I am currently studying towards a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, with my major/specialty being gaming and graphics for the video game industry. On Wikipedia, I spread my time between combating vandalism, gnome-like work, reviewing Articles for Creation submissions and (occasionally) GA submissions, patrolling new pages/recent changes/other admin areas, and improving articles. Currently, I mainly work with Rolling Stones related articles, improving them to Good Article status whenever possible (future plan to improve a few to Featured Article status). Previously, I worked on improving, creating, and publishing sports related articles, resulting in the creation of approximately a third of the articles about athletes listed on Slovenia men's national volleyball team (as of 17 March 2017).
After having a future run for adminship suggested to me in October of 2017 by There'sNoTime, among others a few months later, I eventually filed a Request for Adminship on 9 June 2018. On 16 June 2018, the RfA was closed as successful after some technical complications. Later that month (29 June), I applied to join the Wikipedia Volunteer Response Team (OTRS) and was accepted.
Basically, I help out where I can and where my interests take me.

My favourite RfA of all time award goes to User:Xaosflux/Requests for adminship/Wikipe-tan, as it made me laugh aloud in a quiet library. |
