Welcome to my user page!

About me

I made my first edit to Wikipedia in 2006. Since then I have made around 30,000 edits, written over 100 articles, and contributed a few dozen "Did You Know?"s to the main page.

My Wikipedia activities

This user has created over 100 of Wikipedia's 6,920,522 articles.
This user has written or expanded 41 articles featured in the Did You Know section on the Main Page.
This user has been editing Wikipedia for more than 15 years (17 years, 11 months, and 22 days).
This user subscribes to The Four-Way Test.

I made the jump from "Wikipedia reader" to "Wikipedia editor" in March of 2006 when I saw a bit of vandalism and hit the edit button to fix it. Later that year I registered an account and wrote my first article.

I became an administrator in 2011, a bureaucrat in 2012 and a global renamer in 2014.

For a while I ran a bot that did various cleanup and maintenance tasks, but it is no longer active. I have a tiny bit of experience with Lua coding (I've written a small module to format my list of favorite article creations and expansions).

In 2011 I wrote Move Like This, my first article to successfully complete the good article process. I've also uploaded a few dozen images to Wikipedia and to Wikimedia Commons.

A list of the other accounts I have used for editing (mostly for bot-testing purposes) can be found here. You can find my editing statistics here.

In real life

This user is a video game designer.
This user is an On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences contributor.

I am a software developer and retro game enthusiast; the Atari 2600 platform is a favorite of mine. I even wrote a game for the platform myself a few years ago. As a regular reader and big fan of The A.V. Club, seeing them say nice things about my game was a dream come true.
