While I welcome all comments and suggestions there are some comments which will tend to reduce my attention level. I really do need help on learning Wikipedia so if you feel like helping me, please follow these guidelines that I try to follow. If I fail in my efforts to follow them, let me know.
Some people like to hide their identity on Wikipedia. I see in the news it has caused a lot of controversy. Not me. I am who I am. My intention is not to vandalize, not to victimize, and not to fictionalize. If I write it I am fairly certain it is accurate and I try to include my sources. I tend to avoid controversy. While I am not sure I agree with all the bureaucracy forming within Wikipedia I still believe we need to preserve history for future generations. The debate for me is where to place the archive. My blog certainly doesn’t seem to qualify. So for now, with all of Wikipedia’s imperfections and my good intentions, I will preserve history here.
I cannot lie. I am somewhat concerned about over zealous administrators. But, maybe the pendulum will swing again. I do understand my opinion is not the only opinion when it comes to value.
And now, without further adieu, I present the real me, my qualifications, and my philosophy in sharing what little I know.
General
Dailynetworks is the name of my hobby website. Feel free to call me Mark. Please be patient as I learn. I work in spurts (I think I am ADD). You will find me wandering around Wiki as I am a trivia nut and enjoy the information I learn here. I decided to start contributing when I discovered I knew some things about Alabama history that I thought would be interesting. My mother has written numerous history books about North Alabama, specifically the Shoals Area.
"Keep him down boys. We got him where we want him."
The goal of my participation is to preserve history for future generations, especially about my hometown. Too often the actual significance each of our ancestors played into making the world what it is today is forgotten and only the politically connected are remembered. To compound the problem the politically connected often have the ability to whitewash their own mistakes.
I despise vandals who don’t value the significance of preserving our past so we can learn for the future. I despise overzealous administrators who see the chance to build their own ego through a power rush and hide behind anonymity. I praise editors and administrators who are willing to open a conversation BEFORE creating a conflict. I am unsure about my feelings for Wikipedia as an organization. I am always unsure of any organization who claims tax exemption but seems to find a way to profit from their efforts.
Personally I don’t think everything you can add of historical significance can be freely sourced. Therefore I support the concept of fair use. I support the idea of copyrighting material but I think material can be referenced and attributed to its source without damaging the overall profitability of the entire works if only a minor portion is used for historical purposes.

My small attempt at preventing identity theft. Although I seriously doubt anybody would really want to use my identity to edit Wikipedia, I can now offer some cryptic proof of my actual identity. But please understand that I cannot offer autographed pictures at this time, as I expect future fame may make such autographs an object of great opportunity on eBay.
