This user seeks and destroys vandalism.

Hello, I'm David. Although I created this account in July 2008, I've been familiar with Wikipedia since October 2006. I've been visiting for several years, but it was nearly April 2011 that I started contributing seriously.

I've participated with anything from: looking for sources, cleaning vandalism, articles for deletion discussion, newpages patrol, recent changes patrol, removing old IP warnings and random article patrol. If users have questions, I'll attempt my best to answer them. This user is being considered for deletion, you can voice your opinion(s) at User:GlassCobra/Editor for deletion.

I have started a page here with basic links that should help new users. As noted there, contact me at my talk page if that page hasn't answered your question(s).

My username is a random fusion of Swiss and twister.

		The New Page Patroller's Barnstar
		Well, it isn't really just a new page patroller thing: this barnstar (in this instance) is also for the simple business of regularly participating in deletion discussions (of new pages and not-so-new). Because we both know isn't so simple, and it is good to know that there are others consistently working on these things too. Mostly thanklessly. But not you, not anymore, because I offer my thanks. And a barnstar. Woo hoo! KDS4444Talk 00:38, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
