Overview

[edit]

I started editing and reverting vandalism as an anon on March 6, 2007, but I had been reading/using Wikipedia at least a year prior to that. A few days and thirty-some edits later I got this account on March 14, 2007. My niche here seems to be in reverting vandalism to articles, repairing links to disambiguation pages (although I don't really do that anymore unless I find one by chance), fixing spelling, and other small edits here and there.

Editors who are also me

[edit]

74.105.94.99 (talk) Me when not logged in (I have only edited once without being logged in since I created my account). Don't worry about the warning on the talk page, it was a misunderstanding with Martinbot reverting my reversion of vandalism.

This is my account at Wikiquote. I probably won't do much there.

On other websites

[edit]

At the xkcd forums, I am "The LuigiManiac" (it's a long story why LuigiManiac wasn't available, but I think it actually sounds better anyways).

At the Irregular Webcomic! forums, I am "LuigiManiac" (notice a pattern?).

Recent and Upcoming Events

[edit]

I...uhhh...can't find the Word Document that I put my password in. Might edit sporadically now, under an IP until I find that password. I still won't be on nearly as often as I had been when I first joined, but I'll at least try to come around every so often. --21:34, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Favorite Television shows

[edit]

I enjoy watching:

Favorite video games

[edit]

I don't have a Wii, but I do have several games for the Nintendo Gamecube that I like, such as:

My newest games are Sonic Adventure 2: Battle and Sonic Heroes (Got them on the afternoon of the 30th of March, for 20 Canadian Dollars each, I will probably be busy for awhile).

Progress on Sonic Adventure 2

[edit]

129/180 Emblems

Levels which annoy me to no end

[edit]

Radical Highway Mission 4: I cannot beat this mission. I simply cannot do the absolutely faultless run through the level that it takes to get an emblem. I don't even want to know how long it will take to get All-A here. I like the level, but there are just too many places to mess up to get to the end in 3 minutes. 03:51, 20 April 2007 (UTC) I am proud to say I beat this yesterday, apparently I was forgetting a certain spring in a certain section which shaved enough time for me to finish...with a C. I'll have to come back later to get it to A Rank. 21:18, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Created Pages

[edit]

Any pages I create will probably just be redirects. Still, this section will help me keep track of my created pages.

  • SA2:B (redirect to Sonic Adventure 2)
  • SA2B (redirect to Sonic Adventure 2)
  • Inventory items exclusive to Super Mario Bros. 3 Believe it or not, this is not a redirect, but an actual article. It started when I came across Hammer Brothers' Suit. I did a little fix up, and then remembered seeing the Tanooki suit article. No other items exclusive to the game had articles, so I ended up creating an article with the information from those two articles as well as new information on the other inventory items. I started in my sandbox, but have since moved it to mainspace. I don't know how long it will last out there, but I hope it is for at least a while.

Created Userboxes

[edit]

I have made nine userboxes so far.

  1. For readers of Irregular Webcomic! (here)
  2. For players of Chip's Challenge (here)
  3. For fans of Good Eats (here)
  4. For fans of Canada's Worst Driver (here)
  5. For fans of Canada's Worst Handyman (here)
  6. For those who liked the original Iron Chef better than Iron Chef America (here)
  7. For those who have a 5.1 speaker setup (here)
  8. For those who don't have a working sound card (here)
  9. For those who love bacon! (here)

My Sandbox

[edit]

I now have a sandbox where I am slowly working on "Exclusive Items in Super Mario Bros. 3" (note to self: find better name). When completed, it will be a complete merge of the Hammer Brothers' Suit and Tanooki suit articles, with new content for the other Super Mario Bros. 3 exclusive items. Done, and is in article mainspace. My sandbox is available here.

Edit summaries that make me chuckle

[edit]

Every so often I come across an edit or edit summary that gives me a little laugh. Now I will put ones that I find particularly funny here.

  • Here is one that I find funny solely because the first time I saw the name of that game, I thought it was somebody's idea of a joke. So did RattleMan, so I guess we were on the same boat there. I actually kind of agree with his edit summary.
  • Here is one from the Survivor Fiji page. Masem on the matter of trivia. Used without his permission, but I don't think he'll mind.
  • Here is one from Knuckles the Echidna. Grandmastergalvatron after a persistent Knuckles fan who won't stop adding false information and cruft changes around the character interactions section, omitting a character in the process. Used without his permission, but after dealing with this fan myself, it made me laugh quite a bit.
  • The edit summary is short yet powerful at conveying disbelief that vandalism could stay on an article that is in the "In the news" section of the main page for over an hour like that.
