User:Commandant Quacks-a-lot

For the most part, I just do small edits (especially adding links) to preexisting articles. However, I have written a few of my own. They're admittedly not great; I just hope that Wikipedians even nerdier than I will come along and improve it.

If I make any typos, please have mercy on me. I'm using an obsolete Asus laptop running Windows 8.

If you'd like, you can look at what I've uploaded to Wikimedia Commons here

As of August 21 of 2025, there's over a million views on pages I've edited!

Unfortunately, Wikipedia does have one major issue.

You can view a hastily curated selection of cool pictures here.

For anyone who may be curious, I hail from the sad little hamlet that is the Soy City.

Articles I've started (and the rationale for writing on such absurd topics)

Note: This list excludes redirects, disambiguation pages, categories, etc.

Château de Picomtal - I was annoyed by a red link on Joachim Martin.
Nueva Montaña Quijano - I was annoyed by a red link on Authi.
HMS Unicorn (1776) - Annoyed by a red link on... Some article or another. (The article is much, much improved from what I wrote. Ship nerds are a productive folk.)
Purington Paving Brick Company - I saw some Purington Pavers whilst in Peoria, and found the company's history to be almost interesting-ish. Actually, a few of the pictures on the article are ones I took myself!
Lizzie the Elephant - I noticed her mentioned in Thomas William Ward (industrialist), althought there were no details provided. SO obviously i had to waste a few hours writing an article about her!
DeKalb Commercial Body Corporation - I discovered the company in this article and thought the company could use a Wikipedia article. Maybe it's just the sources I used (I'm looking at YOU, coachbuilt.com), but I really, truly despised writing this article. And I've written articles about ௪ǚʔқનດᓯ BRICKS.
De Criol - I saw the name mentioned on Eynsford Castle, but found there was no page for the name that several mildly notably English nobles had.
Beola - I saw it in a red link on Monforte Tower and decided to write an article on it.
MV Isla De Bioko - I found it in a red link on List of shipwrecks in 2025.
Wikipedia:Refrain from employing an interminable vernacular - I was inspired to write this after noticing the occurrence quite often, but a particularly bad AfC draft pushed me over the edge. (I won't be a jerk and tell you which one it was.)

Just 4 fun!

On 21 August 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Lizzie (elephant), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.
