[edit] History

I first encountered Wikipedia in the spring of 2005 and made my first edit on April 24 by creating an article for Helen roberts (I must have hit "save page" before checking for typos). The article consisted of something along these lines: "Helen P. Roberts lives in Vancouver, where she was born. She has edited Wikipedia and manages a website of her own at …" it was speedily deleted. I tried again a month later (this time with correct grammar) and actually got a votes for deletion debate. The article was accused of being a "vanity page" and deleted (one user wrote, "I would advise the author to focus on her academic achievements, rather than plans and Wikipedia accomplishments"). On August 13, 2006, an article about a real Helen Roberts was created.
On a different computer with the IP adress 154.20.217.225, I made some well-intentioned edits to various Lost-related articles on April 13, 2006, however most were removed within twenty-four hours. From then on I constantly edited articles primarily of the Lost WikiProject. I registered for an account on June 10 because I thought that an account was needed to vote in deletion debates. I continued to use my "anonymous" account and pretty much ignored "thedemonhog" until December 10, when I switched. I made 1272 edits and I regret those not being attributed to my registered account.
I used to make smaller edits, basically just updating the Lost pages when new episodes aired. Since April 2007 I have been trying to get many of the Lost articles to featured status and am now the top contributor to the Lost WikiProject. I am also a Heroes WikiProject contributor and am responsible for the Project's first featured or good page, List of Heroes episodes.
On November 24, 2007 I was nominated by Epbr123 for adminship, however I only managed to get 69% supporting and was not promoted. People who opposed me said that I would not abuse the tools and would make fair decisions, but do not have enough experience in the Wikipedia namespace.

[edit] Future projects

All right, that was least active month on Wikipedia in a full year and I was down from my 2008 edit count average by over half. Let's just say that my "work" culminates annually in May and June. But fear not, for I will be back in full swing soon enough with FACs for There's No Place Like Home and The Shape of Things to Come (Lost) and a continuation of my heightened AfD participation in March and April. Yay! –thedemonhog talkedits 23:48, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Aw, what? I intended that to be my first edit of June. I guess I'm an extra hour off UTC due to daylight savings time. –thedemonhog talkedits 23:51, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
To-do list as of 05:01, 7 June 2008 (UTC):
  1. Expand reception sections for The Constant, Eggtown, Confirmed Dead, The Beginning of the End (Lost) and Miles Straume in approximately that order.
  2. Draft Martin Keamy and Frank Lapidus.
  3. Review some good article nominees.
  4. Expand production and reception sections and rewrite and/or copy-edit the plot section for There's No Place Like Home.
  5. Expand production section for Meet Kevin Johnson.
  6. Decimate and merge Lost (season 4) for featured list candidacy.
  7. Nominate The Shape of Things to Come (Lost), There's No Place Like Home and maybe one or both of The Other Woman (Lost) and The Constant
  8. Copy-edit Through the Looking Glass (Lost) and expand reception section.
  9. Draft Richard Alpert (Lost) and Mikhail Bakunin (Lost).
  10. Finish work at User:thedemonhog/Sandbox and replace Characters of Lost with its content.
  11. Rewrite and expand Daniel Faraday and Charlotte Lewis (Lost).
  12. Create Lost (season 5).
  13. Make this page more attractive.
  14. Get adminship.
