About me

[edit]

My name is Alex and I am from Ontario, Canada. I joined Wikipedia on November 6, 2008, and have been actively contributing since early 2009.

What do I do on Wikipedia? Well, the main area of articles I edit are for my favourite TV shows and their related articles. I aim to keep all the articles on my watchlist in top shape, which includes making edits consisting of:

  • Reverting vandalism
  • Fixing issues regarding maintenance tags
  • Formatting references
  • Keeping articles up-to-date
  • Expanding articles with new content
  • Copyediting
  • Maintaining the quality of the article

Barnstars and achievements

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
Thank you so much for helping me with my Veronica Mars episode articles and being so nice about it! Now that I'm done with season one, I thought it it would be appropriate to send a little appreciation for your work! :) BenLinus1214talk 16:31, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
I don't believe that I've ever really thanked you for all your edits that you've contributed to many, many articles over the years; I really appreciate you having my back when I make a mistake or accidentally include typos in my edits. You are invaluable to this community, and you should be recognized for your fine contributions!--Gen. Quon (Talk) 17:50, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
The Friendship Barnstar
Nice to meet you. I see you are a Survivor fan. Me too. Also, as a fan of Saul's I appreciate your fine tuning of his article. Just now, I made some changes (3) to the "Plot" not of your edits but of someone elses because I think the scenes were not interpreted correctly. In the past, I have participated in episode descriptions at various seasons of Survivor, Big Brother, The Amazing Race and other smaller shows. I know heads can butt over what happens and what editors "think happens". I'm a collaborator and not hard-line in my interpretations. But, I think the article episode summaries should only report what happens and not try to second guess the writers or try to "imaginatively create" what a reality player is planning. I just wanted to touch base with you when I saw on your User page what an avid TV viewer you are. Take Care, Buster Seven Talk 14:36, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
thanks for correcting the spelling mistakes of my contributions to 24 and prison break. it's good for an article to have a guardian. HamedH94 (talk) 08:35, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
