I have been on Wikipedia since 2008 and mostly edit topics related to rivers, dams, waterfalls, lakes and civil infrastructure particularly along the West Coast of North America. My username comes from Lake Shannon in Washington state, near the North Cascades National Park.
See my maps page and my useful interactive river flow/reservoir page for water nerds (work in progress).

For all your hard work on articles about bodies of water, rivers in particular. Keep it flowing at a high discharge! You don't seem to be affected by this summer's great drought. Jsayre64 (talk) 17:59, 13 July 2011 (UTC) |

rivers and dams
Veteran user with a name from "the most beautiful place on earth" (have you been there now?), showing "inspiration", turning Wikipedia green, thank you for quality articles on rivers and hydraulic engineering of the United States, such as the Colorado, Aliso Creek (Orange County) and Missouri River (improved with perseverance), for project dams, for stopping at nothing, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!
