    About my contributions

    My first edit as a registered user was made at 20:23 on 16 July 2006 to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Since then, most of my editing has been concentrated to Oklahoma-related articles, but not exclusively. I watch and edit many articles, but there are only a handful of which I might consider myself a true content contributor. See the list below — for the most part, articles are in no particular order.

    Note: My contributions and edit count do not reflect the contributions made on my previous account or its edit count. Much of the involvement and contribution information listed below is actually attributed to my previous account, which also held the username "Okiefromokla". Due to a password debacle that prevented me from accessing my primary account, this account was renamed from This is a sockpuppet of User:Okiefromokla to "Okiefromokla" on January 19, 2008, and "Okiefromokla" went to "Okiefromokla (old)". I apologize for any confusion.

    Mythical WikiOkie creature
