User:Barkeep49

Welcome

Welcome to my userpage. I edit Wikipedia because I believe in the mission of spreading the world's knowledge - for free! I am fortunate enough to be an administrator (or my preferred phrase - sysop) here. If you have a concern or need help please leave me a note on my talk page and I'll be happy to answer or assist.

Currently working on:

• Helping get the U4C off the ground
• Patrolling new pages as the mood strikes me and time allows
• Closing Articles for Deletion and other discussions which catch my interest.
• Creating pages for all Newbery and Caldecott winner and honor books.
  • Every winner for both awards now has a page (though some of them are incredibly STUBBY).
    • As of 2025 this is no longer true. But I plan to make it true once again.

Things I want to do... some day:

• Make into a GA:
  • YouTube (I am slowly working on this already)
  • Wrigley Field
  • Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key, The House of the Scorpion, The Westing Game (source)
  • Piggie Pie, Once Upon a Cool Motorcycle Dude
• Overhaul of Learning by teaching or some other educational article like Backward design to GA standard so that we have at least one educational theory GA

My work

• Content
• Sysop stats
• Essays
