Current Wikistress (Borrowed from Lucky)

Hi! Not so new here anymore. ;) I think I'm figuring this stuff out; the Be bold directive is most useful. Anyway, my name is Andrew (or Andy for those whom have earned the right ... right, yeah, whatever), and thus far, I've made entries relevant to the two places I've spent most of my life in - Washington, DC, and the Charlotte area of North Carolina. Specifically, I've done 95% of the work on the Washington Metro and its stations.

I'm also heavily involved in United States Congressional delegations, because ... I dunno. Tables are pretty. (See US Congressional Delegations from California for my best example). I also love assisting in horizontal research; that is, the footer tables that say "President" and preceded and succeeded by. Very easy navigation with those.

At present, since I live in North Carolina, I'm also very involved in the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season and 2005 Atlantic hurricane season and its updates.

Project: Wikipedia:WikiProject Stations, because I'm a subway nut, and this was barely started then seemingly abandoned months ago. However, I don't know how useful this is... mental note: Ask.

I attended Emerson Preparatory School (started) and The George Washington University (destubbed); The major pages I've created are First Union and Barber-Scotia College; and I have, at present, 800 pages on my watch list.

Wikistress: Must remain calm and unpolitical... I am here, at the moment, to add information, not to engage in fights. Anything can be cleaned up by others.

Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!

About my name

Yes, it's from a video game. But I'm not one of those people who just runs around with a video game name thinking he's cool. I'm not cool at all. ...

Anyway, way back in 1991/1992, when I first joined Prodigy, I hooked up with the "Final Fantasy fan clubs" (what do you expect, I was 11) and, needing a name, and always being horrible (still to this day!) at making up my own name, I took the first name from Final Fantasy 2 that I saw wasn't used - Golbez.

It's grown to just be the nickname I use. That happens after using the same name for 13 years. *shrug* Hell, I even have girlfriends who have called me "Golbie." So there.

Notable Achievements

Added Ongoing Trials to Current Events. Who knows if it will stay.

TIP: If you find your wikistress is reaching high levels, or if you're hitting your watchlist every 20 seconds, here's a tip: Hit alt-x instead. I've found that browsing random pages and making edits on them is not only a great way to gain knowledge, but it's a nice way to contribute to Wikipedia and not be too emotionally involved at the moment.

Thanks for visiting!

State table status

I'm not going to do any more work on passages until I have better reference material; I have something in mind. But it doesn't make sense to duplicate my efforts.

I have decided to cease work on this altogether until I have said reference material. Won't be long, I promise.

I'm about halfway done updating them to the 109th congress, including adding the 109th house to all the states that currenly lack house tables. I'm also thinking of a way to make the tables more accessible, and furthermore, I .. don't think I like footnotes. :/
