User:DocWatson42

Anime, manga, and science fiction fan; copy editor and wikifier—scourge of incorrect dashes and other punctuation, capitalization, and layout, and sometimes references, too. ^_^

If you are looking for help in editing, I'm glad to provide assistance, but you might start with this page's links.

If you find "Sig" being used for "SIG" (Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft, as in SIG-Sauer), please fix it.
