Welcome to the user page of Imzadi1979 Here's a little more about me. Any questions, hit the e-mail link at the left.
I'm originally from Negaunee in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, but I've lived in Traverse City in Northern Michigan on the Lower Peninsula from July 2007 to December 2008, and I've lived in the Grand Rapids metro area until February 2012, but I've always considered myself a proud Yooper in addition to being a Michiganian. I primarily write and edit articles about highways in the United States, usually in my home state of Michigan.
Post a message to my talk page
I'm working on updating/expanding/improving the Michigan highway articles, with the goal to get as many to A-Class and Featured Article status as possible. In addition to these projects, I help coordinate stuff in an unofficial role at the Highways and U.S. Roads WikiProjects. I also work on template maintenance in support of these and other road-related projects.

The Original Barnstar For tirelessly forging ahead in creating articles that satisfy the requirements of the Michigan State Highway WikiProject and for fixing my blunders when I'm editing Wikipedia way past my bedtime :P Cheers! —Stratosphere (talk) 05:26, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

In 2008 I awarded you with the Tireless Contributor Barnstar for "the huge amount of work that went into propelling the Michigan highway project into uncharted levels of quality". Well, ever since then you've continued to do the same, and on the occasion of MISH hitting the 2.000 mark, it feels appropriate to give you another one. Kudos and keep it up! —Scott5114(talk) 20:24, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks so much for your contributions to List of Interstate Highways in Michigan. It looks fantastic, and as a fellow Michiganian it really made me happy to see it on the main page as a DYK. Please accept this barnstar as a small token of my appreciation. Thanks again! Michael Barera (talk) 23:53, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar Every now and then, I see your name popping up in various New Jersey articles. I was worried when it looked like most road editors would leave for the new wiki, so I'm glad to see people around here still. Cheers to people like you Imzadi working on this glorious mess of a project that we call Wikipedia! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:00, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
