First things first...I am a SHE not a HE. Now, as per the notice at the bottom, if you see this user page anywhere but on Wikipedia, it means someone was insanely lazy and just downloaded the whole Wikipedia database, user pages and all, and are probably representing it as their own. Hit the link in the box below for the real Wikipedia and my real user page. :)
- My Latest Notes and Updates update
Recent work has focused quite a bit on Star Ocean EX, which included fixing the article name, adding lots of sourced info and removing some crufty stuff, and adding an episode list. Also been working on Tokyo Mew Mew, which included merging in three articles that shouldn't have been separated, removing a LOT of OR and fancruft, redoing the episode lists into one List of Tokyo Mew Mew episodes with FLC ready intro and format (just needs summaries). Also created List of Tokyo Mew Mew chapters, which needs summaries and copy editing before it will also be FLC ready.

Answers to common questions about my edits
Explain the assessment you made on this TV or film article
As part of both the TV and Film projects, I frequently make assessments on articles as part of the process of clearing out our unassessed article list. I normally do dozens of these at a times (current "record" is 50 in one night). Normally with these quick assessments, I do not leave specific notes explaining the assessments or needed article improvements. If, however, you would like me to explain why I assessed a certain article at a specific grade, I'm happy to do so. Just leave a message on my talk page, letting me know which article you are asking about.
Why did you give X article Y tag(s)?
Sometimes I stumble on an article that I feel has a variety of issues. I will usually tag those to bring attention to those issue to the regular editors. If its an article within my normal realm of editing, the tags also serve as a notice that I intend to address those issues. Otherwise, its a reminder to the regular editors that articles should meet certain standards and it will hopefully prob them to actually fix the problems. If I tag an article with a notability or unencyclopedic article, if nothing is done to address the issue, I'll either PROD or AfD the article. For merges or splits, no discussion at all is silent agreement and I'll do them myself after the tag has sat for a few weeks. Questions beyond that? Ask below and don't forget to say which article.
My Contributions
I've been a member of Wikipedia since 2005, however I spent much of my first two years doing only limited edits while learning the ropes and how things worked. In 2007, I felt like I had enough time and basic knowledge things to become a more active editor. I'm even number 1953 on the list. :P Feel free to check out my full contribution list to see my full editing history.
Highlights
- See also: User:Collectonian/Accomplishments
- See also: User:Collectonian/Significant contributions
This is some of the work I'm most proud off, where I feel I've made significant contributions and improvements to an article, as noted. Work may still be ongoing on related/sub articles.
Meerkat Manor - I've put in a ridiculous amount of time on this article, but after months of work that include creating episode and character lists, giving the main major overhauling, hours upon hours of research, and fighting with young enthusiastic fans, it became my first Featured Article! I may try for featured topic with this one as I continue working with it and its related articles
Trinity Blood - taken from very bad shape to clean up and bring into line with the Anime and Manga MOS. As the novels and manga are released, I continue working on expanding/updating.
Blood+ - did a massive clean up the main article, including adding references, applying MOS, adding missing info. It is now up to B class. I am still continuing to work on this as I add manga/novel info as the volumes are released, and work on production and reception information
Wolf's Rain - again, lots of clean up, added refs, adding some main sections including my first reception section. Currently B class but a lack of production details keeps me from taking it for possible GA and/or FA.
- List of Wolf's Rain characters - created, but still very much a WIP, in need of clean up, referencing, etc.
- List of Wolf's Rain episodes - started clean up on December 8, to add a proper lead, sources, episode summaries, and release information. Plan to go for FL after I get in the last eight episode summaries.
Articles/Lists/etc that I created
In general, if I care enough to create a page, I will usually keep a close eye on it to make sure it doesn't get vandalized or otherwise messed up. If it needs more work, I'll keep working on it as time permits and more info becomes available (as noted below). These are pretty much in order, so newest stuff is at the bottom.
Project work
This is stuff I've done to help out the projects I'm in
Actively working on
These are the items I am most actively working at the moment. Doesn't mean I'm neglecting other stuff, just that these articles are the ones that will most likely be filling my contribs outside of the usual vandalism clean up, etc.
- The Vision of Escaflowne needed some massive clean up per MOS, sourcing, copy editing, etc. Main is better, but still lots to be done and both List of The Vision of Escaflowne characters and List of The Vision of Escaflowne episodes are in pretty bad shape.
