Psyphics is the screenname of wikipedian Joshua Newton. If you take issue with any of my edits, air your thoughts on my talk page. I tend to edit at work, so I cannot do exhaustive edits without appearing to be wasting work time.

Interests/Projects

 * Comics - for character article template see this guideline
 * Literary present tense - There are a vast number of Wikipedia comics articles that need extensive copy-editing. Any biography, origin story, or history of a comic book character needs to be written in literary present tense.
 * Wiki-stress - Not every fictional character needs their own article!
 * /Sandbox - Currently contains:
 * My work toward a good Jamie Madrox article.
 * Philosophy
 * Nothing - survived AfD, needs a lot of work. I almost wish it hadn't, so work would be done on it.

My comic book knowledge doesn't span decades, so I mostly just copy-edit and make minor corrections.
