Hello, this is the user page for Dpepper73. I don't know very much about creating Wikipedia articles, nor do I know how to use the necessary punctuation or “code” used to create such articles. I would like to learn though.
After seeing the wiki loves monuments contest for September 2016, I started looking at the places in my county that are on the National Register of Historic Places. I clicked on an image of one of the places and noticed that I was the one who created the Commons file for that particular place. It turned out that I had created files for 8 different places. Actually, I may have only uploaded the pictures for each place. Since I don't contribute much to Wikipedia, I can't recollect exactly what I did. I have a special appreciation for the Beaty-Mason House having lived across the street from the house for more than ten years. During that time I became close friends with a boy my age of who lived there. I became quite familiar with the house, both inside and out. The house is full of large rooms such as the dining room, a living room or two, a study, 3 or 4 very spacious bedrooms, 2 regular sized bedrooms, two indoor stairways, a kitchen, a den, a large basement and too many bathrooms to remember. I think a year or two passed before I grew accustomed to the size of the house. There are three porches that face the backyard; two on the second story and one on the first story. Spending all of that time in the Beaty-Mason house during my youth gave me an appreciation of the architecture of Southern historic homes and the craftsmanship involved in building them and keeping them maintained.
Someone suggested that I create a user page and here it is. I mainly make small changes to articles that I might be reading. If something is misspelled, grammatically incorrect, or if there is an error in punctuation, then I will usually make the proper changes. I hope to improve upon this user page soon and I also plan on creating a gallery page.
