 ×42    'Hello! I am'

Welcome to my user page!

About me
I made my first edit to Wikipedia in 2006. Since then I have made around 30,000 edits, written over 100 articles, and contributed a few dozen "Did You Know?"s to the main page.

My Wikipedia activities
I made the jump from "Wikipedia reader" to "Wikipedia editor" in March of 2006 when I saw a bit of vandalism and hit the edit button to fix it. Later that year I registered an account and wrote my first article.

I became an administrator in 2011, a bureaucrat in 2012 and a global renamer in 2014.

For a while I ran a bot that did various cleanup and maintenance tasks, but it is no longer active. I have a tiny bit of experience with Lua coding (I've written a small module to format my list of favorite article creations and expansions).

In 2011 I wrote Move Like This, my first article to successfully complete the good article process. I've also uploaded a few dozen images to Wikipedia and to Wikimedia Commons.

A list of the other accounts I have used for editing (mostly for bot-testing purposes) can be found [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=newusers&user=28bytes&year=2011&month=-1 here]. You can find my editing statistics here.

In real life
I am a software developer and retro game enthusiast; the Atari 2600 platform is a favorite of mine. I even wrote a game for the platform myself a few years ago. As a regular reader and big fan of The A.V. Club, seeing them say nice things about my game was a dream come true.

Contacting me
If you think I've made an error in editing or adminning, please let me know! It's quite possible you're right. Or if you just want to say "hello," that's OK too. Just [ click here] to leave me a message on my talk page. I do not use any of the "real-time" Wikipedia platforms such as IRC, but I am available by email if you would prefer to contact me privately.
