I have been a wikipedia editor since 2006, but have become less active since I have discovered TNP ridesharing (Uber, Lyft, Sidecar and Via) and (more recently) TaskRabbit. I am also an entrepreneur, screenwriter and photographer (portfolio can be seen here). For many years, I claimed the title of the WP:CHICAGO director, but I am rarely involved in this anymore. I also formerly oversaw WP:WAWARDS and ran the WP:FOUR awards. I am a former Wikipedia:Online Ambassador and the former Chicago representative to the Wikimedians Active in Local Regions of the United States (WALRUS) committee. I considered myself to be "The volunteer voice of Michigan Wolverines men's basketball on Wikipedia" (based on having created the wikipedia page and served as the primary biographer of 13 of the 14 2010s decade Michigan Wolverines who made the NBA that decade (Manny Harris, Darius Morris, Tim Hardaway Jr., Trey Burke, Glenn Robinson III, Mitch McGary, Nik Stauskas, Caris LeVert, D. J. Wilson, Derrick Walton, Duncan Robinson, Jordan Poole, and Ignas Brazdeikis – missing Moe Wagner)[n 1] and many who did not plus lots of work on John Beilein, Tommy Amaker & Juwan Howard as well as the 2008–09 team2018–19 team). When I was the primary wikipedia biographer for 5 Chicago area McDonald's All-American Game players in a 3 year span (Jabari Parker, Jahlil Okafor, Cliff Alexander, Tyler Ulis and Jalen Brunson), I started taking photography more seriously (moving from a point-and-shoot camera to a digital single-lens reflex camera). This intrerest has led to wikipedia having many decent basketball images on NBA draft day. One of my biggest contributions to the world was turning Millennium Park into WP:FT. In September 2008, it became a topic. On January 26, 2010 the topic was promoted to featured. It remained featured until a January 2022 demotion. During Millenium Parks tenure as Wikipedia topic, it became the number one tourist attaction in Chicago. On August 24, 2011, I was the first Wikipedian recognized for having achieved 100 WP:DYKs, 100 WP:GAs and 100 WP:FC, a feat known as the The Marco Polo Centurion triple crown. Since the award had been seemingly unachievable, it was previously named the Ultimate Triple Crown with an explanation that the winner "eats Jimbo Wales for lunch and takes over Wikipedia". Now the 250 level (the new unachievable level of the WP:CROWN award) is called the Ultimate Triple Crown. On May 2, 2010, I became the first recipient of wikipedia's WP:GOLDENW award, which recognizes achieving the wikipedia editorial pentathalon. On June 4, 2011, I became the fourth wikipedian to achieve the Golden WP:STEEPLEchase. I held the lead with the most WP:FOUR awards from April 14, 2009 until May 9, 2010. There have been 47,152,234 registered users of wikipedia of which about 90,000 are regular contributors. In July 2011, I moved in, out and back in to the top 40 wikipedians in terms of most edits, which led to a celebration or two. I have ranked as high as #22 (from 9 October 2013 until I fell to #23 on 27 November 2013). I finally fell out of the top 40 on November 13, 2017. On August 27, 2011, I had been scheduled to speak regarding "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?"-Martin Luther King, Jr. as a wikipedian at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in conjunction with the August 28 Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial dedication ceremonies, but due to Hurricane Irene the weekend events were postponed and my portion of the event was eventually cancelled. I competed in the 2010 WikiCup, which is the Wikipedia world championships of encyclopedic content creation, where I advanced to the final round of eight competitors (note that you can see my round by round contributions by clicking here). I placed second although two people had higher point totals. One of those withdrew before the contest ended. I marked my 50th birthday with a storied trip which was documented at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2015-08-19/Travelogue. By the time of my 60th or 65th B-day, I hope I can afford to spend a week at Trump SoHo for which I was the page creator.

