[edit] 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.
[edit] Highlights

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
- List of Meerkat Manor episodes - created November 3, 2007 and now a Featured List
- List of Meerkat Manor meerkats - created November 10, 2007 and now a Featured List
- Kalahari Meerkat Project - cleaned up to remove the show fan stuff, still needs expansion
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.
- List of Trinity Blood characters - quite a bit of clean up and working on sourcing
- List of Trinity Blood episodes - started working on November 19, 2007; cleaned up the lead, expanded all episode summaries to proper length, added references, and took to Featured List
- List of Trinity Blood light novels - created for the series once they started being released in English, which made it start getting long in the main :)
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
- List of Blood+ characters - adding sources an hoping to eventually take to FL
- List of Blood+ episodes - working on episode summaries, and the leader; may split into four subs for each season after all summaries in place
- List of Blood+ chapters - created to split out the manga volumes as they start being released and summaries added
- List of Blood+ light novels - created to split out from the main as the novels are released and the section started getting long
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
[edit] Articles/Lists/etc that I created

There are only my ten most recent article/list creations. The full list has all of my articles/list creations, as well templates, categories, and userboxes.

- List of Tokyo Mew Mew characters - March 18, 2008 - created from stubified List of minor characters in Tokyo Mew Mew then completely replaced with much better list
[edit] Project work
This is stuff I've done to help out the projects I'm part of
- Portal:Anime and Manga took over the portal work since it was being neglected. Overhauled the front page and the system for doing featured articles and biographies. Removed the unused quotes and added a featured list segment as well. Looking much better IMHO. Is it sad that I want a barnstar? :P
- Wikipedia:WikiProject_Television - to help boost this project, I took some inspiration from the Film project and created these tags for our use: {{tvimage}}, {{Television needs production section}}, {{Television needs character section}}, {{Television needs response section}}, {{Television needs episode list}}, and {{Television needs synopsis}}.
[edit] 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.
- Tokyo Mew Mew, List of Tokyo Mew Mew episodes, List of Tokyo Mew Mew chapters - massive clean up, remove NPOV stuff, source out, get to better quality
- U-Drop Inn - rescued from being an attack article and now working on more expansion for an attempt at GA
- Lemur Street - taken for stub to start; continuing to expand as information is found and episodes are aired
- Star Ocean: The Second Story (manga) - clean up, expand, get as close to GA as possible with the limited sources available.
[edit] 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...
