Hello, I am Thaddeus from Columbus, Ohio (USA). I have been editing Misplaced Pages for a while now (and reading it longer), and have dabbled a little in many different areas. I have done some vandalism fighting, done a little New page patrol, offered a few third opinions, wikified some articles, de-orphaned a few pages, and participated in many AfDs. Of course, I have worked some on content creation and consensus building too. In most everything I have done, I have tried to "get it right" and handle the hard cases where help was most needed rather than just doing what was easier and quicker.
Overtime, I have found that the three areas I enjoy contributing the most are correcting spelling & grammar errors, patrolling proposed deletions to find article worth saving or transwiking, and writing bots to automate tedious tasks.
On July 29, 2009 I was promoted to administrator by a 117-2-7 vote. I am truly honored and humbled by the outpouring of support and look forward to serving the community in my new role.
A log of my proposed deletion activity can be found at User:ThaddeusB/PROD Log.
I have made over 200 improvements to RegExTypoFix and have written three bots:
- DeadLinkBOT which updates external links that have "rotted"
- WebCiteBOT which helps prevent link rot of citations by submitting most newly added links to Webcitation.org for permanent archival.
- WikiStatsBOT which keeps track of Misplaced Pages statistics requested by WikiProjects and such.
If you have a task you'd like to see automated, drop me a line.
