Break? I need to catch up on some things I have been neglecting. If I can constrain my WP addiction, I'll be here little or not at all for a while.

[edit] Intro

My name is Maurreen Skowran.

I'm a business copy editor at The News & Observer, a newspaper in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. My first career was aviation support in the U.S. Marine Corps.

I mainly work on the Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team, especially Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Core topics.

Besides those, I also created or helped start:

• News design article
• Wikipedia:Article improvement drive
• Wikipedia:Maintenance collaboration of the week
• Wikipedia:Third opinion
• Wikipedia:Wikipedian categories
• Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts

[edit] Quotes

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Attributed to Edmund Burke, but never found in his works, according to Bartleby

You can do almost anything if you want to bad enough.

My mom, Pat Skowran (although this might be a paraphrase)
