About me
Hello, I joined Wikia in August, 2010. I'm knowledgeable and fan about Doctor Who, Forgotten Realms, and Star Trek. Relevant to writing and editing here, I write fiction, enjoy play-by-post role-playing, I've written a whole damn thesis and now work as a technical editor of scientific papers. You can also find me on the Star Trek wikia Memory Beta.

I'm a Forgotten Realms Wiki administrator and bureaucrat, focusing on tidying things up, hacking up code and templates, and rehabilitating pages. I'm also master of the UnseenServantBot for automated edits.

My projects:

Content:
 * The Vast: Procampur and everything else in it. Just Tantras and Mossbridges to go. I won't be covering Ravens Bluff, Brikklext, and the Glacier of the White Worm at this stage.
 * Wheloon — complete!
 * Chessenta: The Thulbanian Games so far
 * Uzurr in Lapaliiya
 * The Order of St. Dionysus
 * Elgath's Provisions
 * Lathery and Veridon
 * Gundarlun, another one I cleaned up and decided to complete. Might as well while I'm there.
 * Larloch (complete!) and Warlock's Crypt (not got to it yet)
 * Shadow magic
 * Gods: Isakkhu, Khass, Murdane, Ilmater and the Church of Ilmater (in progress)
 * Dungeon magazine 75, "Into the Nest of Vipers" — complete!
 * Realms of Valor, "Patronage", "Dark Mirror"
 * Comics: "The Gathering" onwards
 * Ilbratha
 * Alusair Nacacia Obarskyr
 * Stuff that pertains to my games.
 * Lots of other stuff, including rewrites of copied articles.

Wiki work:
 * The Main Page
 * Template:DidYouKnow — a weekly "Did you know...?" feature for the main page, featuring Realmslore from new articles.
 * Template:Featured article and Template:Featured source — for recording and presenting featured articles on the main page
 * User:BadCatMan/Featured image — for presenting featured images on the main page. Template:Featured image with User:Moviesign.
 * Template:Item — Updated with edition-specific and other parameters.
 * Overhauling and updating the help pages.
 * General clean-up, maintenance, and technical editing of articles.

Current and Ongoing:
 * Tantras
 * Indexing Darkwalker on Moonshae
 * Overhauling and updating the help pages.
 * Recreating and rewriting the years pages from The Grand History of the Realms
 * Completed to 899 DR, 1300 DR to 1361 DR
 * To do: 880 DR to 1299 DR; 1362 DR onwards

I don't like 4th Edition, and I don't like post-Spellplague Realms (blegh!) and events leading up to it, so I won't be working on anything related to it. Except where I need to. I also know nothing about the 5th Edition Realms.
