First things first...I am a SHE not a HE. Now, as per the notice at the bottom, if you see this user page anywhere but on Wikipedia, it means someone was insanely lazy and just downloaded the whole Wikipedia database, user pages and all, and are probably representing it as their own.

My Latest Notes and Updates

Happy to say Lad: A Dog (film) passed its GAN. Post Oak Mall looks on track to fail its FAC, though. *sigh* My editing over the last month has been really low. I finish NaNo and won for the first time! That was awesome. Still recovering from the mental push, I guess. Let's see, I did do some work on Carnosaur (series), merging in the less notable ones, removing some vandalism from the sequel vandal, and cleaning it up a bit. Did finally finish the Cardcaptor Sakura character merges, though the list still needs serious clean up and referencing. Probably the biggest thing I did was clean up Hughes Communications to remove some promo stuff, add an infobox, and merge in Hughes Network Systems and HughesNet.

Quickies: List of InuYasha: The Final Act episodes (continued cleaning up new episode summaries), Home Alone (merged in Home Alone 4 to the series article and did some clean up), Wish (MoS fixes), Short-Tempered Melancholic (reference formatting), Matthew Reilly (BLP clean up), A Serious Man (MoS fixes), The 10th Kingdom (clean ups), Serial Experiments Lain (a few quick clean ups per its on-going FAR), The Mysterious Cities of Gold (some clean ups and tagging for more major issues), and Aftershock: Earthquake in New York (shortened plot)

My Contributions

I've been a member of Wikipedia since 2005, however I spent much of my first two years doing only limited edits while learning the ropes and how things worked. In 2007, I felt like I had enough time and basic knowledge things to become a more active editor. So I have. In June 2009, I was number 96 on the list, and despite my editing slow down, by October I was up to 80 (is that bragging rights or a sign I need more hobbies? :P). Feel free to check out my full contribution list to see my full editing history.

Highlights

This is some of the work I'm most proud off, where I feel I've made significant contributions and improvements to either a single article or a set of related articles, as noted. Work may still be ongoing on related/sub articles.

Meerkat Manor

I put in a massive amount of time into this topical area. When I started, the series had a single article primarily controlled by some young, enthusiastic fans of the series.[1] I first started editing it on September 28, 2007, initially just doing spot edits and vandalism reverting, but eventually I went nuts and gave the article a major overhaul. On November 3, 2007, I created the series episode list, followed by the list of meerkats on November 27th. All the extensive work paid off in the end though. On January 18, 2008, the episode list became a featured list. Meerkat Manor became a featured article on January 28, 2008, and the meerkat list achieved featured status on March 13, 2008. On April 12th, the trio became a featured topic! On May 28th, I started the article for Meerkat Manor: The Story Begins, the related film. It reached GA status on July 3rd and joined the others in the MM feature topic. After two tries, it passed its featured article candidacy on August 25, 2009.

Tokyo Mew Mew

One of the few areas where I really have had good success collaborating with another editor. Together with User:G.A.S, this series has had a massive clean up across all of its articles. The main article was completely redone, with references added, the MoS applied, much missing info added, and a lot of NPOV issues cleared up.[2] I made my first edit to the page on December 9, 2007. On March 9, 2008, I split out a chapter list for the series. The following day, I recreated the episode list as a single list instead of the NPOV split that segregated the Mew Mew Power episodes. On March 19, 2008, User:G.A.S and I began the lengthy process of discussing then completing the merging of the various Mew Mew character articles back to the main list. After almost a year of work, Tokyo Mew Mew was promoted to featured article status on October 16, 2008, the chapter list passed its FLC on December 6, 2008, and after a seriously extensively overhaul that started March 17, 2008[3], the character list became a featured list May 20, 2009! The final peg, the episode list, passed its FLC on September 22, 2009, and with that the Tokyo Mew Mew featured topic candidacy has begun!

Post Oak Mall

When I first came across it, I sent it for AfD in January 2008, but it was speedily kept due to its size. Not wanting such a hideous article embarrassing our fair town, I dug in and gave it a serious overhaul, expanding, sourcing, etc. I spent a lot of time reading the Eagle archives in the local library, as they aren't available online, and expanded the history section a great deal. Over a year later, it became a good article on April 26, 2009 and its currently undergoing a peer review before I send it off to FAC.

