Hello, and welcome to my userpage! I'm an archivist and programmer. I've been on Wikipedia since June 2018. My main editing focuses are children's literature and television shows. Specifically, the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, Arthur TV series, SpongeBob SquarePants, and The Simpsons. I mainly write plot summaries, but I also like adding reception or development information if I can find reliable sources. In October 2020, I became a member of WP:AFC.

Interesting articles

Projects

  • Get Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight to GA status. See my progress at my sandbox.
  • Review WP:AFC drafts.
  • Clearing out unassessed article backlogs. If you've got time, click here for an article to rate.
  • Adding short descriptions to articles. If I'm not familiar with the topic, I'll use the lead sentence, infobox, and categories to help figure out a good description.
  • Working on Category:Arthur (TV series) episode redirects to lists. Last done: season 18 (working backwards).
  • Removing citations to unreliable sources, especially TV Tropes. That one pops up a lot because of its "no such thing as notability" guideline. It's an entirely fan-run wiki made by random people.
  • Adding redirects for tracks on albums: have finished MEGA, Robot Face, Blank Banshee 0, Chronologic, and Panic.

Accomplishments

Plot summaries

  • SpongeBob SquarePants: This show doesn't have many episode pages, but the summaries seems a bit sub-par. There's been a WP:TV notability discussion, so I'll hold off on doing these for a while.
    • "Extreme Spots": I think the structure of this summary is a bit repetitive, but I didn't want to shrug off the entire episode either.
    • "Pizza Delivery": Turns out ESB had plagiarized this summary. I didn't want it to look like Wikipedia copied theirs, so I redid this one.
    • "Squid Noir": I don't think I described the comic store scene well enough and the opening is sub-par, but the rest is okay.
  • The Simpsons: A lot of this show's earlier episodes are GAs, so I use those as examples for rewriting summaries. I tend to choose episodes from seasons 14-18 for summarizing.
  • Diary of a Wimpy Kid: I loved this series as a kid, but I think it's been going really downhill since The Long Haul. These are usually more time-consuming, since I read the book as I type up the summary so I don't get any details wrong. I'm not going to make articles for books past Wrecking Ball since I've lost interest in the series. Currently, User:Microwavedfork has created The Deep End (thank you), Awesome Friendly Adventure is in draftspace, I don't think Spooky Stories will be notable enough for an article, and Big Shot has an article (although it's not out yet).
    • Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The original summary was just awful before I fixed it. It was exaggerated and the events were out of order. It felt like someone had read the book once seven years ago and wrote the plot from what they remembered.
    • Dog Days: Long summary, I'm not very happy with this one.
    • Hard Luck: I guess it's fine since it got GA status.
    • The Long Haul: Another long summary. I could probably shorten it, but I don't like the book.
    • Old School: Not happy with using an entire paragraph to describe the toothpaste cap incident, but I don't really know how to shorten it. I think writing like "a chain of events leads to..." or "things go wrong and..." is lazy and kind of frustrating. It's a major scene in the book that completely changes the direction of the plot.
    • Double Down: My original draft at this summary was awful, and I had to cut it down a lot. I think it's okay now.
    • The Getaway: Another one I think I did okay on.
    • The Meltdown: The original summary was Wikia plagiarism, but I'm glad with how I redid the summary.
    • Wrecking Ball: I like how I handled this one.
    • Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid: Rowley Jefferson's Journal: I dare say this is one of the worst pieces of literature I've ever read. The summary isn't good either, but in my defense, this was one of my earlier ones. Besides, this book is mostly a series of random anecdotes and doesn't have an overarching plot.
  • Other:
    • I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown: I think this summary gets a bit repetitive, but I am happy with how I wrote the opening line.
    • Garfield Gets a Life: Exactly one paragraph. This is another one that used to be plagiarized, but as I rewrote the summary, I noticed that the special doesn't really have a plot. A majority of it is just jokes around a central theme.
