From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi, I'm gpollock and welcome to my page.
A little bit about me: I'm a student at the University of Guelph, majoring in Psychology, minoring in Spanish and Theatre Studies. I've been a heavy user and abuser of Wikipedia for a long time, but I just became a member on May 29, 2006. Before that, my nickname on Wikipedia was 24.235.240.95. It's not my favourite nickname, but Wikipedia thought it was funny, so I guess that's alright. My wikitime is kind of scattered around various projects and half-baked ideas right now, but I'm alright with that. If you have any comments, or any ideas about projects I might be interested in, or anything else, feel free to drop me a line on my discussion page. Thanks.
[edit] 500 Edits! Yaaay!
Well, maybe it's wonderful and maybe it's exceedingly sad, but as of 12:29am EST on July 14 2006, I have 500 edits on English Wikipedia to my name. The celebratory 500th was creating a redirect from Palmer, George Herbert to George Herbert Palmer. Yeah, it's not the most glamorous or exciting edit, but there it is. It was part of my on-going efforts on Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles, so at the very least it was a useful edit.
[edit] My Wikipedia contributions (My wikitributions?)
- Clone High: My first month(ish) on Wikipedia I was mostly involved in a substantial reworking and expansion of all of the Clone High episode pages. I also did some work on the main Clone High page and a couple of the character pages.
- Planned work: The rest of the Clone High character pages (Abe (Clone High), JFK (Clone High), Cleopatra (Clone High), Cinnamon J. Scudworth, Secret Board of Shadowy Figures, Mr. Lynn Butlertron, and the List of Clone High minor characters), as well as some work on the main Clone High page.
- Other TV shows: I've done some work on Undergrads and Scrubs.
- Planned work: Way more input into Undergrads and Scrubs, as well as work on Rick Mercer Report, Weeds, and maybe others.
- CanCon: I've done some work on the University of Guelph and University of Guelph-Humber pages.
- Planned work: More work on University of Guelph, as well as Stephen Leacock, Terry Fox, and whatever else needs attention I feel competent to give.
- Film: I've done some work on various film pages, mostly in conjunction with Wikipedia:WikiProject Films and Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles.
- Planned work: A lot of input into the articles about documentary maker Errol Morris, especially his film Mr. Death. Right now, that redirects to the article on Fred A. Leuchter, the subject of Mr. Death. I want to establish a separate page for Mr. Death, and work on improving both pages.
- Wikiprojects: A lot of my wikitime is spent on Wikiprojects, specifically helping out with Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles (which I truly believe is the most valuable Wikiproject anyone can get involved in). It tends to get me involved in working on a lot of random pages I don't necessarily know a lot about, and gets me creating a lot of redirects. This makes it kind of hard for me to just make a simple list of my contributions. Ah well. Other projects I'm involved/interested in include:
- Almost anything else anyone can suggest: I am more than willing to take suggestions for projects, pages, and anything else I might be able to give a useful contribution to. Please, feel more than welcome to drop me a line on my talk page if you know of anything.
[edit] Userboxes
Actually, I'm not sure I believe in userboxes. So, you'll have to take this instead. It's probably the best infobox that ever there was. Enjoy!
