground in the Christian religion, have taking technical courses, courses in fire fighting and police science and for eight years took classes (without credit) in agriculture and land/water management. I can read well out loud but have trouble absorbing, however; anything I have ever been told that I felt was significant, I can recall -- that includes numbers, laws, reasons etc. I was rendered disabled by a medical doctor and now have extra time on my hands. I love to write, am working on a book, become inspired to write a poem every year or so and would like to be a regular contributor to your fine project. I am a genealogist and have side of my family traced back to 1726. My aim is the truth and perfection so I welcome those who would edit my work for that improves me. It is my belief that one should be either learning or teaching most of one's life in order to make it worthwhile. Could I be of help in your operation? Sincerely,
Tim R. Matas 104 S. Buckeye Abilene, an. 67410 785-263-0415 Evenings are the best time to call church@classicnet.net

Welcome. The three decades of journalistic experience should give you the thick skin needed for copng with hostile edits. You probably know the hot-button items that are best avoided. Genealogy tends to be a discouraged pursuit, since it tends to produce lists of people that are of interest only to limited audiences. but general contributions about how it's done are worthwhile. There is much in what you say that can produce valuable articles, so as a final piece of advice I would say, "Just pitch in, and do it."

No need to ask, but thanks for introducing yourself!
Everyone is allowed to edit any Wikipedia article, even without an account. If you decide to establish an account (rather than edit anonymously), feel free to mention your account name on the list, so we know who you are. A common idea here is that no article is ever "finished", so you can begin editing wherever you like. If you're looking to begin a new article, try checking out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles
once the site is usable again.
Looking forward to seeing your contributions.