- Fushigi Yūgi, List of Fushigi Yūgi characters, List of Fushigi Yūgi episodes - hadn't intended to start this yet, but people want to rush a girl so now its pushing aside other stuff
- Lemur Street - taken for stub to start; continuing to expand as information is found and episodes are aired
- Lassie (1954 TV series) - clean up, expansion, referencing, and creating the insane List of Lassie episodes; for now, mostly letting someone else do some clean ups to the main while I deal with the episode list.
- Full Moon o Sagashite - clean up, get to FA! :P
- Star Ocean: The Second Story (manga) - clean up, expand, get as close to GA as possible with the limited sources available.
- Tokyo Mew Mew, List of Tokyo Mew Mew episodes, List of Tokyo Mew Mew chapters - massive clean up, remove NPOV stuff, source out, get to better quality
Marked as "Under Construction"
My to do list
Clean up, expansion, etc
- Escaflowne (film) - usual stuff and needs to be brought up to the same standards as the series
- Princess Tutu - another anime article with hideous issues...doesn't even mention the manga at all! Ugh...yep, clean up per MOS, episode lists, cites, etc etc.
- Cardcaptor Sakura - OMG...my favorite series has the most hideous article ever! *cry* Must clean up and beat into shape...CCS will be FA!!
- Tokyo Mew Mew - horrible NPOV issues due to fans glutting the article with OR and stuff on the whole 4Kids debacle; lots of work needed here too; would almost be worth it to just trash and restart
- Fruits Basket - clean up per MOS, add episode list, sources, etc (see Talk:Fruits Basket)
- Adventures of the Black Stallion - episode list reformatted per TV MOS, but still need to clean up and expand summaries and add in a lot more info like writer/director, etc
- From Far Away - mostly a stub, so clean up per MOS, add sources, add more info
- Ceres, The Celestial Legend - not as fancrufty as most, but needs a lot of clean up and redone to emphasize manga over anime (per MOS and Wikipedia guidelines)
- Kare First Love - total stub in need of expansion per MOS, sources, etc
- Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers - clean up per MOS, add some sources
- Garfield and Friends - clean up per MOS, list to prose, sources
- She-Ra: Princess of Power - massive overhaul and clean up per MOS, add missing sections (characters, episode list, etc)
- Silk Stalkings - clean up per MOS, episode list, etc
- Forever Knight - clean up per MOS, fill out character section, reaction, etc
- Gem Twist - I grew up watching this gorgeous horse jump, so if I can find sources, I'd like to give his article a much needed clean up...most of the show jumping horse articles kinda suck, though, so need to find some kind of model to use
- Mexican Restaurants, Inc. - expand more
- Central Park Media - did some clean up and added an infobox, still needs more done, though, and expansion
- Bryan Independent School District and College Station Independent School District - expand with resources from local materials found at the library
- Animal Planet - fix multiple issues, including undue US focus
And can't forget all of the film articles I plan to rework to get inline with the Film MOS and expand as best I can
Articles to be created
As time allows, I plan to create these missing articles
WIPs in my sandbox
These are the articles I'm sort of actively doing major work on, as time permits. These are being done my user page sandboxes before moving over to the main article because it allows me time to work on it slowly rather than trying to get little bits done here and there.
Merges/Splits to watch
Articles I've tagged for merging or splitting that need to deal with after appropriate amount of time. If I tag something for either and get no response yay or nay after a few weeks, I consider it a silent yay and do it.
Special interests
These articles are ones that are of special interest to me, but that I may have only made minor contributions too, or where my editing has been limited to mostly vandal smacking.
- Brazos County, Texas - home county, and my home cities, always have special meaning :)
- Bob Ross - grew up watching him and use his painting technique; his article is unfortunately frequently vandalized by childish idiots
- Blinn College - where I got my Associates
- Texas AgriLife Extension Service - well, duh! One of these days, I'd like to see that article have some like actual content...
- 10th Kingdom - absolutely loved this movie and was horrified by the hideousness of its articles, so started beating this one into shape as well
- Clinical Depression - as someone who deals with it on a daily basis, I'd like to see this article brought back up to standard
- Insomnia - another one that affects me personally with an article in much need of help
Userboxes I've created
Yeah, I've made a few user boxes too, mostly when I couldn't find ones I liked.
