My name is Eric, but usually I go by Robot Parade online now a days. The name comes from a They Might Be Giants song, of whom I am a "superfan". I'm also an active editor of This Might Be A Wiki. You can find more info about my story with TMBG on my userpage over at TMBW.

As for my real life, I'm currently a 20 year old music education major at Northeastern State University. I plan on being an elementary music teacher once I graduate while I prepare to possibly eventually pursue graduate studies. I've been in love with music for as long as I can remember, and now it's the main passion and drive in my life.

I joined Wikipedia a year ago, though I've only been editing consistently for about two months now. I guess I could be considered a puma at this point but who knows if the whole WikiFauna thing is even relevant on this site. I still consider myself pretty green when it comes to editing Wikipedia itself. However I'm very familiar with MediaWiki and its intricacies, working on various wikis (including TMBW) over the past 6 odd years.

• Most of my interests stem from my love of music. This includes:
  • They Might Be Giants, naturally.
  • Spanish Zarzuela (which I am currently doing my undergraduate research over)
  • Composers
    • Particularly Spanish and English composers, but I may sometimes review other pages.
• American football, specifically player biographies
  • Currently on-and-off working on User:The Robot Parade/Soul Patrol (Oakland Raiders), mostly doing the source-collecting side.
• Tulsa, Oklahoma, currently undertaking a personal task to de-stubbify many Tulsa biographies and pages that have been left dormant for years.
• Recent Deaths
  • Soon I also want to work with other WikiProjects such as Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron, or at least participate more at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. I think I need a bit more article renovation and creation experience under my belt, though.

I have also been enjoying contributing towards the Recent Deaths section of the main page. I've always been interested in how Wikipedia handles the passing of the many people featured in their articles. This was first sparked by me noticing the unofficial rule of changing the primary photo of famous actors and media personalities when they passed away. (Looking at you, David Lynch.) Since then I've been frequently editing pages to get them up to RD standard, adding as many citations as I can and expanding when necessary. Click here for my ITN recognitions!
