Notable work

 * Hellraiser: Judgment Cscr-featured1.png (Today's Featured Article)
 * Leatherface (2017) Symbol support vote.svg
 * Jerome and Jeremiah Valeska Symbol support vote.svg
 * Professor Pyg Symbol support vote.svg'''
 * Halloween (2018 film) Symbol support vote.svg'''
 * List of Batman Family adversaries (Before / After) - I've been rewriting this one for a while now. If I do say so myself, I believe it has greatly improved since I started working on it, but I still have a long way to go. Rewriting and citing it is an incredibly slow process, as there are so many characters listed. My ultimate goal is to get the entirety of the article up to Wikipedia standards at some point.
 * Templates do not excuse citations - Essay on disruptive users adding "citation needed" templates with their own uncited claims to avoid it from getting removed. As someone who used to primarily monitor comic book articles for disruption, poor editing, and uncited additions (including a vast number of articles that had less than 30 watchers), this became common particularly for anonymous users who persistently added original research, refused to leave edit summaries, and who started using creative maneuvers to avoid being reverted. Another common maneuver was to use decoy citations (I.E. copying and pasting a random citation from somewhere else that has nothing to do with the claim being made). This sort of thing also sometimes led to IP-hopping to avoid detection and various games of "whack-a-mole". It definitely kept me on my toes.

Assist with getting Leatherface draft to FA quality

/Superman: Year One

Sidelined projects

 * Jigsaw (2017 film) - Lack of available sources and behind the scenes information. I haven't been paying much attention to it, now that other users have done a pretty good job of keeping an eye on the page.


 * User:Darkknight2149/The Onania Club - I don't think I'll have time to work on this. Moved to Draft:The Onania Club.


 * User:Darkknight2149/Child's Play (2019 film) - Similar reasons to Draft:The Onania Club. Nothing was really done with this draft, so I had it deleted.

Stray thoughts

 * Wikipedia's philosophy on incivility
 * Everyone's thoughts after staying at ANI for too long without taking a break.
 * Administrators who frequently work there should be commended, as it can be rather exhausting.
 * Consumption of Tide Pods - This exists. Enough people swallowed tide pods to warrant a Wikipedia article.
 * 1 in 5 Wikipedia Checkusers is a serial killer. Beware...
 * If you have ever considered using a decoy citation to disguise an uncited claim, don't. Really, don't. (Though in fairness, most of my experiences encountering this were from monitoring multiple articles without a lot of watchers from users trying to insert speculation/personal analysis without getting caught. Usually it was with random citations copied from somewhere else. IP hopping was also an issue. Always check the source to verify in situations like that.)

Recognition and accolades

Off-Wiki recognition

 * An article I worked substantially on, Hellraiser: Judgment, was seemingly helpful to the professional news site Forbes. In their review for the Judgment film, they prominently referenced sections from the article. It's this sort of thing that reminds us why we do what we do to provide a well-researched, and well-cited encyclopedia for thousands of readers. The Forbes article also goes on to say about the page, which is probably a testament to how closely I followed the film and the filmmakers in order to flesh out the article. I guess I'll take that as a compliment, though this is probably the funniest indirect WP:COI accusation you will ever see.


 * Media organisation Birth.Death.Movies also commended the work done on Hellraiser: Judgment (in which I was the top contributor), stating '''


 * I added a section to the Pyramid Head article after mining the creature designer's Twitter (which is filled with meaty information on Silent Hill), and he unexpectedly noticed: "I have no idea who wrote this portion of the article about Pyramid Head in Wikipedia. I'm so happy! Thank you so so much for emphasizing this point all the way!"Archive
