This is my home user page. I also have a general one on meta:User:PC-XT. All projects I have joined can be seen with SULutil or CentralAuth. All my contributions on these projects can be seen with Luxo's tool. I have fun here. Thanks. :)

Hello[edit]

So, after using Wikipedia for years, I finally registered! Then, I had writer's block. :P So, I looked into userboxes... Now, I'm Type A. :S

Contribution summary[edit]

I believe a balance of creativity, organization, and pruning are necessary. Though I am involved in deletion, I don't consider myself a deletionist. I prefer helping to save things from deletion.

Sometimes, I do all on the same page, as with {{Troon F.C. seasons}}

Amusing edits[edit]

What I've learned[edit]

  • Check for previous discussions that may look different before !voting
  • Preview talk messages before posting, even if they are relatively short, (not that all mistakes can be avoided, and I know I'll still forget to preview, sometimes, but I don't want to substitute a whole page of Lua into the middle of my reply. Haha. Escaping urls can also be a problem.)
  • Don't mess up the testcases! If something goes wrong, do a full revert to the last stable version and make sure the testcases are accurate before using them.
  • This is intended to be where I list lessons learned. There are more, but I'm too lazy to list them, now.
