User:ThylekShran

Rest In Peace ROBIN WILLIAMS JULY 21, 1951 – AUGUST 11, 2014 Thank you for the laughs, the tears and the memories, for your love and generosity and for sharing your gifts with the world. You will be loved and missed, always.

Intro
Hiya, folks. Unlike this fellow right here, THIS is the REAL Shran, the same user who populates Memory Alpha. If there are any doubts, contact me at my MA talk page and I will put them at rest.

Just so you know, while I may be a frequent visitor to Wikipedia, I will most likely not be an active contributor... primarily because my first loyalties go to Memory Alpha, on which I am an admin. One of the first pages on Wikipedia I really did any work on is Hoshi Sato, but that was just to disprove the misconception that Hoshi was, without a doubt, the inventor of the universal translator. Regardless of how little I edit, however, you can reach me at my talk page here or at MA and I will reply to either, ASAP.

Notable contributions
Well, I created the page for Edward Kelsey, who was a voice actor on one of my favorite television shows, DangerMouse. I also created the pages for my favorite radio station – FM99 – and my favorite radio show, Rumble in the Morning (formerly known as Tommy & Rumble), which broadcasts on that station. Oh, and I created Lennie Weinrib despite the fact that I have never seen a single episode of H.R. Pufnstuf.

I also worked some on the articles for Pat Corley and László Kovács and created the pages for Charles Larson (producer), casting director Phyllis Huffman, Oscar-nominated production designer/art director Harold Michelson, Grammy-winning composer Carlos Franzetti (a relative of a Memory Alpha pal), editor Maryann Brandon, film executive Jeffrey Chernov, cinematographer Derek Vanlint, and location scout/manager and friend Scott Trimble. I expanded and rewrote Barton MacLane's article, as well, using content from a deleted article I wrote for Memory Alpha (turns out the guy didn't appear on Star Trek, despite IMDb's claims).

In 2009, I created and updated pages related to the late, great King of Pop, Michael Jackson. I created the pages for such Jackson songs as "Is It Scary" and "A Brand New Day" and I occasionally managed the Jackson singles template, among other Jackson-oriented contributions. In addition, I updated the box office numbers for 2009's Star Trek.

I also created the pages for sound editor James Nelson, casting directors Barry Moss and Joy Todd, film editors Claudine Bouché, Hans Funck and Tom Rolf, costume designer George L. Little, production designer John J. Lloyd, script supervisors June Randall and Marshall Schlom, visual effects pioneer Howard A. Anderson, Jr., and producer C. O. Erickson. I'm particularly proud of the pages for Nelson and Rolf, though I'm sure both could be improved with tighter writing and more cited information.
