Boneyard90

This editor is a **Master Editor III** and is entitled to display this **Bufonite Editor Star**.

I assume that if you're looking at this, you probably want to know something about me, so here's a short profile:

Real Name: Brian

Sex: Male

Age: Old enough to know better.

Username: At the time it was first used, I was working as a cemetery caretaker, and "the boneyard" was an affectionate (though irreverent) term for my workplace. The ninety is for the milestone year I graduated high school and joined the U.S. Army.
Current Wikipedia Activities: Working on trying to clear out the multitude of Unassessed articles or evaluating the Unknown Importance articles in WikiProject:Japan and a couple of other wikiprojects.

Photo Contributions: Boneyard90 at Wikimedia

General Interests: All things historical and cultural. My degree is in Anthropology, in which my specialties are Human Osteology and Bioarchaeology.

I've worked in and studied American cemeteries and Southeastern Archaeology of the U.S..
I lived in Japan for about five years, and while there visited about 130 castle sites; some were originals, many were reconstructions, ruins, or empty sites.

Most anything else of passing interest can probably be learned from the Userboxes I've posted below. I'm still working on this page, because I have no idea what I'm doing.
