Ryan, acting photowhorishly inappropriate


What do I do on Wikipedia?

Previously known as RyanLupin on all MediaWiki projects but underwent usurpation on 30th September 2008. Wikipedia has helped me significantly in the past with school work and for other research related tasks. Because of this, I owe the site a debt of gratitude for its reliability, therefore, you'll often see me patrolling the recent changes and new pages for vandalism in an attempt to help the site. If I come across a newly created article that doesn't merit a deletion tag but may be sub-standard or inappropriately written for an encyclopaedia, then I will often try to enhance this page to meet the wikipedia inclusion polices. Sometimes this may involve me adding a cleanup tag or perhaps an entire rewrite, it depends on my mood, the clarity of the current edition or whether or not the subject interests me. Please remember that I am only human, therefore, if I revert or tag an article under the assumption the editor was a vandal when really, they were making a positive contribution, please leave a message on my talk page and revert the change I made. This rarely happens but please don't come to my talk page and make out that I'm some kind of a bad guy! I will reply offering a full apology and take full responsibility for my actions. I'm also actively monitoring the {{helpme}} and help desk pages for Wikipedians who request help and assistance. On days when I'm extremely bored, I will often click the Random Article button and see whether I can enhance anything that comes up. For the last couple of years, I've been a great fan of using both Twinkle and Lupin combined to tackle vandalism, however, I've recently installed Huggle and I now use this as my primary vandal fighting tool. I still have Lupin and Twinkle installed for when Huggle decides to mess up. Besides vandal fighting I take part in WP:AFD (where I will also make non-admin closures), WP:RfA and have recently started reviewing good article nominations. I'm a member of WikiProject Biography along with WikiProject Kent where I mainly assess biographies and Kent related articles and mark them accordingly. I'm also a member of the WikiProject Wikify where I attempt to assist in editing the huge backlog of articles in need of wikifying.
