| − | Hi, I'm Steven Walling! Here at AboutUs I work to fufill our [[MissionStatement|goal]] by providing [[exceptional content]] in the form of [[:Category:AboutUsPortal|portals]], as well as [[WikiCoach|coaching]] and writing for those interested in having AboutUs develop [[SpotlightArticles|a great wiki page]] for them. From top to bottom at AboutUs, I find it to be a unique and fascinating endeavor, and I'm elated to be here. The web is a complex place, and AboutUs is working to connect the dots between organizations to make the bigger picture clear. In coaching those interested in growing their business with AboutUs, I'm living my dream: helping others discover the positive impact of wiki. | |

| − | Elsewhere in the wikiverse, I'm primarily an editor and administrator for the [[Wikipedia.org|English Wikipedia]]. I'm also a nominal user on [[WikiHow.com|WikiHow]], [[commons.wikimedia.org|Wikimedia Commons]], [[wikiquote.org|WikiQuote]] and [[wikibooks.org|Wikibooks]]. I was born and raised in Vancouver, Washington and attended [[arts.vansd.org|the Vancouver School of Arts and Academics]]. Now happily residing in Portland, I've written film, literary and performing arts criticism for ''[[willametteweek.com|Willamette Week]]'' and ''[[Vanvoice.com|The Vancouver Voice]]''. My off-wiki hobbies include [[USGo.org|Go]], Tai Chi, and backyard chicken keeping (I keep [[Steven's Egg Record 2008|a record]] of my hen's egg production on the wiki).

| − | After reading a great news story by the [[Wcfcourier.com|WCF Courier]], I went hunting for some rather basic additional information. I wondered what the full name of the publication was, I wanted to know what region they served, what their distribution numbers where, what their email contact was, etc. It took me 15 minutes of surfing to discover that there was no page with this all of this information on their site. Where could I go next? Other news publications don't do guides to their regional competition, an encyclopedia wouldn't consider a local paper notable, and Google gives me thousands of hits to wade through. The answer: AboutUs. In less than five minutes, I found an accessible rundown of the paper that provided name and contact info in addition to placing the publication in the desired context of its physical location and within its industry. That's the magic of a good [[DomainPage]] on AboutUs.
