Database developer and project manager, Des Moines, Iowa, United States of America.

Baseball fan, member of the Society for American Baseball Research (http://www.sabr.org) since 1998. Avidly interested in all the baseball pages (with partner-in-crime Gareth Owen and others). I also resumed fencing recently.

Wikimail is always welcome!

Some tools to help focus:

The perfect article

Perfect stub article

My To-Do list:

• National Football League add notes on history of franchises (see also Wikipedia:WikiProject Sports Team Listing)
• Major League Baseball: add notes on history of franchises (see also Wikipedia:WikiProject Sports Team Listing)
• Baseball/World Series: Add some highlights. Ditto for Baseball/American League Championship Series, Baseball/National League Championship Series.
• Space exploration - add some material on unmanned space missions, particularly the Ranger program, Surveyor program and Orbiter program (preparatory to lunar landing)
• Apollo program - keep fleshing out the missions, the astronauts, the engineers, etc.
• Des Moines - add brief history of city
• Fighter aircraft - add to list of WWI-era craft
• "area rule" (under Aeronautics). Also Skunk Works, which would make a fascinating article.
• a biography for Richard Whitcomb, aeronautical engineer extraordinaire
• Fictional guidebook - develop this article further
