Welcome to my userpage! Feel free to look around, on this page and the subpages linked below. When you're done, you can leave your signature in my ]. Thanks!


Misplaced Pages has been a center-point of my online world for fourteen years out of its present 20 years of existence. When I first came to edit here in 2007, I possessed an eager desire to contribute to this global resource, but being a part of this ongoing project has increased in its importance to me since then; far more than I could ever have anticipated. Every time I do even the smallest thing to make it a better encyclopedia than it already was, I feel like I've just won a globally-regarded prize!
I'm afraid I haven't got much else to say, other than that there were thousands of problems I saw with the articles related to South Park, alone. I've already repaired a few of them, and you can read about a few of the ones I still want to have fixed up in the discussion threads.

Did I mention I'm glad to be here again, since Misplaced Pages banned the right of editing without an account.

}}I began editing Misplaced Pages as an anonymous user in January 2007, and became a registered editor on June 16th that same year. My typical contributions have changed over the years since then; I have covered a wide variety of fields with varying degrees of investment of my time, and have generally been a somewhat hyphenate editor. In the modern era, I usually can only make time to contribute to the ] backlog elimination drives and blitzes, and have previously worked extensively on other community drives, such as the ] and ]s. For many years my main focus was on article creation, and frequently the development of articles, predominantly the ones I myself had started up. I have also periodically reviewed ] and ] the former especially during their ] (surprise-surprise!) or during the ]. I am also a qualified online ambassador, though I've been out of practice for a while. If you're new and interested, however, ]


These days especially, I am prone to taking long wikibreaks without warning or notice,<ref>Bear in mind, "long" for me can refer to a day or more; courtesy of my most virtuous impatience-to-spare.</ref> due to outside commitments. Even when I am on Misplaced Pages, I am very engrossed in whatever I'm doing, so it may take a while before I reply to messages; some might even go unnoticed for months, it's happened once... Or twice... Actually, quite a few times. :} My apologies in advance for such occurrences.

==Other things relating to Misplaced Pages==
*''']''' - The ever-lengthening, winding, overall perilous-to-tread (just kidding) corridor which houses the memorabilia of previous methods I've employed to present myself when engaged in communication with other Wikipedians.
*''']''' - Simply a collection of things given to me by other users. I find it amazing that nobody's given me the finger yet...
*''']''' - A list comprising all of the milestones I've experienced here, including promotions for me or my child-articles, and the like.


==Sandboxes==
Prior to the creation of the first of these sandboxes, I had to use the official ] if I wanted to work on potential articles, or if I wanted to experiment with some editing technique. It could grow pretty tiresome at times, since that sandbox receives so much traffic; you never knew when an edit conflict could destroy all your efforts. So when I observed that a lot of other users make their own, personal sandboxes out of user subpages, I got the great idea to do the same for myself! After I had used the first of my sandboxes for everything a sandbox can do, for some time, I began to realize it would be much more convenient to have multiple sandboxes, because then if a project I was working on came to some form of lull, I could move on to the next without waiting for the "lull" to conclude. So I decided to devote the first sandbox exclusively to writing out drafts for future articles on award-winning members of the film and television industry listed at the ], and "invest" in another one.<ref>I will make note, for those who have not yet made their own sandboxes and are looking to do so, that it does not actually cost anything except a few seconds or more, but it sounds more professional to call it "investing".</ref> This second sandbox soon became the one I used for working on extinct animal/plant articles. Time went on, and I decided, since I was then actively reviewing ] submissions (in the old-fashioned way, when all submissions for a particular day were listed on one page, and the reviewers created the accepted submissions for the writers), that I should have one in which to list AFC suggestions I was not sure about, before asking more experienced users for their opinions.


As these three projects have long since fallen out of my editing habits, these "assignments" no longer apply to the sandboxes. Mostly I just use them for whatever form of editing I want to practice, or for holding links, lists, formulas, and things I want to remember. The closest to the original applications that any of these get is the fourth sandbox, which I created some time ago when the user profile links in the top right corner of the screen began including a default sandbox, so it wouldn't be redlinked.

* at South Park Wiki - This is the first wiki at Wikia that I participated in developing. It perhaps constitutes one of my most notable contributions to Wikia.
* at Land Before Time Wiki - I'm sure, however, that this wiki is indeed my ''most'' notable project in Wikia; while I worked there I got it spotlighted 4 times and made over 7000 contributions, not counting logs.
* at Iggy Arbuckle Wiki - My first foundation in Wikia; I had said in Misplaced Pages that I was going to do it since late 2007, and in November 2008 I finally got around to it.
* at Arthur Wiki - Another wiki I was fairly active in.
* at Magic School Bus Wiki - I "adopted" this wiki in early February 2010, and tried to build it up during the rest of the time I was with Wikia.
* at Little Bear Wiki - Another wiki I worked on expanding, and succeeded in "adopting" in early May, 2010. The reason why I left Wikia to return full-time to Misplaced Pages is that Wikia one day began becoming less like an encyclopedic network and more like a social networking site.

