Hi, I'm Kyerjay.

I like my trucks, yes. The image above is of Tusayan, Arizona, because it's nice. I might not contribute much to pages, but I'll do my best to support WikiProjects that I'm interested in.

<—— This is an image I scavenged, of Tusayan again. Image scavenging around the internet and also free sources like Flickr is something I will probably be doing a lot of. I believe in beautifying Wikipedia, and I know that a lot of editors don't have the skills/effort/time. By focussing on here, I know it's a positive contribution. It's also something I enjoy, obviously. I know how to use Google to find free images, and can help determine if copyright has expired if you want! Images I love searching for are in a variety of themes, so please ask.
I am making, mostly, articles about the people and history of Arizona, like Lomayumtewa C. Ishii and "Hairlip" Charlie Smith. I am active in WikiProjects on these topics, and will hopefully be able to add a lot to the Old West's representation on Wikipedia. However, I will be contributing to articles on other topics, even if just adding images.
This sign is one of the images I've uploaded to WikiMedia Commons. Currently, none of them are my own photographs. The full list of my Commons uploads is here. Without starting a discussion on Manifest Destiny, I'm also here promoting my Route 66 user boxes. Share the positivity!
I will probably also contribute to things in and around Flagstaff, which if you don't know is the largest city in Northern Arizona and close to Tusayan; both are gateways to the Grand Canyon. Flagstaff, Arizona also has a lot of other significant value. It's an historic site of film, Route 66, etc. If you want to know more about these, if you want help finding sources, or if you find an article you think I'd like to contribute to, ping me!
More fun facts: Flagstaff is the eighth snowiest city in the entire United States,[1] and the 31st coldest city.[2] It has one of the highest mountains in the contiguous US, Humphrey's Peak, which is accessible year-round for hiking and skiing. Wintry Flagstaff is an interesting topic that deserves to have more written on it, especially being so close to one of the hottest deserts in the world!

I've also set up a WikiProject for Bull riding. It'd be great if y'all wanted to contribute at WikiProject Bull Riding.
