[edit] Summary

I'm alex d rowe, aka Shadow1 (In true brian d foy style). My primary focus on Wikipedia is to prevent vandalism and spam, and also to develop code that helps others accomplish the same task. Recently, however, I've been getting back into editing articles and try to focus more on being a Wikipedia editor, not a Wikipedia programmer.

[edit] Source Code

I believe strongly in the Open source movement and the GPL. As such, the source code for most, if not all, of my projects is available on Wikipedia or various source code hosting sites. The only exception is AutoRevert, and that's because I can't be bothered at the moment to clean my horrible code up.
