    This is my home user page. I also have a general one on meta:User:PC-XT. All projects I have joined can be seen with SULutil or CentralAuth. All my contributions on these projects can be seen with Luxo's tool. I have fun here. Thanks. :)

    Hello

    So, after using Wikipedia for years, I finally registered! Then, I had writer's block. :P So, I looked into userboxes... Now, I'm Type A. :S

    Contribution summary

    I believe a balance of creativity, organization, and pruning are necessary. Though I am involved in deletion, I don't consider myself a deletionist. I prefer helping to save things from deletion.

    Sometimes, I do all on the same page, as with {{Troon F.C. seasons}}

    Amusing edits

    • Special:Diff/599468956 and edits leading up to it (It looks like this is common enough to be automatically fixed by a bot: Special:Diff/591200695)
    • My favorite April Fools' Day edit for 2014
    • Spidersmilk gave me a link to this hoax edit about not drinking Lake Michigan.

    What I've learned

    • Check for previous discussions that may look different before !voting
    • Preview talk messages before posting, even if they are relatively short, (not that all mistakes can be avoided, and I know I'll still forget to preview, sometimes, but I don't want to substitute a whole page of Lua into the middle of my reply. Haha. Escaping urls can also be a problem.)
    • Don't mess up the testcases! If something goes wrong, do a full revert to the last stable version and make sure the testcases are accurate before using them.
    • This is intended to be where I list lessons learned. There are more, but I'm too lazy to list them, now.
