I'm Firsfron, short for Firsfron of Ronchester. I've got an absolutely ridiculous username, so feel free to call me Firs. I've been an active contributer to Wikipedia since 2004. I had made a few edits in early 2004 prior to officially joining Wikipedia, under an IP address.

I am editor #199 on the List of Wikipedians by number of edits, which isn't too shabby, I guess. I am an administrator on en.wikipedia.org. If there's something I can do for you, please let me know.

[edit] Articles created

Many of my edits have been to articles on various archosaurs. When I started on Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs, only a few decent articles had been created. That number has grown greatly in the past couple of years. You may also have seen me on Wikipedia:WikiProject Television Stations, on clean-up or vandalism revert duty, or elsewhere. I tend to get around Wikipedia. I've corrected many incorrect "apostrophe's" on Wikipedia. :)

[edit] Good and Featured Dinosaur articles

Here are some articles I helped improve. Most of my edits were very minor, but I'd like to think I helped these articles reach GA or FA status. Almost all the Featured dinosaur articles have been collaborative efforts, with a half a dozen editors working to bring these articles up to snuff.

List of dinosaurs (123 edits)
Psittacosaurus (7 small edits)
Velociraptor (55 edits +image editing)
Tyrannosaurus (98 edits +image editing)
Stegosaurus (141 edits)
Diplodocus (60 edits)
Triceratops (72 edits +image editing)
Scelidosaurus (86 edits +image editing)
Iguanodon (94 edits +image editing)
Compsognathus (69 edits +image editing)
Archaeopteryx (77 edits)
Styracosaurus (120 edits)
Deinonychus (56 edits)
Daspletosaurus (17 edits)
Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event (103 small edits)
Herrerasaurus (76 edits)
Lambeosaurus (31 small edits)
Gorgosaurus (13 small edits)
Massospondylus (160 edits +image editing)
Pachycephalosaurus (60 edits)

And not quite a dinosaur, but definitely extinct, and the only other article I have helped reach GA-status:

DuMont Television Network (317 edits)

[edit] Useful Tools

Interiot's JavaScript Edit Counter (Requires Firefox or Opera) A tool which counts the number of edits a contributer has made, in organized categories. It is a temporary replacement for Interiot's Edit Counter, which no longer works properly (see below).
Wannabe Kate A tool which counts the number of edits a contributer has made, in organized categories.
Duesentrieb's CatScan A tool designed to show category hierarchies, and list all the articles within them. It's highly useful for finding missing categories, and arranging articles by category. It also can be used to list very short articles by number of kilobytes, which is ideal for finding short articles.
Interiot's Contribution Tree A tool which shows how many edits a contributer has made to each article.
Interiot's Edit Counter A tool which counts the number of edits a contributer has made, in organized categories.
Alexandrov's MathBot A tool which counts the percentages of edit summaries of any given user. This was once used in the Requests for Adminship, but was also useful for any editor interested in improving his edits by being able to monitor his own contributions to Wikipedia.

[edit] Barnstars and WikiAwards

I'm really happy to have received each of these. The first three were awarded to me in April of 2006. I don't know what I did that month to receive not just one but three (Or perhaps I should ask myself what I was doing wrong all those other months...)! Thank you everyone.

The Minor Barnstar - For taking time to vote in a Request for Adminship, it's a minor thing that helps keep this site ticking. --Tawker 06:14, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
