Hi! My username is Eteethan, but you can call me Ethan. I joined Wikipedia in November of 2014, and made very few edits in this time. After I discovered recent change patrol in late October of 2015, I got right into Wikipedia, doing mostly janitorial tasks like reverting vandalism. Currently, I mainly Huggle, but I also New Page Patrol, and review AfC submissions, and I will in the near future begin to use AWB and start creating content.

Wiki-work
On Wikipedia, I mainly do, as mentioned before, janitorial tasks. The main thing I do is reverting vandalism, using Huggle, Twinkle, and STiki. Additionally, I do some CSD tagging, which means that I look for pages that meet the Criteria for Speedy Deletion (Attack Pages, Non-Notable subjects, Vandalism, etc...) and use Twinkle to put a tag on them telling administrators to delete them. As an extension to this, I review articles that people have put through the Articles for Creation system. I am just starting to create content on Wikipedia, and I have started using a confusing tool called AutoWikiBrowser. If you see me make a mistake using AWB, please immediately revert it and let me know on my talk page.
You have my full support! I came across Wikipedia bureaucracy before and it is the thing behind the fall of Wikipedia activity. You can read my full "rant" on my page but the main idea is that it is absolutely unacceptable for admins to even mention 3RR to users who fought vandalism. Yes it is easy and fast to brandish the 3RR around but it highly discourages anyone from fighting rule breakers ever again. Too many admins don't wish to spend more than 60 seconds on a case but too little will skip getting involved in things they can not invest necessary time into. The 3RR seems to be the most important rule outweighing even clear vandalism. But if you seek help of admins before reverting you have a 90% chance of getting rejected either under "this is a content dispute" or "insufficient warnings or attempts to talk to the other editor". The obvious nonsense of talking to someone who came here to blank content randomly does not strike too many. Report it and you will get rejected, take things into your own hands and you will get punished. So this barnstar is to encourage you not to give up, although I know it's a slim chance as most people do quickly give up. Thank you for making Wikipedia a better place!

Congratulations, Eteethan! You're receiving this barnstar because you recently crossed the 1,000 classification threshold using STiki. We thank you both for your contributions to Wikipedia at-large and your use of the tool. We hope you continue your ascent up the leaderboard and stay in touch at the talk page.
