Hello, welcome to the user page for no1lakersfan. I am from Newport News, Virginia, and like to write and work with articles for the Hampton Roads area.

I like to work with other users to make quality articles for the site. I try to be helpful to other contributors, and appreciate comments and communications. If you would like to contact me, use my talk page. Make sure you sign it so that I am able to respond if necessary.

I used to let other people edit my user page; I still don't mind if people do. However, I have decided to take steps to prevent unauthorized and inappropriate edits. As a result, I created a subpage here, which is inserted with a template to the "main page".

I tend to make minor edits--reverting malicious edits found with Twinkle, making very minor edits using autowikibrowser, patrolling new pages found on the new pages feed, and welcoming new users with twinkle.

I believe that Wikipedia can be a valuable resource when used as a starting place for research; however, nobody should ever use it solely for research, per the general disclaimer. In many cases, students are not allowed to use Wikipedia for a primary source when conducting research, as it is a resource that is editable by anyone. Instead, it should be used as a starting point to find other sources that can assist with further research on the subject matter. What I like about Wikipedia is that we're trying to educate other people, however imperfectly we may do it.

Hello! Welcome to my , a page where I can talk about myself, what I like to do on Wikipedia and possibly elsewhere, and what might affect my editing. For example, if I believed I had a potential conflict of interest, I'd declare it here. If I didn't understand English very well, I'd say so; likewise, if I knew any other languages, I'd also say so. You'll also notice various "decorations" on this page (the template above this paragraph, the picture and infobox to the right, the userboxen to the left, etc.) These help me to express what sort of Wikipedian I am. You can access your own user page here. All blue/purple text can be clicked for further explanation, as can the "ad" above this paragraph.

My name is Willie H. from Newport News, Virginia, where I have lived all my life. I enjoy living on the Virginia Peninsula, and have no real desires to live anywhere else, maybe because I have never lived anywhere else.

The name no1lakersfan is derived from when I used to believe that I like the Los Angeles Lakers much more than anybody else. I knew this wasn't true, but wanted people to know who my favorite sports team was. This dated back to when both Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal were both playing for the Lakers and won three straight NBA titles from 2000-2002. Now, I don't watch basketball as much, for various reasons, not just because Shaq and Kobe are not on the same team anymore.

I am also a fan of the New York Yankees baseball club, not just because they are such a good team, but because they are able to piece together players from many different teams and have them work together well in order to win.

Since I am from the Hampton Roads area, I am also a fan of New York Mets 3rd baseman David Wright, who grew up in Chesapeake. I liked watching him play for the Mets' former AAA minor league baseball farm team, the Norfolk Tides of the International League.

I am an avid sports fan, and I like to play fantasy sports. I am also very interested in computers and how they work, and how the Internet works.

For the most part, I have been writing or adding to articles related to Hampton Roads, the Virginia Peninsula, and Virginia itself. Having been raised in Newport News, Virginia, I attended the Newport News Public Schools. I graduated in June 2007 from Woodside High School, and I helped to create the information for the article about that school. I also created a page about the AAA Peninsula District, the Peninsula's High School sports mainstay. I graduated from the Engineering School at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2011, majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Engineering Business.

I liked to participate in sports at the school, namely basketball and baseball. I was able to watch history unfold with Woodside's Boys Basketball team winning two straight Virginia High School League AAA titles. I was also a good friend of the basketball coach, as he was one of the teachers at my elementary school, located in front of Woodside.

I have also been involved with the Boy Scouts since I was a Cub Scout. I am now an Eagle Scout, which is something very important to me.

One way that Scouting has changed me is that I like to help out others. This is one of the reasons why I have decided to join Wikipedia, so that I can share my knowledge with others in order to help them find information about a wide variety of subjects.

While writing for Wikipedia, I have learned more about sports and other subjects that are interesting to me. I have found a lot of history about certain things as a result of my time spent here. I do not know that there is another site out there that has such a wide variety of information.

I have many Wikipedia:Userboxes; you can see them in the box above.

I am now an experienced user, and like to get involved with more advanced tasks. However, I am not fully experienced with all the formatting techniques employed here, as they are different from HTML. As I learn the different aspects of formatting, I hope that I can provide state of the art articles.

If you feel that you can be of assistance, feel free to contact me. I am open to all suggestions, as that is what helps me make what I do better.

Right now, I have written several articles, and edited or expanded other ones that I had more information for. I have also made sure that all links in articles that I have written are accurate. I have had to change a few, only to make the site better. I want the site to be as truthful as possible, and good links are also part of that.

The Wikimedia Foundation, the English Wikipedia, and specific articles within our encyclopedia are all routinely the subject of substantial news coverage by reputable media sources. Unfortunately, the media often misunderstands how Wikipedia works, leading to mistakes and even retractions. If you stumble upon my profile while working on an article for a reputable news source, please feel free to reach out to me for clarification on any facts or just to sanity check yourself. If I can't do it, I can probably find someone who can. You can contact me by any of the means listed below. You can, alternatively, browse through the rest of my userpage to find out more about this bizarre corner of the internet.

