I have too much going on in my real life that editing full-time is only going to get in the way. I come on once in awhile (when I'm bored) and edit a couple minor things but nothing major. -Deftonesderrick


This editor is an Apprentice Editor and is entitled to display this Service Badge.

Hello, everyone! I've been using Wikipedia for years and started contributing to editing in early 2009. I created this username in late 2009 to establish myself as a legitimate user in the Wiki-community. I typically contribute anywhere from 10-50 edits a week.

I contribute mostly to plot summaries of video games, movies, television show seasons, and books. As an avid editor, I also do my best to watch for vandalism and misinformation and excise it as quickly as possible. My goal is to use my knowledge to help improve pages, especially their plot sections. Whether or not my changes are accepted, if it eventually leads to improvements, then I feel I've contributed.

Every page I contribute to, no matter how minor, I stay around and help revert vandalism!

Tip of the day...

Monobook skin has Go and Search buttons
Monobook skin, search box format.

Wikipedia has its own search engine, with its search box on every page. The search box will go to a given page name, but there are three ways to go to the search results page instead.

  1. If you activate the magnifying-glass icon (or the Search button) from an empty search box, you'll go to an empty search results page.
  2. If you start any query with the tilde character, it always generates search results, ~page name.
  3. Choose "Search for pages containing" from the page names that drop-down as you type (if you have JavaScript enabled). To access the suggestions that drop down as you type, click the mouse on them, or use , or Tab ↹, to access them.

At an empty Search display, there are filtering options for:

  • Content pages – Search in (Article)
  • Multimedia – Search for files
  • Everything – Search of all content (including talk pages)
  • Advanced – Search in custom namespaces
