[edit] About Me

Joined as a Wikipedian on 29 October 2006.

I am a Singaporean teenager who joined because his IP address was shared by some vandal, resulting in the author getting unpleasantly locked out from edit pages. As a member, I now have little to fear!

My username comes from my real-life first name "Jedd", which I paired with 'Jedi. For those who've been hiding unding a rock in the middle of the Arizona desert for thirty years, the Jedi are knights in the Star Wars universe.

I'm a Christian (no denomination) and thus do not believe in the evolutionist theory. I'm also a die-hard Batman and Star Wars fan, with Justice League TV series reruns (and now Wikipedia editing) taking up my minimal free time (a phenomenon affecting most Singapore schoolboys).

As for other hobbies, I build and photograph Lego models (I own a pretty extensive collection, composed primarily of Lego Star Wars). This obsession eventually led to a huge, ambitious project chronicled here, also involving good friend User: Altopian.

Unlike most teenagers, I do not own any games consoles (X-Box, PlayStation, Gamecube and the like) so I get to play on them only on the rare visits to a friend's house. My Dad does get me bargain-bin PC games on occassion, though, among them the wonderful Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend. Also, I love to write and entertain myself by doing so, writing movie reviews, Lego set reviews and fan-fiction in my spare time, besides editing on Wikipedia, of course. My fanfiction.net profile can be accessed here. I also do a fair bit of fanart and love to draw even thought I'm not too good at it. Do have a look at some of my work at my DeviantArt account accessible | here. I also listen to the podcast The mrbrown show (for which I created the Wikipedia entry) as often as I can, just for fun. It's laugh-out-loud funny!

I also consider myself quite the movie buff, and have a long list of favourite films. I am generally inclined towards action-comedies, though I've probably seen at least one film from every genre. Horror is my least favourite.

[edit] List of Favourite Films

Here we go,

Action Comedies/ Thrillers

As mentioned earlier, Action Comedies rank as my favourite genre. Which teenage guy doesn't like to seeing things get blown up, or enjoys a farcial gag or two? The appeal is undeniable. Further more, I love special effects: physical or CGI, they're all interesting. I love to analyse particular scenes and stunts, and look out for mistakes or trivia points. I'm no nitpicker, but that's where the average teenager and I differ.

As for thrillers, you completely can't be laughing all the time. Everything's heavier in these films: mystery, plot, action etcetra. This makes them all the more intriguing.

One last note: some of these films can be mixed up in other genres too.

Sci Fi

In the realm of science fiction, anything's possible. I kind'a think this genre bonds all others. There are science fiction action and comedy films aplenty, almost all fantasy is also science fiction (and vice versa), a ton of weird sci-fi thrillers, a couple of horror films, heck, there are even some sci-fi romances (The Lake House)! My personal faves (inclusive of alien movies, depictions of the future, superhero movies, disaster films etc) are listed below:

Musicals

Truth be told, there aren't that many mainstream musical films that catch my fancy: the 2001 Moulin Rougue too risque and gaudy; the same can be said of the Chicago film as well. However, there is one...

[edit] My Potential work on Wikipedia

Before registering, I mainly did work on DC comics-related articles, and am likely to continue doing so now. As mentioned earlier, I'm a Bat-fan (blame Batman Begins-it started it all). I love Lego as well (most Lego references on Batman-related pages were most likely added by me). I also like to add stuff to articles relating to whatever I come across, if I feel it necessary. For example, if I've just watched a television show or movie, or if I've just visited some museum, I may look it up here and see if I can contribute anything at all. Please forgive the British spelling, as it is the standard English Singapore mainly uses. Don't expect to see too much work done by myself, though, as this is a strictly-free time activity (did I mention my parents put a friggin timer on the computer?!?!) As a proper member, though, I'll try my best :)

[edit] Notable Contributions

Basically, I like to think of all of my edits as notable, but that would be nothing short of egotistical. Well, I have created these articles so far:

Plus the relevant redirect pages.

I have exponentially added to these articles:

Well, I've basically touched a wide range of articles, everyting from "nerd" to "Perrier" to "Batman" to "Ben Chaplin"! Check out my contributions page if you really want the whole thing, but I don't exactly keep track. If you want to say anything, the "discussion" page button is just up there. Thaks for viewing my userpage!


Cheers,

Jedd the Jedi
