From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm taking a short wikibreak due to school and will be back on Wikipedia sometime down the road. Most likely, however, I won't be able to keep away from Wikipedia for that long, and I'll probably be back a lot earlier while making some small edits every so often. Messages left for me may not be replied to for a while.

Welcome! I'm Erik, a Wikipedia editor who generally refines Wikipedia articles on upcoming films. Most upcoming movie news are web-based (with the exception of magazines' exclusive coverage), so I don't have to worry about digging up books at the library to back up my edits. Genres that I watch include comic book film adaptations, video game film adaptations, science fiction films, and some horror films. I also watch miscellaneous upcoming film articles such as Indiana Jones 4. Most films whose articles I watch can be found at my link repository.

[edit] Awards

		The Original Barnstar
		Thank you for your outstanding work on The Fountain (film). I went away for a couple weeks, and came back to find the article had gone from mediocre to excellent. Keep it up. --Ryan Delaney talk 17:57, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

		The Original Barnstar
		Thank you for your amazing work on Fight Club (film). I remember when this article was an unorganized mess and you have done an incredible job reorganizing it, putting in substantial info and referencing things. I was tempted to clean up this entry myself but I'm glad to see that you've done it. -- Count Ringworm 20:30, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
