I have been editing here since May 2005, (a month of my editing time under an IP), so I should probably give you an idea of who I am beyond what's been here as a placeholder just so my name isn't red. So I'm finally getting around to adding userboxes and a better biography of myself.

Let's do it in bullet-point form (because I can get verbose...very verbose).

* I'm a 30 year-old guy from Wisconsin...[[Sheboygan, Wisconsin|Sheboygan]], specifically. I'll wait while you get the giggles about America's favorite funnily-named town outside of [[Walla Walla]] out of your system.
* I usually edit a little bit of everything, mainly pop culture topics, television shows, and television/radio stations, along with local roads and expressways. After so much time here though, you get bored editing the same things, so I've broadened my horizions to do minor spelling and grammar edits, and I occasionally edit a template here and there.
* I do deal with vandalism also, but it's not my life. Just enough to discourage them from doing it again, but not flying off the handle because someone added immature content that can easily be reverted. Hey, it is ''the encyclopedia anyone can edit'' after all.
* If I can stay out of a content fight, I will. 3RR is an important rule and I feel it's better to come to a consensus than to make new enemies if I don't have to.
* I'm also heavy into voting on AfD's and creating them occasionaly, and though I am personal with why I choose my article decisions, it's always for the good of the project.
* My watchlist might be thin, but I do monitor plenty of articles and WikiProjects. My goal is to keep articles clean and concise to read, and hopefully entertaining as well.
* I am liberal, but here I'm neutral to anything political. If someone vandalizes an article about someone from another party, I still revert. It's the right thing to do.
* I do disagree with some of the fair-use picture policies, but that's for the lawyers to fight out. Suffice to say if it's from a photo agency, it should be gone, but I think fan pictures and many historical logos are fair game (really, is Nickelodeon going to throw a fit because you dredged up their hideous old 1979 logo?).
* What I do hate is overly crufy information from extreme fans of something such as those of [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]]. Sorry, but I don't consider [[Miranda Cosgrove]] hosting a marathon of ''Fresh Prince'' episodes upside-down revolving around the theme of Carlton wearing a green sweater and featuring the 'world premiere' of a 13 second Spongebob Squarepants Wii video game ad to be the most earth-shattering event in the history of mankind. Nor does it need an article.
**Nor does a block which everybody else except you, "Mr./Ms. Obsessed Fan with a restraining order filed by [[Keke Palmer]]", a marketing exec, an announcer, or graphics guy at Nick calls '4pm-6pm and/or Mommy's calm-down time'. Really, as long as the kids see ''[[iCarly]]'' or Spongebob on-screen, they don't care if it's named "The importance of hydro generation response resulting from the new thermal modeling -and required hydro modeling improvements...on Nick!".
* I learned about the project from reading an article about it from [[Aaron Barnhart]], a television critic for the ''[[Kansas City Star]]'', who if I recall, described Wikipedia as 'addictive'. I scoffed at the time when I clicked on a WP link. About 20,000 edits later ([http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=The_Steve_Wilkos_Show&diff=prev&oldid=228959279 this one for ''The Steve Wilkos Show'' being the 10,000th], while [http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Liza_Weil&diff=prev&oldid=393937741 this edit to Liza Weil's article updated a film title])...not so much with the scoffing.
* I watched all seven seasons of ''[[Gilmore Girls]]'', even the last annoying season with [[David S. Rosenthal|that guy who isn't]] [[Amy Sherman-Palladino]]. I fell for the awesomely talented and beautiful [[Liza Weil]] through the show and her character [[Paris Geller]]. That she's my favorite actress and Paris is the best character will probably never change. Unless she gets a new show. Which I hope for, soon.
* I also watched all five seasons of ''[[Ally McBeal]]'' and am finally thankful Fox is putting it out on DVD in the States, and for Fox finally realizing that they're not going to get a million dollars per airing of an episode and putting it on [[reelzChannel]].
* [[The CW Television Network|The CW]] used to be my favorite network, until GG ended and they replaced it with 192 hours of reality, [[CW Now|lame infomercials]], [[Easy Money (TV series)|a drama set around]] the [[payday loan]] industry (really?!) and programs [[The Beautiful Life: TBL|with redundant deja-vu titles]]. Now I watch [[Fox Soccer Channel]] alot. I still don't know what my favorite football team is, but I'm leaning toward [[Everton F.C.|Everton]].
* Of course I like the [[Green Bay Packers]]. If I didn't, I think it would be against some Wisconsin statute and I'd have to perform community service.
* Yes, I write [[fanfiction]]. I do write Paris/[[Rory Gilmore|Rory]] and Paris/Lorelai [[femmeslash]]. I'm proud to do so.
