[edit] Things I work on

• I mostly edit the RuneScape articles, usually vandal reverts, since it gets a lot, but I'm chipping in on the featured article drive where I can.
• SWAT 3: Close Quarters Battle - trying to get this to featured status too.
• Sussex (chicken), Marans and Rhode Island Red - the breeds some of my vicious pet hens.
• I've done a fair bit of illustrating articles, based on the theory that there is nothing worse than a dull mass of text. I've added images to Sussex (chicken), Dremora, Born-Haber cycle and a couple of others.
• I'm also thinking of helping out Deus Ex, Operation Flashpoint and Freelancer sometime - three old favourites.
• You may even catch me making copyedits (spelling, grammar, etc) to any article I find myself reading.
• RC patrol when I can get my rollback tool working.

[edit] Favourite articles

• RuneScape, and related - the MMORPG I often annoy people on.
• Stargate (device), and related - a favourite film, series, and concept of mine.
• Metalloid - interested as a chemist, and the subject of much ado about Bismuth.

[edit] Useful links

• Wikipedia:Vandalism - very useful!
• Wikipedia:Template messages and Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace
• ASCII
• Periodic Table

[edit] Images

Some of the images I have uploaded...

This is the first image I uploaded, of one of my hens, for the Sussex (chicken) article.

Second image, two more of my hens (only because one wouldn't get out of frame, grr!) for the Marans article.

A diagram of the Born-Haber cycle that I made.

[edit] Insane rantings

This week's interesting computer problem: none, for once.

[edit] Selected odd vandalism
