Well, I have little to say about myself except that I am Canadian, live in Mississauga (represent!), am a non-denominational Christian, and am of Ukrainian birth. Huh, I DO have something to say about myself.

As you can see, I have userboxes, but they're in TERRIBLE condition. If you can help me sort them out (into something of a pattern), please, please do.

Wikipedia and Me

You won't see me writing articles (a big reason is that I have no idea how to cite my sources) much, but I chip away at the giant stone of Wikipedia with minor edits. Be it a missing link or a link too many, a spelling mistake, or any other small mishap, I'll fix it. Also, I'll add small tidbits of information here and there (nothing I'll have to cite though). I believe the term is...gnome? Sure, I'm no barnstar candidate (unless there's a barnstar for prolific gnomes of Wikipedia), but I like to know that I help out at least a little.

Picture of the day

The Rock Springs massacre occurred in 1885 in the present-day United States city of Rock Springs, Wyoming. The riot, and resulting massacre of immigrant Chinese miners by white immigrant miners, was the result of racial prejudice toward the Chinese miners, who were perceived to be taking jobs from the white miners. The Union Pacific Coal Department found it economically beneficial to give preference in hiring to Chinese miners, who were willing to work for lower wages than their white counterparts, angering the white miners. When the rioting ended, at least 28 Chinese miners were dead and 15 were injured. Rioters burned 78 Chinese homes, resulting in approximately $150,000 in property damage (equal to $5.09 million in 2020 terms). The massacre in Rock Springs touched off a wave of anti-Chinese violence, especially in the Puget Sound area of Washington Territory.Artwork credit: Thure de Thulstrup; restored by Adam Cuerden
