[edit] Bio

I am a 21-year-old resident of San Diego, CA and a college student at San Diego State University, pursuing a degree in Accounting. I have been on Wikipedia for a year after starting in February 2006. Throughout my travels, I have visited 34 states and 6 countries, which has allowed me to contribute both pictures and relevant information to various areas of Wikipedia. You stay classy, San Diego.

[edit] To-Do List

Review the following articles for GA Sweeps.

• Storm sciences, Hurricane seasons & Storm Effects

Cyclone — Effect of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans — Effects of Hurricane Wilma in the Bahamas — Meteorological history of Hurricane Dean — Project Stormfury — Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale — Storm surge — Tropical cyclone observation — Tropical cyclone rainfall climatology

[edit] Edit Count

I have over 16,000 edits on the Wikipedia mainspace. They're mostly minor edits in correcting errors, reverting vandalism, fixing redirects, adding categories, or link repair (or fixing my own mistakes). I also have over 10,000 edits on talk pages, but that is mostly for adding {{Film}} and {{Television}} to film and television article talk pages, and also adding needed film image/infobox requests. Furthermore, I have assessed hundreds of film/TV articles, which heavily increases these talk edits. You can see my edit count here (May take a long while to load).

[edit] Articles I Have Created

I don't spend too much time creating articles, as I prefer mostly working on improving others or increasing the quality of an article to a higher level.

• Merced Sun-Star-(Stub)
• Crank-(B)
• Holy Cross Lutheran Church (Atwater, California)-(Start)
• Employee of the Month - re-wrote the previous article after it had a plagiarism infringement tag added to it. (Start)
• School for Scoundrels (Start)
• List of San Diego State University alumni and faculty-split off from main SDSU article

[edit] Images Added to Wikipedia

Click here to see the pictures I have uploaded and my favorite pictures by other users. I also have a profile at Wikimedia Commons, but I only go there to upload images when I get approval from Flickr users and from other sites. You can see the images I upload there over here.

[edit] WikiProject Involvement

• WP:Films-I spend most of my time editing film information on Wikipedia. In the summer and fall of 2006, I finished (after 50+ hours over 3 months!) adding thousands of articles to the alphabetical lists on the Lists of films and sorting some of the movies as I came across them from here by the assessment scale. I also have in the past spent a lot of time working on List of actors and List of United States comedy films. I have added the {{Film}} banner to hundreds (possibly thousands?, if not I will eventually!) of film talk pages and right now continue to assess all films that are currently unassessed (no current backlog!). I'm currently one of two assistant coordinators and help maintain the Spotlight, Assessment, and Outreach (including the monthly newsletter) departments and welcome all new members.
• WP:Television-I don't spend as much time on this project as I do the Films WikiProject, but I add new information to various shows as I get information from the news or watch the shows myself. I will also usually add the {{Television}} banner to talk pages as well and have recently started assessing articles as I come across them.
  • Television Episodes WikiProject-For this project, I have a lot of my time working on adding episode summaries for episodes of The Drew Carey Show. Since it is unlikely to find sources for the articles to meet notability standards, I have nominated them to be made into redirects and I plan to work on bringing List of Drew Carey Show episodes into a Featured List eventually. This project is need of participants, it currently has about ten right now. I also created the participant userbox for the project, just to make the project look more official.
• Disambiguation Repair-Not really a WikiProject, but still very important. I'm pretty sure I have finally offset all of the mistakes I made in creating improper wikilinks when I first started by assisting in fixing some many dab links. This project really could use the help by anyone and everyone, so if you want to find something to do, head over there and help out. Usually you can finish an entire section in an hour or two, or you can space it out, whatever is easier for you. Just a warning, whenever you're editing and have a wikilink aimed at another article, make sure that you test it first. Check that it doesn't cause a redirect or link to the wrong page/disambiguation page. I first used the AWB, but then switched over to the CorHomo tool, which makes it really easy to fix the links.
• WP:Good Articles-I joined this project in 2007, assisting in reviewing articles when I have the time. I attempt to review at least one or two articles a week, so we'll see how that goes. There is currently a large backlog, so if you have the time, come review an article or two. There is instructions on the page and you don't have to be a WP:GA member to review. As of September 2007, I am also involved in the Sweeps task force to help uphold the quality of current GA articles. My statistics for all of the articles I've passed or failed can be found here.

[edit] Magazines/Newspapers/Websites I Use

These usually help me to add assorted information to various articles:

• Entertainment Weekly
• USAToday
• Grand Forks Herald
• Merced Sun-Star
• The San Diego Union-Tribune
• CNN Headline News
• The Internet Movie Database
• TVTattle.com
• JoBlo.com

Wikipedia-related:

• WikiDashboard-useful for tracking down editors dedicated to an article based on their contributions to the article
• Internet Archive-has helped me repair multiple dead links and find sources otherwise unavailable

DVD Collection:

• DVD Spot (let me know if you need a screenshot of a particular scene for any of these films or information for a special feature that you may need for an article)

DVDs Watched:

• Full list of all films I've ever seen (This took awhile to compile, and looking over this list, I realize I've seen a lot of bad films! But there also some great ones in there too!)

[edit] Upcoming Films I'm Excited About

• The Incredible Hulk
• Get Smart
• Hancock
• The Dark Knight
• The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
• Tropic Thunder
• Quantum of Solace

26. Thank you for the extensive editing remarks, all of which have been incorporated. The biggest problem is, the next editor looking to review a possible GA will have an entirely new set of edits... on and on and on. It would seem to make sense that one who sets out such extensive editing suggestions (again, which were excellent) should be responsible for follow-up on the re-review. Sclarkson 01:13, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

29. Hi -- In reply to your "Hi, I was wondering why you keep blanking some of the names from Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Participants/Member List. Are you trying to add your name or is there something wrong with the page? Let me know if you need help with anything, and happy editing!" Sorry if I messed up -- I was indeed trying to add my name, but even though it looked right in the preview window it didn't work when I saved. Maybe it was because I couldn't get the window to go to the bottom of the page? Thanks for your help! cwh 16:49, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
30. You have welcomed me to The Films WikiProject. Thank you - I feel welcomed. I'll probably start serious work on it next week, mainly adding infoboxes/creating horror film articles. Mr pand 05:22, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

40. Nice user page. I'm also LCMS. I wanted to say that I reversed the Drew Carrey photo back in good faith. I'm not trying to do an edit war or anything like that. Your picture crop did not work. Thanks!!

    The picture looks good. It wasn't croped the last time I saw it. No problem.
