Howdy!
I mainly work at File:DoctorWhoWiki.png

If you know me at all, chances are it's because you've run across me at one of Wikia's Doctor Who wikis. But the truth is that I edit pretty broadly at Wikia. Chances are that I've ended up at Community Central for reasons that have nothing to do with Doctor Who. I consider myself a "Wikian with an interest in Doctor Who" more than a "Doctor Who fan who happens to use Wikia".

I am also a Wikipedian, where I only infrequently edit these days. Things I've enjoyed writing about include early American television pioneers like William T. Orr and Quinn Martin, fictional concepts like the evil twin, Olympians like Stephanie Brown Trafton, and the history of the Czech Republic.

Things that are true
I likes me some Wikia. Seriously. It's a free host that lets all of us build databases about any subject we like. And it gives us all great SEO, so that the rest of the world will actually see what we've written. So of course I want Wikia to succeed financially. As long as Wikia are able to make money, we all get to keep on keepin' on. And the only real way to make money is to innovate. So when Wikia make a change, I see it as an opportunity to participate in an exciting new discussion.Other things that are fundamental to my Wikia life:
OriginalAppleLogo
I drink the Apple® Kool-Aid®. It's yummy.
(As is the MyWikia app.)
CzechOutBugReport
You only get rid of bugs by reporting them.
CzechOutSocialMedia
Social media ain't optional.
I might be able to help
No promises, mind. But I've been around a few MediaWiki blocks in my day, and I might have seen something you need. Feel free to leave me a message, anywhere on the Wikia network. I'll often respond in the same day, but sometimes I'm quite busy at my home wikis, resulting in minor delays. Here's a very incomplete list of my strengths and weaknesses — at least as I see them. I'm not entirely useful with the things on the left side, nor totally useless with the things on the right. I might be able to help with your JavaScript question, for instance — or at least be able to quickly find someone who can.
Things I'm pretty good with Things I'm not so good with
  • JavaScript
  • Spam or vandalism on your wiki (go to the VSTF instead)
  • API
  • AWB
  • Windows® or Linux
