About me
[edit]My name is Alex and I am from Ontario, Canada. I joined Wikipedia on November 6, 2008, and have been actively contributing since early 2009.
What do I do on Wikipedia? Well, the main area of articles I edit are for my favourite TV shows and their related articles. I aim to keep all the articles on my watchlist in top shape, which includes making edits consisting of:
- Reverting vandalism
- Fixing issues regarding maintenance tags
- Formatting references
- Keeping articles up-to-date
- Expanding articles with new content
- Copyediting
- Maintaining the quality of the article

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar | ||
Thank you so much for helping me with my Veronica Mars episode articles and being so nice about it! Now that I'm done with season one, I thought it it would be appropriate to send a little appreciation for your work! :) BenLinus1214talk 16:31, 17 February 2015 (UTC) |

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar | |
I don't believe that I've ever really thanked you for all your edits that you've contributed to many, many articles over the years; I really appreciate you having my back when I make a mistake or accidentally include typos in my edits. You are invaluable to this community, and you should be recognized for your fine contributions!--Gen. Quon (Talk) 17:50, 21 January 2016 (UTC) |
The Friendship Barnstar | ||
Nice to meet you. I see you are a Survivor fan. Me too. Also, as a fan of Saul's I appreciate your fine tuning of his article. Just now, I made some changes (3) to the "Plot" not of your edits but of someone elses because I think the scenes were not interpreted correctly. In the past, I have participated in episode descriptions at various seasons of Survivor, Big Brother, The Amazing Race and other smaller shows. I know heads can butt over what happens and what editors "think happens". I'm a collaborator and not hard-line in my interpretations. But, I think the article episode summaries should only report what happens and not try to second guess the writers or try to "imaginatively create" what a reality player is planning. I just wanted to touch base with you when I saw on your User page what an avid TV viewer you are. Take Care, Buster Seven Talk 14:36, 18 February 2016 (UTC) |
thanks for correcting the spelling mistakes of my contributions to 24 and prison break. it's good for an article to have a guardian. HamedH94 (talk) 08:35, 23 July 2016 (UTC) |
The Special Barnstar | |
