First things first...I am a SHE not a HE. Now, as per the notice at the bottom, if you see this user page anywhere but on Wikipedia, it means someone was insanely lazy and just downloaded the whole Wikipedia database, user pages and all, and are probably representing it as their own.

- My Latest Notes and Updates update
Finally finished the last bit I needed to get written and sourced for Tokyo Mew Mew, so it is now up for peer review. Hope it goes better than the last one, cause mostly PR seems to get no answers anymore. Another of the big merges for the Tokyo Mew Mew character list done, though not sure its as good as the others. The other editor who was copyediting after me seems to be on hiatus at the moment. Beyond that, put two anime GAs on 2 week notice for future delisting if major GAC violations are not fixed. I should join the Sweeps task force :P Still haven't gotten to going the NHRP docs for U-Drop. Working on an article for the MM movie to try and get done, copyedited and up to GA or FA to go in the Meerkat Manor featured topic

Answers to common questions about my edits
Explain the assessment you made on this TV or film article
As part of both the TV and Film projects, I frequently make assessments on articles as part of the process of clearing out our unassessed article list. I normally do dozens of these at a times (current "record" is 50 in one night). Normally with these quick assessments, I do not leave specific notes explaining the assessments or needed article improvements. If, however, you would like me to explain why I assessed a certain article at a specific grade, I'm happy to do so. Just leave a message on my talk page, letting me know which article you are asking about.
Why did you give X article Y tag(s)?
Sometimes I stumble on an article that I feel has a variety of issues. I will usually tag those to bring attention to those issue to the regular editors. If its an article within my normal realm of editing, the tags also serve as a notice that I intend to address those issues. Otherwise, its a reminder to the regular editors that articles should meet certain standards and it will hopefully prob them to actually fix the problems. If I tag an article with a notability or unencyclopedic article, if nothing is done to address the issue, I'll either PROD or AfD the article. For merges or splits, no discussion at all is silent agreement and I'll do them myself after the tag has sat for a few weeks. Questions beyond that? Ask below and don't forget to say which article.
Why did you change the reflist tag in an article to the references one, or visa versa?
While some editors automatically use {{reflist}} in an article because it makes references smaller, it really shouldn't be used by default. <references /> should really be the first used. Per Wikipedia:FN#Resizing references, when there are at least 10 references, then {{reflist}} can be used to make the list of references smaller. Per my own reasoning, when there are at least 20 well-formatted references, then {{reflist}} can be changed to {{reflist|2}} so FireFox users see a two-column list.
What does "wikibonked" mean?
Wikibonked is a twisted on the term for athletes when they "hit the wall" and start losing their energy and become fatigued. For wikibonked, it usually means you've hit your editing wall, and while you want to make edits, your brain refuses to comply and produce the writing you are wanting to put forth. For me specifically, I'm wikibonked if I look at my to do list or updates, go to do an expansion or reword, and find myself just staring at the article with nothing coming to mind and I'm unable to work up the energy to go find references, write up prose, etc. When I'm bonked, I mostly stick to monitoring articles in my watchlist (and smacking vandals as needed), keeping up with any FAC/FLC/GA and delistings I'm part of, tagging articles for issues, CSDing/prodding/XfDing/merge suggesting as needed, and participating in various discussions. I'm always still ready to help answer questions and the like. I just won't be doing much major editing/writing beyond maybe basic MoS fixes or minor tweaks. Such a bonk usually doesn't last a long time, just need to give the writer in me a mental holiday from producing thousands of words. :)
My Contributions
I've been a member of Wikipedia since 2005, however I spent much of my first two years doing only limited edits while learning the ropes and how things worked. In 2007, I felt like I had enough time and basic knowledge things to become a more active editor. So I have. As of March 2008, I'm number 1018 the list (is that bragging rights or sign I need more hobbies? :P). Feel free to check out my full contribution list to see my full editing history.
Highlights

- See also: User:Collectonian/Significant contributions
This is some of the work I'm most proud off, where I feel I've made significant contributions and improvements to an article, as noted. Work may still be ongoing on related/sub articles.
Meerkat Manor - I've put in a ridiculous amount of time on this article, but after months of work that include creating episode and character lists, giving the main major overhauling, hours upon hours of research, and fighting with young enthusiastic fans, it became my first Featured Article! I may try for featured topic with this one as I continue working with it and its related articles
Trinity Blood - taken from very bad shape to clean up and bring into line with the Anime and Manga MOS. As the novels and manga are released, I continue working on expanding/updating.
Blood+ - did a massive clean up the main article, including adding references, applying MOS, adding missing info. It is now up to B class. I am still continuing to work on this as I add manga/novel info as the volumes are released, and work on production and reception information
Wolf's Rain - again, lots of clean up, added refs, adding some main sections including my first reception section. Currently B class but a lack of production details keeps me from taking it for possible GA and/or FA.
- List of Wolf's Rain characters - created, but still very much a WIP, in need of clean up, referencing, etc.
- List of Wolf's Rain episodes - started clean up on December 8, to add a proper lead, sources, episode summaries, and release information. Plan to go for FL after I get in the last eight episode summaries.
Tokyo Mew Mew - insanely massive clean up the main article, including adding references, applying MOS, adding missing info, killing off a ton of excessive splits, etc. It is now up to B class and working to get it ready for peer review and hopeful GA or FA.
- List of Tokyo Mew Mew characters - my first extensive character list overhaul, and I do mean extensive. Massive referencing done, including the very slow, painful process of merging in the individual character articles one by one, by consensus. Its been hard work, even sent me into a wikibonk state, but its also very rewarding. I look forward to taking this one to FLC after the last merges are done, and a peer review and copy editing completed.
- List of Tokyo Mew Mew chapters - created and filled out. Almost ready for FLC, just need the last two summaries, peer review, and copy editing
- List of Tokyo Mew Mew episodes - massive lead overhaul, cleaned up the format, and added refs; a lot of episode summaries missing, though, and with it unlicensed, watching to fix is difficult

Project work
This is stuff I've done to help out the projects I'm part of
Actively working on
- See also: User:Collectonian/My ToDo
These are the items I am most actively working at the moment. Doesn't mean I'm neglecting other stuff, just that these articles are the ones that will most likely be filling my contribs outside of the usual vandalism clean up, etc.
Special interests
These articles are ones that are of special interest to me, but that I may have only made minor contributions too, or where my editing has been limited to mostly vandal smacking.
- Brazos County, Texas - home county, and my home cities, always have special meaning :)
- Bob Ross - grew up watching him and use his painting technique; his article is unfortunately frequently vandalized by childish idiots
- Texas AgriLife Extension Service - well, duh! One of these days, I'd like to see that article have some like actual content...
