First things first...I am a SHE not a HE. Now, as per the notice at the bottom, if you see this user page anywhere but on Wikipedia, it means someone was insanely lazy and just downloaded the whole Wikipedia database, user pages and all, and are probably representing it as their own. Hit the link in the box below for the real Wikipedia and my real user page. :)

My Latest Notes and Updates

I've wasted way too much of my sparse editing time of late dealing with various vandals, including one running an illegal bot who kept adding fake categories to articles, the annoying brat known as the DisneyVandal, and strange people who apparently decided Wikipedia was a game in how to be annoying. I did get to revisit List of Trinity Blood light novels to clean up the referencing and make a few tweaks. Also pulled out WP:AWB to add Cat:New Line Cinema films to replace the unnecessary and unmanageable list, and to do some WikiProject Films coordinator work to help replace oudated {{FilmsWikiProject}} templates on talk page with the current {{Film}}. I've started a peer review on Shojo Beat to see what tweaks I need to do to it to get it up to featured article status. I'm still doing my work with the GA Sweeps, after taking a short break. I've done five more, with two in progress, and one additional GAR to delist a falsely listed article (someone playing around).

Quickies: Last Holiday, Flu Bird Horror (little cleanup behind rescue efforts), Princess Mononoke (minor clean up), Nick Knight (minor clean up), Resident Evil: Degeneration (minor clean up)

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 April 2009, I'm number 105 the list (is that bragging rights or a sign I need more hobbies? :P). Feel free to check out my full contribution list to see my full editing history.

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 put in a massive amount of time into this topical area. When I started, the series had a single article primarily controlled by some young, enthusiastic fans of the series.[1] I first started editing it on September 28, 2007, initially just spot edits and vandalism reverting, but eventually I went nuts and gave the article a major overhaul. On November 3, 2007, I created an episode list for the series, followed by a list of meerkats on November 27th. All the extensive work paid off in the end though. On January 18, 2008, the episode list became a featured list. Meerkat Manor became a featured article on January 28, 2008, and the meerkat list achieved featured status on March 13, 2008. On April 12th, the trio became a featured topic! On May 28th, I started the article for Meerkat Manor: The Story Begins, the related film. It reached GA status on July 3rd and joined the others in the MM feature topic.

Tokyo Mew Mew

One of the few areas where I really have had good success collaborating with another editor. Together with User:G.A.S, this series has had a massive clean up across all of its articles. The main article was completely redone, with references added, the MoS applied, much missing info added, and a lot of NPOV issues cleared up. The page was originally in the hands of an editor now banned and other fans who seriously hated the 4Kids series and made sure it was well reflected, including inappropriately splitting out the English version from the rest and including WP:Copyvio links.[2] I made my first edit to the page on December 9, 2007. Over the last year, we have a ton of work on these articles. On March 9, 2008, I created a chapter list for the series. On March 10, 2008, I recreated the episode list as a single list instead of the NPOV split done to remove the Mew Mew Power episodes from the rest. On March 19, 2008, User:G.A.S and I began the lengthy process of discussing then completing the merging of the various Mew Mew character articles back to the main list. The series is now half way to our ultimate goal of featured topic, with the main article promoted to featured article status on October 16, 2008, the chapter list becoming a featured list on December 6, 2008, and after a seriously extensively overhaul, and I do mean extensive, that started March 17, 2008[3], the character list became a featured list May 20, 2009! The final peg, and the most difficult, of the featured topic will be the episode list. The lead has been completely redone, the formatting cleaned, and its now fairly well referenced. The episode summaries, however, are all over the place and its unlicensed status makes this a difficult issue to address.

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.

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.

1. List of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit characters - April 3, 2009
2. List of Fushigi Yūgi chapters - March 10, 2009 - split from Fushigi Yūgi
3. List of Sensual Phrase chapters - January 14, 2009 - split from Sensual Phrase with lead added
4. Hershey's - January 5, 2009 - a redirect recreated as a disambig

Randomness

Misspellings

This is just a fairly random list of words I almost always misspell when typing...thank you spell checker :-) (and yes, I did deliberately leave them misspelled for this list)

• manufactorer, manufactored
• occuring, occured
• independant, independance

RfAs

What are my general requirements to to offer support to an RfA candidate?

• At least 10,000 edits and active in project at least 2 years - likely indicators of experience and activity; of these edits, at least 5% should be to talk/user talk pages, and prefer 10% in the Wikipedia namespace showing activity around Wiki and not just some parts
• Already very active in the project, including recently - I fully believe administrators should be available on a regular, frequent basis; taking breaks are, of course, normal
• Demonstrable balanced personality and ability to deal with tenuous situations; ability to put aside personal preferences to follow, declare, and enforce consensus
• No blocks within the last year for any reason unless clearly seen to be a mistake
• Demonstrates a firm understanding of core Wikipedia policies, guidelines, and behavioral guidelines
• Demonstrable good use of tools such as Twinkle, Friendly, AWB, rollback (should have rollback rights or specifically declined to have it)
• No excessive/insane inclusionist philosophies nor constant political leanings/exposings; - administrators must be able to act neutrally in deletion discussions
• Not a self-nomination - sorry, but if you're a good candidate, someone else should think so first
• And, of course, general reaction to criticism/corrections, responses to the questions asked and comments that occur in the RfA, etc
