Most of my work on Wikipedia is related to the prevention and reversion of vandalism and helping new users get around the project. I am a Recent Changes and New Pages patroller, and get a fair number of vandal edits whenever I do go on patrol - usually at least once a day when I can. I also worked with Sebastian to update the coding on WP:UTM to include the tooltip templates he designed, to make using the vandalism warning templates and other frequently used talk page messages much easier.

I also frequently check the Help Desk and the {{helpme}} category for newcomers and the occasional oldtimer that needs a question answered. I help out whenever I can and will go out of my way to look up answers to questions I don't know. I might as well help myself out in the process, after all.

[edit] About me

I'm about to graduate from high school and am planning to attend UMBC on a full scholarship I received from them. My interests include photography, soccer, computers, science, and scouting. On the soccer end of things, I'm a USSF certified referee and officiate games in my local recreational league.

[edit] Some Photographs taken by me

Please feel free to use these images on Wikipedia as needed. These are some of the better examples of my work in photography.

[edit] Significant Contributions

As I said above, most of my work is done in fixing other articles through minor edits such as reverting vandalism and so forth - but I have made some larger edits to a few pages. This list is likely to be very short for a time, but I hope to lengthen it as time passes.

Template:workinp - A template for use on what I call "work-in-progress" pages - a sub-page of a user page used to save a clean-up or re-write of an existing article. See below for examples.
Liberty High School, Carroll County, Maryland
WP:UTM - Adding {{tltt}} tags with SebastianHelm to make use of the vandalism warning templates easier to do.
Aaand... that's it so far.

[edit] Awards and Recognitions

		The Working Man's Barnstar
		I award this barnstar to Hersfold, for the work you have put into the tltt tags for WP:UTM. It's a thankless task but it's a job certainly recognised by the project and permits visiting editors, unfamiliar with the warnings system structure, to easily navigate around the multitude of warnings. Keep up the good work. ^Khukri 09:01, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