Above paragraph blatantly copied, and pasted from TheSandDoctors' userpage, who apparently copied and pasted from a former version of BU Rob13s' userpage; brutally edited afterwards to fit my situation.

• Pinging me at your own talk page by say something with {{ping|No1lakersfan}} somewhere within it.
• Emailing me by clicking here .
• Going (back?) to my talk page by clicking here.

The following FAQ was blatantly copied, and pasted from I dream of horses' userpage. It has been edited somewhat to make it more applicable to me.

Probably because of either a non-neutral point of view tone, because I didn't think the article you created met our notability standards, or both.

If the article is already deleted, I can help you find the admin who deleted it, so you can talk about it with them.

If it's at articles for deletion, then you can state your opinion there.

Add the sources, then remove the tag at the top.

Then remove the tag at the top; however, if you do so, you might have to endure an articles for deletion discussion.

Unless it's a PROD or procedural deletion, then no, you can't.

Barring a technological SNAFU, you should have a rejection message explaining why your draft was rejected with links. Perhaps you should look at those links to find more information.

Most likely, I'll choose not to review your draft if you ask this; note that I'm not obligated to do so, anyways.

Probably because I was reverting vandalism. Less commonly, because I thought the edit you made wasn't constructive, but wasn't vandalistic, either. I also make mistakes; tell me if I did.

Uhm, thanks?

I have done this a couple times, with no success. Maybe in the future, if the climate is right.

Yes, so long as it's sincere. However, note that since I already have a lot of Wikilove templates here, I particularly won't appreciate being spammed by several in a row. I also might remove the template if I think you didn't mean to give me one.

Sorry, but I'm not willing to adopt anyone at the moment. This may change in the future.

No and no. I use semi-automated programs, like huggle, and autowikibrowser.

No. For technical and copyright reasons (Wikipedias' copyright license requires attribution), accounts can't be deleted. You can, however, vanish, or have a clean start instead. You can also simply stop editing.

No, I'm serious. There's simply no way your account will be deleted, no matter how justified.

If edits are needing to be hidden by oversight or rev-deletion, and there is no other way (that is, blocking, etc.) to prevent edits from needing to be hidden in the future, you can semi-protect my talk page. Please create an unprotected subpage for IPs and non-confirmed users to talk to me; at the very least, put {{User talk protected}} at the top. Of course, make the protection as short as possible. If I need indefinite semi-protection, I'll request it explicitly; otherwise, don't semi-protect my talk page indefinitely.

I am not an admin, so under no circumstances should my talk page be fully protected.

Sure you can! Click here to do so. Just don't vandalize the page.

While it's not always a good idea to spam welcome templates, if you see a redlinked talk page link attached to a registered account in a page history, you should probably give one out (I prefer {{welcome-personal}} and {{welcome belated}} for registered accounts, myself). If you use the "good edit" keyboard shortcut (typing the letter "G) on huggle, you'll do the same thing; however, be careful with IPs, which may be drive-by editing and never see the welcome template. A lot of new users will click on the links in welcome templates to help themselves, and also contact you.

Also, having a talk page that's frequently archived with at least one thread left behind (I'm talking, a bare minimum, having seven day old threads archived---the more active you are in helping new users, the more you should archive), and having {{talk header preload}} at the top should both reduce the number of times new users accidentally mangle your talk page, and reduce what can be mangled.

1. . Vent your frustrations to me civilly
2. . Revert
3. . Surround the "corrected" word(s) with {{not a typo}}

This actually isn't asked very frequently, but by golly, it should be!

You can find out what to do next on most pages by clicking on "random article" and adding ?gettingStartedReturn=true to the end of the web address at the top of the screen. Another way to find out what to do next by going to the community portal, particularly the department directory and maintenance department. Another way to find out what to do is to get suggestions from suggestbot.

• Going to the #wikipedia-en-help chatroom.
• Asking questions at the teahouse, or help desk.
• Going to the editor assistance board for one-on-one attention.
• Using the {{help me}} template on your talk page.
• Going to the reference desk for help with non-Wikipedia related queries

• Using the article wizard.
• Making a draft in draftspace or your own sandbox.
• Our general notability policy
• Reliable sources, and how to place them throughout the article. Also, a summary of the sort of source we like.

• Edit war noticeboard.
• Noticeboard about copyright and other public enquiries.
• Dispute resolution noticeboard

I might slow down or even temporarily stop editing during times of stress in any area of my life, or boredom surrounding Wikipedia. There's no reason to worry; I'll likely come back.

If you need to contact somebody for help, you can contact me on my talk page even if I'm not editing much. Somebody will likely respond, either me or a talk page watcher. You can also go to the links right above you, to learn how to edit on your own or get help from someone else.
