[edit] I am Feeeshboy
Greetings.
I am 27 and live in Manhattan.
I LOVE Wikipedia: I use it often for my job, and I frequently browse for hours just to learn things (okay, and I'm also hoping to try out for Jeopardy some day). That's basically why I decided about a year ago to become an editor, to try to give back a little. I am mainly involved with editing articles for grammar and improving the quality of writing.
My interests include pages on the sciences, geography, literature, and heavy metal music. I particularly like working on pages whose contributors have a great deal of expertise but can use help with writing and formatting issues. I also like pages on topics that are too mundane to have gotten much attention, like Mud and Wrinkle.
Right now, I'm insanely busy and not very wiki-active.
[edit] Personal Biases
I am politically liberal, but pretty open-minded. I take NPOV very seriously and am happy to discuss any edits amicably.
I favor the Deletionist [1] school of Wikiphilosophy.
I believe that Conservapedia is the biggest joke in the world. To suggest that there needs to be a "conservative perspective" on the facts not only flies in the face of thousands of years of human progress, but also seems to outright admit that Stephen Colbert was right when he said that the facts "have a liberal bias."
[edit] Projects
I'm a member of Wikiproject Grammar and will be happy to respond to any requests for grammar/flow and quality of writing edits.
I'm proud of my work with WikiProject Indonesia to revise Indonesia up to FA status!
I've started a few stubs, my favorite of which is L'Arroseur Arrosé, which is now my first stub to make it to Start class. I've also made substantive edits to Guatemala, El Salvador, The Faerie Queene, Sonnet 63, Archetype, Stock character, Bison, and Judah Friedlander, and I've fixed over 300 links to disambiguation or redirect pages.
In my sandbox right now I'm working on part of the History section of Guatemala.