Despite my claims of extensive wikipedia success, I should note that I have about the same amount of influence on wikipedia as your average IP address. If you look at every discussion that I have initiated to make policy changes on wikipedia (dozens and dozens by now), you will note that until 2013 every one of them was driven to a no consensus decision. My application to 2013 Wikimania (the first I have applied to) was declined. You may note that both WP:FS and WP:VPICS have been turned inactive after I promoted a bunch of media through both processes. Is this a coincidence? I hope so or else WP:GA is in danger. You can also see evidence of my influence on WP in my suggestions at Wikipedia talk:Vital articles/Expanded‎ in September 2015.

To the best of my knowledge, until sometime around 2012 I was English Wikipedia's most prolific reviewed-class (WP:FA, WP:FL, WP:GA) encyclopedic content contributor in terms of total number of reviewed articles for which I was a significant contributor. Generally, when choosing between allocating my time between an article that is extremely deficient in (if not devoid of) encyclopedic content and an article rich in encyclopedic content in need of stylistic refinements, I choose to contribute my time to the former. In fact, in addition to the eleven WP:FOUR awards I have earned, I have taken 205 articles from being non-existent through the WP:DYK process and then to GA status. Here is my overall Article review record. This is how I have allocated my wikipedia editing time during my last 45,000 edits. One knock against my penchant for creating articles is that I have not had much impact on raising the quality of the 10,000 most vital articles. It is now possible to see daily page view statistics for wikipedia pages. In the cases of the more recent WP:DYK nominations, you can determine how many page views and article received while it was linked to the main page by checking its discussion page to see the DYK date and using this page view tool.

Among the articles I have taken to WP:GA level are twelve articles which I created because I found they were notable subjects whose articles had previously been deleted (Junior Hemingway, John W. Rogers, Jr., Manny Harris, Nate Parker, PokerTracker, Toni Preckwinkle, Brandon Minor, Obi Ezeh, Kevin Lowe, Tory Burch, Tyus Jones and "Cat Daddy"), and six of which have survived a WP:AFD challenges after my initial page creation (Argo Tea, "Cat Daddy", Thomas Wilcher, Louie Caporusso and María del Luján Telpuk, Randall Cunningham II). I also re-created the twice-deleted ((Ben Affleck)) and the deleted ((Tom Hanks)).

I have been focusing on writing and creating a television show. I still try to get some of my articles through the WP:GAC process, but I generally focus on less complex articles now. I still try to watch all of the articles that I have created and will be continuing to monitor WP:CHIAA as I am able. At a time when 5 of the top ten shows on television are crime dramas and four are reality television elimination competition shows (see 2010–11 United States network television schedule), I have developed a spec script for each genre with one being a combination of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and 24 and the other being a combination of American Idol and The Bachelor. Tony continues to seek an agent.

My first GA was Campbell's Soup Cans, which also became my first FA. My 250th GA was Justin Boren. My first FL was National Recording Registry (which evolved from my first edit on WP) and my first DYK was Rob Pelinka and my 500th was John Grisham's 25th novel, The Litigators on the day it was released. I apologize to Arthur Eve, Argo Tea and 108 North State Street, my oldest WP:FOUR - eligible GAs for being too lazy to do the research to bring those more challenging articles to FA. My biggest FA failures are the following articles that I have nominated multiple times at WP:FAC without success: 2008–09 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team, Bob Chappuis, Michelle Obama, Jack Kemp, and Emily Ratajkowski.

I have assumed the Manager/Director duties of the Chicago WikiProject as well as the Coordinator duties for the Assessment department of the project. Below are current statistics for the project, and here is a project log. Follow the bot tagging for WP:WPChi here. In April 2007, before Elkman helped us set up ((ChicagoWikiProject)), SatyrTN helped us add this tag with his bot to articles and Speciate donated inordinate amounts of time parameterizing the template on talk page after talk page our project looked like this. Here is a sumary of the current state of the project. After SatyrTN retired, StepShep and Xeno ran bots that tagged articles for the project.
