[edit] Me

Hey, I'm Gran2, real name Alex. To begin, I am a male teen from England and my username is explained in a sentence below. Other than that I spend most of my time sitting around here doing not that much. If you don't understand my username I got it from the "Gran" race from Star Wars. My contributions tend to be doing anything I can. About 90% of my edits are in The Simpsons related pages, as I am a principal particpant in The Simpsons Wikiproject. I do profess a "great knowledge" of the subject, as consider it to be the best television show in history. I also work on several film and biography pages. I have been a Wikipedian since March 30, 2006.

My userboxes, and contributions will give you a better idea about me.

Sandbox 1, Sandbox2, Sandbox3, Sandbox4. Free-use The Simpsons images.

[edit] Substantial contributions

These are articles that I have edited substantially and as such I continue to look after and improve them. There are also many pages that I watchlist, but didn't do much work on them and so they are not listed here. How time flies, at the beginning of 2007 I had no achievements to my name, but now I have many. Roll on 2008.

Status Article Description Notes
Image:LinkFA-star.png The Simpsons Movie 2007 film, based on The Simpsons ‎Over 700 edits on this one; my favourite article, and what I think is the best work I've done here. Got from Start, through GA. Worked with Alientraveller; my fourth FA.
Image:LinkFA-star.png "Homer's Phobia" Season 8 episode of The Simpsons My first big piece of work, got to GA, then FA. TFA July 27, 2007. Bill Oakley says this page is perfect. [1]
Image:LinkFA-star.png The Simpsons Popular American animated comedy television series. After it lost its FA status Scorpion0422 and I cleaned it up and fixed all of the problems, and now its back. TFA December 17, 2007.
Image:LinkFA-star.png Troy McClure Recurring character on The Simpsons played by the late great Phil Hartman Built in my sandbox over about a week, implemented and it was soon a GA. I don't how, but it then became my third FA. Of all my featured contributions, this is the one I'm the least convinced, but who cares? Bill Oakley says it's perfect! [2]

Good article "Homer at the Bat" Season 3 episode of The Simpsons. Joint with Scorp, possible FA in the future.
Good article "22 Short Films About Springfield" Season 7 episode of The Simpsons. Pleased with this one, longest production and legacy sections I've ever written.
Good article Sideshow Bob Recurring character on The Simpsons, voiced by Kelsey Grammer. Out of universe rewrite with Scorp, he did most of the work.
Good article "Treehouse of Horror V" Season 6 episode of The Simpsons. Got this to GA, props to Buc on getting it to what it is now.

2006-07 in English football 2006-07 season of the English game. I don't know, FL? Resembles a list more than anything else. I keep it updated throughout the season, adding in kost of what is there, but don't have any plans for it. I've decided to work on Film and TV articles instead.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (film) 2004 film based on, yep you guessed it, the book of the same name. A long term past film project.
