'Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing.' —Jimmy Walessource

Background Bio
My real name is Alex, or Alexander. I'm twenty years old and a resident of Logan Township, New Jersey. I'm a graduate of the Kingsway Regional School District and currently attending Gloucester County College. I work full time as a professional auto mechanic and will be an ASE-certfied automotive technician pending completion of the two-year work experience requirement, having already passed several certification tests.

My primary areas of interest are computers, politics and government, law, history, and automotive/transportation. These interests are not often reflected in my contributions, as I am often heavily involved in site maintenance and article polishing.

Work on Wikipedia
I've been away from active participation in Wikipedia for quite a while although I never stopped using it as a resource. Recently I've again become interested in helping out a lot more, and plan to contribute much more in my spare time. I focus a lot on tracking down, reverting, and preventing vandalism, but I also try to make many proactive contributions, such as creating new pages, overhauling and wikifying current ones, adding images, and generally providing a smoother user experience.

Tools and Links
I use VandalFighter to actively patrol the most recent edits to Wikipedia. I also use Twinkle and Friendly to get stuff done fast.

Some additional tools and links I use to contribute are listed on my Toolbox page.

To see my to-do list, what I'm working on, or a collection of things that I have somehow made my problem, see my Notebook.
