About me

Summary: I am a WikiGnome with claws.

I am mboverload. On Wikipedia I do minor things like rewording sentences, spellchecking, and fighting vandalism. Although I write extremely well, I only write for my own enjoyment and not generally for Wikipedia.

I am the creator and maintainer of RegExTypoFix, an automatic spellchecker for Wikipedia built-in to AutoWikiBrowser. It is made completely by hand and many users have used it to make tens of thousands of spelling corrections. It is completely open source and hosted by Sourceforge.net. It is my biggest project and probably my only legacy.

In addition, I am a developer of AutoWikiBrowser, but I really only do stuff like add in minor things like tooltips and making minor changes to the interface.

Fun facts:

  • Biggest peeve: Crappy school articles
  • What I spend the most time doing: Fixing spelling errors
  • First edit: November 7, 2004 to the Total Annihilation article
  • First person I interacted with on Wikipedia: User:RickK
  • First article: Administrative shares
  • First time a user made up a husband to challenge me to a fight: July 22, 2006