  • An interesting pic of mine, I thought.

I began editing Misplaced Pages as an anonymous user in January 2007, and became a registered editor on June 16th that same year. My typical contributions have changed over the years since then; I have covered a wide variety of fields with varying degrees of investment of my time, and have generally been a somewhat hyphenate editor. In the modern era, I usually can only make time to contribute to the Guild of Copyeditors' backlog elimination drives and blitzes, and have previously worked extensively on other community drives, such as the Wikification and Great Misplaced Pages Backlog drives. For many years my main focus was on article creation, and frequently the development of articles, predominantly the ones I myself had started up. I have also periodically reviewed good article and Did you know nominees, the former especially during their backlog drives (surprise-surprise!) or during the WikiCup games. I am also a qualified online ambassador, though I've been out of practice for a while. If you're new and interested, however, you know where to go!

These days especially, I am prone to taking long wikibreaks without warning or notice, due to outside commitments. Even when I am on Misplaced Pages, I am very engrossed in whatever I'm doing, so it may take a while before I reply to messages; some might even go unnoticed for months, it's happened once... Or twice... Actually, quite a few times. :} My apologies in advance for such occurrences.

Sandboxes

Prior to the creation of the first of these sandboxes, I had to use the official Misplaced Pages:Sandbox if I wanted to work on potential articles, or if I wanted to experiment with some editing technique. It could grow pretty tiresome at times, since that sandbox receives so much traffic; you never knew when an edit conflict could destroy all your efforts. So when I observed that a lot of other users make their own, personal sandboxes out of user subpages, I got the great idea to do the same for myself! After I had used the first of my sandboxes for everything a sandbox can do, for some time, I began to realize it would be much more convenient to have multiple sandboxes, because then if a project I was working on came to some form of lull, I could move on to the next without waiting for the "lull" to conclude. So I decided to devote the first sandbox exclusively to writing out drafts for future articles on award-winning members of the film and television industry listed at the Internet Movie Database, and "invest" in another one. This second sandbox soon became the one I used for working on extinct animal/plant articles. Time went on, and I decided, since I was then actively reviewing AFC submissions (in the old-fashioned way, when all submissions for a particular day were listed on one page, and the reviewers created the accepted submissions for the writers), that I should have one in which to list AFC suggestions I was not sure about, before asking more experienced users for their opinions.

As these three projects have long since fallen out of my editing habits, these "assignments" no longer apply to the sandboxes. Mostly I just use them for whatever form of editing I want to practice, or for holding links, lists, formulas, and things I want to remember. The closest to the original applications that any of these get is the fourth sandbox, which I created some time ago when the user profile links in the top right corner of the screen began including a default sandbox, so it wouldn't be redlinked.

Picture of the day Cathedral of La Laguna The Cathedral of La Laguna is a Roman Catholic church in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, on the Spanish island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands. The church was designated a cathedral in 1818 and is the seat of the Diocese of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, which includes the islands of Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. The current building was constructed between 1904 and 1915 to replace an earlier building begun in 1515. The cathedral is located in the historic centre of La Laguna and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1999 by UNESCO. It contains elements of several architectural styles and is noted for its Neoclassical facade, inspired by Pamplona Cathedral, as well as its dome, which stands out prominently in the city landscape. In the cathedral lie the remains of Alonso Fernández de Lugo, the conqueror of the island and founder of the La Laguna. This photograph shows one of the side chapels of the Cathedral of La Laguna, with a 6-metre-tall (20 ft) gilded reredos behind the altar. Constructed in the Baroque style in the first half of the 18th century, the reredos is the largest in the Canary Islands. The chapel is dedicated to the Virgin of Los Remedios, whose statue is in the central niche behind the altar. The reredos features seven paintings, attributed to Hendrick van Balen, depicting scenes from the lives of Jesus and Mary.Photograph credit: Diego Delso Archive – More featured pictures...

Notes and references

  1. Bear in mind, "long" for me can refer to a day or more; courtesy of my most virtuous impatience-to-spare.
  2. I will make note, for those who have not yet made their own sandboxes and are looking to do so, that it does not actually cost anything except a few seconds or more, but it sounds more professional to call it "investing".

  • User:Wilhelmina Will at Magic School Bus Wiki - I "adopted" this wiki in early February 2010, and tried to build it up during the rest of the time I was with Wikia.
  • User:Wilhelmina Will at Little Bear Wiki - Another wiki I worked on expanding, and succeeded in "adopting" in early May, 2010. The reason why I left Wikia to return full-time to Misplaced Pages is that Wikia one day began becoming less like an encyclopedic network and more like a social networking site.
