Greetings, I'mRyRy, aWikipedian of theEnglish Wikipedia. I'm always glad to help other editors, so don't hesitate to ask onmy talk page if you need my assistance. I'm contributer to Wikipedia because I believe we can make positive changes to the world, spreading the gift of free knowledge to our readers. I believe we can improve the quality of Wikipedia and encourage more and more people to help in our collaborative attempt to help spread the knowledge to others working together as a community here atWikipedia, thefreeencyclopedia thatanyone can edit.
Generally, I'm active and online a few times a day on Wikipedia, unless I'm on awikibreak. I'm an overall nice person, but if I do becomeuncivil or if I lose mycool, I'm always available to beslapped with a trout or whenever appropriate.
I have a few main areas here on Wikipedia. I write mostlybaseball-related topics since I do enjoy the history of baseball and baseball players very much. I contribute and am a member forWikiProject Baseball. In particular, I contribute to theBoston Red Sox WikiProject since I'm aBoston Red Sox fan.Click here to view all the articles I have created. One of my main areas areWP:DYK. In that area, I reviewsuggested hooks and move verified suggested hooks to thepreparation area so they can appear on theMain page. Most of the articles I've created or expanded are DYKs and have appeared in the "Did you know..." section on the Main page. You can visitthis link to view my DYK hooks. I sometimesnew page patrol, mostly taggingWP:CSDs, or simply just improving those new articles, ect. Irevertvandalism quite a lot at times and report vandals orspammers that need to be blocked atWP:AIV, and try to make the appropriate actions there. Not only do I report vandals and spammers to AIV, I alsoclerk (commenting and removing insufficiently reported users) at AIV. I haveaccount creators right and I sometimes create accountrequests. I'm also a rollbacker, so I can easily and quickly revert vandalism using therollback tool. I vote atWP:AFD on occasions and I usually makenon-administrative closures to close debates myself. I do a lot ofcopyediting andwikifying on pretty much any article as well. I sometimes volunteer at thehelp desk and on rare occasions, the {{helpme}} page. On occasions, I comment atWP:AN andWP:ANI whenever possible.
So anyway, if you need my assistance or if you would just like to talk to me (I hope it's not somethingmyspacey...), the best place to do that would be contacting me onmy talk page or bye-mailing me.
I take great pleasure in helping other users in need of help, and I enjoy designing other Wiki pages. So if you want me to lend you a hand with your own user page, just give me a call and I'll see what I can do. Results not guaranteed! It will typically take me a few days to fulfill your request, but it should look good by then. Just be sure that there is a decent amount of text on your page and also be sure that you explain what you want your page to be like in details. Just ask on mytalk page to redesign your user page or any different page.
Well, isn't it obvious vandalism/spamming to repeat the same edit for the fourth/fifth time after 3 reverts with asks, warnings, and ban –diff?Solidest (talk) 18:35, 24 November 2025 (UTC)
You can get in touch with me through a number of different methods. Mytalk page is available to take messages, but please feel free touse e-mail for sensitive issues.
Alternatively, you can find me on IRC under the nicknameRyanCross orRyRy in most major Wikipedia channels; feel free to drop a/msg.
I'm probably one of the nicest editors there is around, and I do like to help people, but please don't harass or provoke me. I won't retalliate, I'll merely revert. That being said, feel free to ask me any questions you have, just be civil, and don't personally attack other editors.

Chagatai Khan (c. 1184 – 1242) was a son ofGenghis Khan and a prominent figure in the earlyMongol Empire. The second son of Genghis's wifeBörte, Chagatai was renowned for his masterful knowledge ofMongol custom and law and his harsh temperament. He was appointed to military commands alongside his brothers during theMongol conquest of the Jin dynasty in 1211 and theinvasion of the Khwarazmian Empire in 1219. After the campaign, Chagatai was granted large tracts of conquered land in Central Asia, which he ruled until his death, often quarrelling with officials likeMahmud Yalavach. Chagatai's inflexibility, most notably never accepting the legitimacy of his elder brotherJochi, excluded him from succession to Genghis's throne. He was nevertheless a key figure in ensuring the stability of the empire during the reign of his younger brotherÖgedei Khan, whom he advised. Chagatai died shortly after Ögedei in 1242; his descendants later ruled his territories as the eponymousChagatai Khanate. (Full article...)
