So, you want to know what I do at Wikipedia?

My first contribution ever was removing a slash from a URL, with this account. That was in May 2005. I created this account for that purpose, never really expecting in staying here (as you could see from my earliest contributions. But something happened on September 2005, wish I could remember what exactly, and decided to come back and stay.

I am mostly a WikiGnome (which explains my high edit count). I spend my time doing format corrections to comply with the different manuals of style, adding cleanup templates to articles, and removing unnecessary content from articles (original research, vandalism, etc). I also like just going to the pages with no incoming links and reviewing them, tagging with the appropriate cleanup messages, prodding or directly sending them to deletion process.

From time to time I visit the Articles for Deletion page to see if I can help in any of the current discussions. I have participated in a few templates and maybe categories discussions, but mostly in items I had crossed while editing.

My watchlist has around 3,000 items, with almost a third of them being images. I concentrate on gaming (hardware and software), some music (mostly symphonic and gothic metal), fantasy (Dragonlance and some Tolkien) and japanese culture (pop music, anime and manga, etc). If I edit any other kind of article, it is likely I reached there through Special:Random, or clicking a couple of wikilinks starting from an article in which I have knowledge.

Finally, I expand some articles when able. Since I am suscribed to quite a good number of gaming sites, I am able to add references to gaming articles. I also like expanding Dragonlance articles, trying to make them fit the manual of style for fictional articles. I have overhauled (I like that term!) four articles, three related to Dragonlance characters, another about a MUD game.

[edit] External links

I am a regular user of Special:Linksearch. Some sites have the interesting property of being added to articles even when not necessary. Some examples are *.myspace.com, *.digg.com, *.invisionfree.com, *.youtube.com, etc. When my full watch list has been reviewed, and when not in mood of doing an editor review or improving an existing article, I review links to see which are not necessary. Forums are usually added, even though our External links guideline state they should not be included. Personally, if a forum has less than 500 members, I remove them. Same happens with non official sites that have opened a few months before, or with a very low amount of hits relative to its foundation. I add {{External links}} warnings when there are more than 5 non official links as well.
