About me

Hi there. I've been a sysop here since 2008, and was an oversighter between 2012 and 2019. Most of my substantial edits have been to articles relating to popular culture, which is a fancy way of saying "games, sports and music". More recently I tend to do stuff like adding references to biographies of living persons.

I follow the football teams of my hometown and my country (for my sins). I've lived in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2016.

You can get in touch with me by clicking here, hitting the "new section" or "+" tab in the menubar to the top of this page. If your request requires privacy, please feel free to find me on IRC (as "foks"), or get me via email (if you have an account).

I work for or provide services to the Wikimedia Foundation (as JSutherland (WMF)), but this is my personal account. Edits, statements, or other contributions made from this account are my own, and may not reflect the views of the Foundation.

DYK for Baths (musician)

On 14 January 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Baths (musician), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Baths' debut album, Cerulean, though recorded in his bedroom in two months, was acknowledged by "album of the year" lists? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Nomination for deletion

I have nominated Bloc Party discography for featured list removal here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured list criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks; editors may declare to "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 15:43, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

^^. Don't worry, if the items were done, I am willing to reconsider.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 15:49, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

yes you are right, but things like the charts I won't even start to edit. I leave it to you. The small issiues I will change, don't worry.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 15:53, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The FLRC is the right place to improve the FLCs. Anyway, that won't hurt if I put this list, will it?-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 15:59, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you know that the nomination will end in 20 days, do you? You shouldn't be nervous. Anyway, all issues were solved and this disco is now cleaned up. Congrats! Sit down and relax; I give you a nice cup of tea. Hopefully you like it; it is made of bird shit ^^.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 16:26, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I can end the nomination when I see fit, especially if it's a speedy keep. So let's try to relax. Thanks for making the fixes Fox, I would agree that FLRC in this case seems to have been a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:34, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A magazine with a long title

I have noticed some of your move-article edits. Awhile ago, I moved this magazine to its current title. I am wondering if this is too long for Wikipedia. If you think a shorter title is best, or if the former, shorter, title is better, then please feel free to do a move-article edit for this one as well. ---- Steve Quinn (talk) 23:50, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for James Blake (album)

On 15 January 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article James Blake (album), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that despite releasing three EPs in less than a year, most of the material on dubstep producer James Blake's self-titled debut album is brand new? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

So here we are?

..That was a bit rubbish. Anyway. I've only just noticed this, I'm going to give you a hand with it as soon as I've got a couple of other stuff out of the way. --^{SteelersFanUK06} AFCNorth2k10 04:22, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Saying that though, you seem to have fixed all the issues pretty sharpishly, so for now I'm just going to add Support and wait for anything else to come up. --^{SteelersFanUK06} AFCNorth2k10 04:25, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
