Update 'cause I'm just so important

I've been working on a novel-length Law & Order story since February 2025, which has taken up all the free time I otherwise would spend editing Mortal Kombat-related articles. (1/26)

Me.

Damn, I've been here for a long time. I started out editing anonymously until July 2007, when my first major article edits (of Ronaldinho) were all reverted only because I was an IP. That finally led me to create an account.

Anyway, I'm a middle-aged squirrel who messes mostly with escapist subjects. I guess I could call this a hobby, but heck, so could a good chunk of WP editors. My style is normally saving Big Edits for my weekends and casual editing for all other times. That's why you'll often see me start a project and then not touch it for several days. I usually work on Mortal Kombat-related articles but I'll end up wandering into and tweaking some random article, then end up editing it again later for no particular reason.

Folks, please don't get upset if I wind up changing your past edits. When I perform extensive edits or cleanups, I first and foremost try to maintain the integrity of the article. I myself have had big edits that I worked my butt off on and thought were the cat's pajamas, hacked up by other contributors over time. That's just how Wikipedia rolls, y'all.

I have Meniere's, suffer from anxiety, and am on the spectrum. Fucking hell.

Misplaced hyphens piss me off. You've been warned.

		I just wanted to stop by and say what an amazing job you've done cleaning up the Cristiano Ronaldo article. It was filled with POV, coatracking, and all sorts of nonsense, and you cleaned it up and did a spectacular job of it. Thank you and well done! Vickser (talk) 23:46, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
