Wiki Contributions

I make random and often non-serious edits.

I'm interested in recording the history of stuff, especially anecdotes and trivia. I started the blog Story Time with Uncle Tyson for that purpose, but there are things that more rightly belong in the wiki.

Semi-developed projects

• Category:Notable Cubers, all subcategories, and 100+ articles (many still rough). Some favorites: Rowe Hessler, Daniel Lo, Bob Burton, Stefan Pochmann, Lucas Garron, Gaétan Guimond, Toby Mao
• Template:S-title etc, Wikipedia-style succession boxes for achievements. Added most World/Continental/US titles.
• List of World Records (all subpages were originally here) and the templates used there

Single articles

• List of Cubing Memes. This is the kind of stuff I really think should be recorded for posterity.
• Cleaned up many substeps/methods articles (MGLS, CLS, L2L4, Jeff2l, CPLS, 2GLL, Magic Wonderful, JTLE, Advanced F2L, etc.)

Starting projects

• communities and clubs, including history; e.g. Berkeley Cube Club, KOII, CubingUSA
• major competitions; e.g. US Nationals 2011
• get more compete to contribute

Trivia

• My Erdős number is 5.
• My Blonk number is 1.
