User:Tsukiakari

I'm briefly back somewhat full-time for the following projects/pages:

• Charles Bucke: New information has surfaced about this author and I'll be working on incorporating it.
• I will be working on translating a series of articles from French Wikipedia over to English Wikipedia concerning the Le Coat de Kerveguen family. Links will be posted here as I create them.

I'll be around regularly again until I feel satisfied with the state of these projects. If you're interested in helping with either of these, please feel free to get up with me on my talk page! (6/21/11)

SPECIAL NOTE: I am, for the most part, inactive on Wikipedia. While what is on this page is not untrue, it should also be considered ancient history unless otherwise noted. I now make sporadic edits on extremely rare occasions and only when I feel something is in dire need of fixing and/or discussion. Comments directed at me should be left on my talkpage, but fair warning that it could be a seemingly impossible amount of time before I see them. Thanks.

Welcome! Nice to see you here!

I'm a member of Wikiproject Japan and occasionally deal with Japanese Rock music here on Wikipedia and am a retired veteran of the Gackt page, so if you've found your way here, it's possible you found me from there.

If you'd like to talk with me, please leave a comment on my discussion page. Please bear in mind that my activity is sporadic so don't bet all your chips on an immediate response.

Who are you anyway?

I'm a student in college majoring in Japanese language, but that doesn't mean my interests are limited to Japanese. I originally aspired to be an Egyptologist, but decided against it for various reasons. I live and go to school in the southeastern United States.

Interests

As my many userboxes say, I've got a keen interest in history, art, and literature- all the humanities, if you will. I also have interests in different languages and often times can become enamoured with obscure, rarely spoken languages I come across- one example being Basque . I've also practiced music for over ten years, so am well familiar with music theory and notation. I also enjoy world music, which is a perfect melding of my instrumental and linguistic interests. I like to attempt to write short stories as well, but generally can never finish them. I am an avid fan of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, so the Queen of the damned movie can rot in hell where it belongs- you don't sin against characterization of my Marius and get away with it. >_>

Wikipedia

Aren't userboxes just nifty? As you can see, I'm a part of WikiProject Japan and focus mainly on Japanese Rock articles, usually Visual Kei in nature since I find it a much more interesting and curious genre. I'm also a part of the Counter-Vandalism Unit for a few VK artist pages and whatever else I run across that I see has been vandalized. Thanks to my heavy involvement with the Gackt wikipedia page, I've become a bit anal about vandalism and won't hesitate to revert and report repeat offenders. I really think it would be a good idea to restrict editing to registered users only, but of course that would take away from the novelty of Wikipedia.

I love grammar, so you should, too. Edit summaries are also wonderful. I'm a native english speaker and have decent experience with french. I also fully read both Japanese kana scripts and about 700 kanji (yeah, I know that's not much, but I'm working on it).

Pages currently working on

• Gackt- I'm a former regular editor of this page. I gave up some time ago- one can only take so many fan girl revisions.
• Charles Bucke- Page I created. Oddly enough, since I originally wrote it, it seems there's slightly more information on the internet regarding this author than there used to be. Could it be due to this article? Perhaps that's wishful thinking on my part. Even so, I'm obliged to anyone whose interest has been piqued by this very obscure author, poet, and playwright and created new interest and research into him and his life's works. Who knows? One day, perhaps, his tragedy 'The Italians' might one day be performed again under the conditions it rightly deserves.
• Tetsu Takano- Page I recreated after it was deleted multiple times for plagiarism from a well-known Malice Mizer website run by user Flowersofnight . It was sparse when I started with it, but I'm pleased to see that some fans have picked it up and run with it.
• Marius De Romanus- my favorite character in Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. His article is poorly mismanaged by random fans who suddenly decide to rewrite the entire thing randomly. I'd like to do some serious work on this page one day, but I'd probably just be better off writing an analytical novel about him.

I once regularly checked the pages for S.K.I.N., Moi dix Mois, Mana, and Malice Mizer whenever I had the patience for it but have since retired. I'm also a spontaneous editor of occasional pages I happen to run across.

I also like to check in on pages relating to Farscape, as the show is a great passion of mine. However, I refrain from doing too many heavy edits there since the information is a bit overwhelming 80% of the time.

On rare occasions, I will check on some non-english counterpart pages on subjects that interest me and might make minor edits on them. Most recently I've edited the Japanese Farscape page for romanization errors on character names.

I'd love to work on the Doctor Who page, but quite personally I don't think I'd touch that with a 50 foot poll as I'm sure everyone is very finicky over it, haha. They're star articles as they are, so I'm sure they're in good hands.
