| Native of Muncie, Indiana, working in Chicago, just playing the never-ending game of keeping up to speed on Internet trends, communities, services, culture! I intend to work on a little watchlist for myself, and start out by keeping track of a small subset of the growth on here. If I notice inaccuracies, I'll try to fix. Eventually I may post a few of my own creations. I'm also thinking about the permanence of the User: pages... considering keeping my active internet-wide "profile" located on my Misplaced Pages user page. | |||

| I'm a 17-year-old writer, musician, artist and photographer from New York. Hoping that college will provide me real opportunities to do what I want to do rather than what some stupid teacher tells me to... | |||
| Just got started on Wiki, but it's really awesome. I wrote on Everything2 a bit but found it's just too informal and random to really be taken seriously, whereas this is clearly a real, professional undertaking. Your web design is beautiful, too! | |||
| I'm a huge music person, and listen to just about anything except for country and rap; favorite artists range from ] & ] to ], ] and ]. I guarantee I can show you some incredible music you've never heard of... just drop me a line :) | |||

| John Philip Sousa rules! I love music, the military, cooking, movies.. Yes, all very different things. Most of my Misplaced Pages contributions are based on march music. I look forward to sharing my knowledge of marches as well as learn what I have no knowledge of yet. My goal is to enlighten this near-forgetten piece of American music. | |||

| You know what they say about ideas: sometimes, an idea's time has come. I had been interested in creating a free, online, community-driven, informational and how-to Web site for more than 6 years; I should have started my project sooner. I found Misplaced Pages a couple of months ago and have been hooked ever since. I would love to see Misplaced Pages expand to include how-tos wherever possible. Misplaced Pages looks wonderful! I'm looking forward to working with others on this great project. | |||

| I'm Colin. I'm 26, a Georgia State University undergrad majoring in Philosophy, minoring in History. I've also done a ton of work with computers, I have a bit of musical knowledge, and I suppose I know a bit about lots of other things. In my studies, I've found Misplaced Pages to be a fantastic resource. Occasionally I'll see something that needs to be fixed or added to, so I figured I'd come and help out. | |||

| Of course, he wanted to encourage the Misplaced Pages in Esperanto, but doesn't object to me taking part in the English language one. I've already contributed to the Esperanto and ] articles. --] 21:33, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC) | |||