* I also watch ''[[Grey's Anatomy]]'' and ''[[Private Practice]]'' (OK, not so much the second once since it's actually written by [[Shonda Rhimes]]' pet cockatoo), and ship [[Callie Torres|Callie]]/[[Addison Montgomery|Addison]] and Callie/[[Erica Hahn|Hahn]], though after what they did to [[Brooke Smith (actress)|Brooke Smith]], I'm having second thoughts.
* Yes, I'm a guy. No, I don't care for most male-targeted shows or science fiction, and I'm lost on ''Lost'' and ''Heroes''.
* But I do watch ''[[NCIS (TV series)|NCIS]]''.
* Also since I got an HDTV, ''[[Mythbusters]]''. Because you can't deny the lure of an awesome explosion. Or [[Kari Byron]].
* I'm an ''[[X-Play]]'' superfan. I've watched almost every episode and had videos of reviews up on YouTube before Comcast got all DMCA on G4/TechTV fans and deleted them all.
* ''[[The Soup]]'' is the only time I can watch reality television, because [[Joel McHale]] is the only one who can make it sane to me. I also watched ''[[Best Week Ever]]'', but it deserved to die after it went to the soul-sucking single-host format.
* I've stared quite a few articles (like [[WMLW-CA]], [[WPVS-LP]], [[WWRS]], [[WSHS (FM)]], [[WPXE]], and MeTV Milwaukee (since then, becoming [[WBME-TV]], which I rewrote), and the article for the actress [[Natalie Morales (actress)|Natalie Morales]]), but most of the time I don't care for credit or anything. I say I lay the foundation and you bring the bricks. My major contributions were to the Paris article of course, at least before it got merged into one GG character article, and since then to the Eastern Wisconsin radio and TV articles).
* Yes, I do know I'm using my real name to edit. I'm uncreative like that.
* I do own an [[iPhone]], which I love. Leaving it at that, because boasting is dumb (moved up to a 3G in the last year and a little glad I didn't wait for [[iPhone 4]] though...)
* I listen to AM radio all the time, especially [[all-news radio]]. But I prefer middle of the road talk like [[WGN (AM)|WGN]]; I don't care for political and sports talk. I also hate local radio monopolies which suck locality out of radio so they can carry shows you can hear on big city radio stations anyway.
** But I am very unhappy about WGN's 'old shock jock retirement home and convicted felon' host direction as of late. Really, can we have one station that's just truly and stubbornly middle of the road?
***Ah, never mind about the convicted felon, he's gone, thank goodness. Now if only we can get [[Nick Digilio]] much more presence on the station.
* I am also somewhat proud to say I am among the 292 Americans who have adopted [[HD Radio]]. For non-commercial stations, pretty awesome. Commercial stations...seriously, an HD comedy subchannel with moldy stand-up routines? Not being used to it's potential is an understatement here.
* [[WGN America]]'s [[:File:WGN America 2008.svg|thankfully short-lived logo]] (and now sadly gone because <s>obviously some children were scarred for life viewing the cold, dead green eyes gazing at them like she would rise from the logo and kill them</s> it was deleted) was totally the new [[can't sleep, clown will eat me]]. Except replace the clown with Lydia from ''Beetlejuice'' and combine it with a ''Wayne's World'' EXTREME CLOSE-UP!!.
* Automation also really bugs me. It somehow ends up malfunctioning and a station has dead air for an hour because some engineer 1,000 miles away forgets to flip a switch.
* Which is why I love podcasts. Unless the server's down or your MP3 player is broken, no technical difficulties.
* I own a [[Weatheradio]] and am a middling weather geek. I even bought a DTV reciever so I could get the local weather [[digital subchannel]]s to watch (and watch and watch...let's just say I have memorized [[WBAY-TV#Digital subchannels|Stormcenter 2 24/7]]'s background music and commercial playlists down to knowing Glen Park at Lake Metonga is where you can just sit on the deck and drink your coffee in the morning to about 7.23 seconds).
* As much as I'd like to use an external WP editor, I hate IE (which most of them use as an engine) and try to never use it if I don't have to, so I'm content with popups in Opera.
* Although I did recieve rollback in July and use [[WP:HUGGLE|Huggle]] whenever I don't find anything to do on regular article patrol.
* I also edit on [[TVTropes]], though anonymously and under an alias I will not reveal since we've gone to more sourcing and less rambling writing on minutia like I usually do and love here.
* [[:File:Snuggie.jpg|This picture]], meanwhile, has the most awesome fair use rationale I've seen in three years of using them in image descriptions (darn, deleted...well to describe it featured a still from the [[Snuggie]] ad with the image description "Our fearless leader")...
*...while this [http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Mark_Buehrle&diff=303802562&oldid=303802490 edit], though I don't encourage vandalism at all, is the most hilariously true{{fact}} edit I've had the pleasure to read.
