[edit] Welcome!

Hi there, I started off on Wikipedia as a newbie, like any other. I soon became very interesting in Wikipedia and my 'Famous' time in Wikipedia started when I got a nice visit to WP:ANI. I got this 'visit' when I was reverting a bot's incorrect tagging of articles, which I learnt about on the IRC channel, #wikipedia. At that time, a few people on the channel were helping out to revert these edits, and by this time I had installed Twinkle which meant I was able to revert the edits more quickly. If you want to read more about my visit to WP:ANI then read this.

Currently, I use two scripts Twinkle and Friendly. Friendly was recommended to me by Ioeth after he saw how much I used Twinkle. I am also now using a wonderful anti-vandalism program called Huggle more about this can be read here.

If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to leave a message on my Talk Page.

I hope you enjoy Wikipedia, and decide to stay, if you would, please consider creating an account so that you can improve Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia even more! To all those eager IP and User Vandals: Before you Vandalise simply think! Why not turn over a new leaf and become a good contributor?

[edit] What do I do around here?

So you might be wandering what exactly I do around here on Wikipedia. Well, I help out in quite a few places:

  • Wikipedia:Request an account - Account creation requests, I help to create usernames for users can't create one themselves, or whose names are too similar to an existing account (when an administrator usually will created them)
  • Administrator intervention against vandalism - This is the area where vandals are reported to administrators, so if you vandalise your name might pop up around there!
  • Usernames for administrator attention - This is the area of Wikipedia which usernames that may require blocking because they violate the username policy are reported.
  • New page patrol - I do a bit of this when I can, click on the link for more information about it.
  • Recent changes patrol - I do this more frequently now, basically reverting vandalism. For more info, click on the link!
  • Wikipedia:Help Desk - The Wikipedia Help Desk is where users (or IPs) can ask questions about using Wikipedia. Feel free to go there whenever you need help. Please note though, for reference queries, go to the Reference Desk!
  • New contributor's Help Desk - This is similar to the Help Desk, but more for New contributors, i.e. Users.
  • Changing username - I have started to help out here too! This is where users can request for their usernames to be changed by Bureaucrats, for more information please click on the link.
  • Requests for Adminship - I wouldn't call this 'helping out' but rather keeping an eye on the page, and looking at RFA's from time to time.
  • Request for page protection - This is the page that users can report articles to be protected. This could be for many reasons, including the fact that the page is being vandalised or edit warring.
  • Articles for deletion - From time to time I also look through this, for articles that have be proposed to be deleted. Click on the link for more information!
