Greetings, I'm RyRy, a Wikipedian of the English Wikipedia. I'm always glad to help other editors, so don't hesitate to ask on my 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 at Wikipedia, the freeencyclopedia that anyone can edit.
Generally, I'm active and online a few times a day on Wikipedia, unless I'm on a wikibreak. I'm an overall nice person, but if I do become uncivil or if I lose my cool, I'm always available to be slapped with a trout or whenever appropriate.
I have a few main areas here on Wikipedia. I write mostly baseball-related topics since I do enjoy the history of baseball and baseball players very much. I contribute and am a member for WikiProject Baseball. In particular, I contribute to the Boston Red Sox WikiProject since I'm a Boston Red Sox fan. Click here to view all the articles I have created. One of my main areas are WP:DYK. In that area, I review suggested hooks and move verified suggested hooks to the preparation area so they can appear on the Main 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 visit this link to view my DYK hooks. I sometimes new page patrol, mostly tagging WP:CSDs, or simply just improving those new articles, ect. I revertvandalism quite a lot at times and report vandals or spammers that need to be blocked at WP:AIV, and try to make the appropriate actions there. Not only do I report vandals and spammers to AIV, I also clerk (commenting and removing insufficiently reported users) at AIV. I have account creators right and I sometimes create account requests. I'm also a rollbacker, so I can easily and quickly revert vandalism using the rollback tool. I vote at WP:AFD on occasions and I usually make non-administrative closures to close debates myself. I do a lot of copyediting and wikifying on pretty much any article as well. I sometimes volunteer at the help desk and on rare occasions, the {{helpme}} page. On occasions, I comment at WP:AN and WP: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 something myspacey...), the best place to do that would be contacting me on my talk page or by e-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 my talk page to redesign your user page or any different page.
Warned user. This isn't really vandalism, but I revoked extended confirmed. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:01, 28 August 2026 (UTC)
Daniel Quinlan, I do realize this isn't vandalism, but I've usually assumed AIV is the best noticeboard for these types of extremely obvious XC gaming in order to stop it (either via blocking or just revoking XC). Is there a better place? 45dogs (they/them) (talk page)(contributions) 00:30, 29 August 2026 (UTC)
45dogs, I think AIV is probably the best option when it's tied to an account clearly being used for bad faith edits. I don't love the idea of sending these to ANI either so I'm not sure we have a great option for the other case. Anyhow, I changed the tag to warned. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 02:06, 29 August 2026 (UTC)
Userhas been incorrectly or insufficiently warned. Re-report if the user resumes vandalising after being warned sufficiently. Not severe. EvergreenFir(talk) 04:37, 29 August 2026 (UTC)
You can get in touch with me through a number of different methods. My talk page is available to take messages, but please feel free to use e-mail for sensitive issues.
Alternatively, you can find me on IRC under the nickname RyanCross or RyRy 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.

Dualism divides a domain or phenomenon into two separate principles or kinds.
Dualism is a family of views that posit a fundamental division into two separate principles or kinds. It typically emphasizes a sharp distinction between independent or antagonistic sides, but also includes theories in which the two sides are correlated or complementary. Dualism contrasts with monism, which rejects any fundamental division, and spans many domains. Mind–body dualism holds that mind and body are fundamentally different. Ethical dualism regards good and evil as antagonistic forces that govern human conduct and the cosmic order. Platonic dualism divides reality into timeless forms and mutable matter. Epistemological dualism posits an essential gap between the object of perception and the real object. Critics argue that dualism ignores continuities, creates pseudoproblems, or introduces evaluative biases. Dualism has its roots in antiquity as a key theme of various religious traditions, such as Zoroastrianism, Jainism, the yinyang school, Samkhya, Gnosticism, and Manichaeism. (Fullarticle...)