U-Drop Inn

This article was originally created on February 20, 2008 as a NPOV attack article. It came to my attention on March 21st after I got involved with the Shamrock, Texas article through a request on the Texas Projects page about some NPOV issues. After discussing the situation, another editor cleared it of all pure BS and NPOV stuff shortly after midnight on March 22[4]. That evening, I spent three hours giving the article a much needed overhaul to actual discuss this beautiful buildings rich history, near demise, and current claims to fame. It became a DYK, and after many many many more days of research and writing, it passed its GAN on April 14, 2009. I hope to take it up for featured article candidacy one day.

Shojo Beat and Shonen Jump

I did a complete rewrite of these two, with SJ being started as a split from Weekly Shonen Jump. Did a lot of work sourcing both, coming up with a good magazine model to use for anime and manga magazines, peer reviews and eventually both became good articles in October 2008.

White Dog and White Dog

Huh? Yep, two articles on White Dog, the former being the 1982 film I first saw on late night TV as a teenager, and the latter being the original book by Romain Gary that it was based on. Both articles were in pretty poor shape despite, in my view, their historical significance. The film was a little 500 word stub[5] and novel's article was even shorter, only 155 words.[6]. I began editing both in January 2009 after White Dog was finally released to home video, and did some quick expansion and sourcing on both, garnering them both DYK's on February 1st and March 27th, respectively. I continued working on both, concentrating on the film at first. On March 5th, the now 2431 word, well-sourced film article passed its GAN. Due to its French origins, the novel article took a bit longer, and two GANs, but eventually it also passed as a good article on September 8th.

B-Movies to GA

I can't help but be a bit proud of my work on several "B-movie" articles that resulted in their being well-sourced, well-written good articles of the type that normally are doomed to permanent stubdum. Thus far, I've accomplished this with three articles: Maneater (passed November 2008), Grizzly Rage (passed October 2008), and Category 6: Day of Destruction (also October 2008). My lofty goal is to do this for all of the other films in the "Maneater series", and to also get Category 7: The End of the World to the same level as its predecessor.

Various novel articles

I've also worked quite a bit on some various article's on novels that were either stubs or non-existent before being worked on. Besides cleaning up and keeping a firm hand on the Gossip Girl and The Clique series articles, I've greatly overhauled Bambi, A Life in the Woods and The Fox and the Hound, with both now having DYK credits. The former is currently C class and needs a little more tweaking before a GA run, while the latter became a GA on July 7, 2009. I created the article for Wolf: A Journey Home, which is already a decent little article and one I hope to send to GA after some copy editing. Eventually, I plan to do the same "magic" on The Hundred and One Dalmatians and Bambi's Children, as well as create some articles for some of Albert Payson Terhune's famous dog books.

RfAs

What are my general requirements to to offer support to an RfA candidate?

• At least 10,000 edits and active in project at least 2 years — likely indicators of experience and activity; of these edits, at least 5% should be to talk/user talk pages, and prefer 10% in the Wikipedia namespace showing activity around Wiki and not just some parts
• Already very active in the project, including recently — I fully believe administrators should be available on a regular, frequent basis; taking breaks are, of course, normal
• Demonstrable balanced personality and ability to deal with tenuous situations; ability to put aside personal preferences to follow, declare, and enforce consensus
• No blocks within the last year for any reason unless clearly seen to be a mistake
• Demonstrates a firm understanding of core Wikipedia policies, guidelines, and behavioral guidelines
• Demonstrable good use of tools such as Twinkle, Friendly, AWB, rollback (should have rollback rights or specifically declined to have it)
• No excessive/insane inclusionist philosophies nor constant political leanings/exposings; - administrators must be able to act neutrally in deletion discussions
• Not a self-nomination — sorry, but if you're a good candidate, someone else should think so first
• And, of course, general reaction to criticism/corrections, responses to the questions asked and comments that occur in the RfA, etc
