-==Biography==
-Thomsonmg2000's name is derived from the Thompson submachine gun and not from [[Thomson and Thompson]]. He accidentally left the p out of "Thompson" while registering the name for Wikipedia, but decided to stick with it because it was a unique name.
-Thomsonmg2000 originally joined Wikipedia in November 2005. However, he did not start editing Wikipedia articles on a regular basis until March of 2011, hence the reason he is still only a Novato. Between 2005 and 2010, he made mostly cosmetic edits. A significant portion of his edits were also on his user page. However, he still made some notable contributions to Wikipedia during this time period, such as creating ''[[The Geto Boys (album)|The Geto Boys]]'' and ''[[The Resurrection (Geto Boys album)|The Resurrection]],'' as well as uploading a couple of public domain photos. On his Wikipedia edits during the early years (i.e. 2005-2010), Thomsonmg2000 said:
-{{cquote|Anything I wrote on my user-page and any edits I made on talk pages and articles during those six years is not indicative of what I believe in now. Back then, I did not know anything about properly [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|referencing]] sources, I was a little too obsessed with the '[[Wikipedia:"In popular culture" content|In popular culture]]' crap, I had questionable tastes in music, I thought everyone on Wikipedia would care about my userpage (when in reality [[Wikipedia:Don't-give-a-fuckism|no one does]]) and I was more amused by profanity than a hyperactive ten year old on caffeine. To paraphrase [[Ben Croshaw]]:<ref name=Croshaw>Crowshaw, Ben. [http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/archive/20080103-0710.htm You Cad]. Fully Ramblomatic.com. 23 March 2008. Retrieved 1 July 2011</ref> those edits came out of a dark time in my life from which I have determinedly moved on without a backward glance.}}
-The first articles Thomsonmg2000 began regularly editing were college athletic pages, such as [[Nevada Wolf Pack]] and [[BYU Cougars]]. Another article he contributed significantly to in March of 2011 was on the [[Cleveland Browns relocation controversy]], a task he found frustrating because many of the important sources were behind [[paywall|paywalls]].
-A large majority of Thomsonmg2000's edits are in music album articles. Thomsonmg2000 first began contributing to album articles when he created ''[[Cave Rock]]'' on April 12, 2011. After that, he began browsing album articles to expand. Thomsonmg2000 decided to concentrate on indie albums because he found many of those articles were either [[Wikipedia:Stub|stubs]], [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|biased]], [[Wikipedia:Bare URLs|used bare urls]], had [[Wikipedia:Spam|link spam]], [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|lacked citations]] and, in general, looked as though it was edited by someone who had absolutely no programming skills whatsoever. The first article to receive Thomsonmg2000's treatment was ''[[Why There Are Mountains]]'' on May 1, 2011. Originally, Thomsonmg2000's expansions mainly involved putting reviews into prose format and adding personnel and charts. As he became more confident with his edits, he began adding background, musical styles and other prose sections to the article. Thomsonmg2000 considers ''[[Father, Son, Holy Ghost (album)|Father, Son, Holy Ghost]],'' an article he created on August 8, 2011 and has contributed a vast majority of the edits to, a breakout article for his editing skills and confidence.
-Despite editing mostly indie music articles, Thomsonmg2000 still works on sports articles. Most of the sports articles he have created/significantly edited are season lists. Thomsonmg2000 created most of the lists with the help of [[Notepad++]]. Thomsonmg2000 found that the most difficult season list to create was the [[List of Atlanta Braves seasons]], mainly because Thomsonmg2000 had to go through 141 seasons and make sure the win-loss, awards, league finishes and post-seasons were correct, as well as making the sure the code worked on Wikipedia. For the college football seasons lists, he uses the [http://excel2wiki.net/wikipedia.php Copy & Paste Excel-to-Wiki Converter] to speed up the process.
-==Editing Philosophy==
-Thomsonmg2000 uploads all of his high resolution photographs to the public domain. He does this in order to avoid the legal complexities associated with [[copyrights]] and [[Creative Commons licenses]].
-When it comes to editing, Thomsonmg2000 believes heavily in citing sources; he gets frustrated when an editor writes paragraphs and paragraphs without citing a source. Thomsonmg2000 also supports the extermination of all [[Wikipedia:Avoid_peacock_terms#Puffery|peacocks]] and [[Wikipedia:Avoid_weasel_words#Unsupported_attributions|weasels]] from Wikipedia. In turn, he purposely avoids editing articles which he has very strong feelings about, unless it is reverting vandalism on said article.
-==Criticism and controversy==
-Thomsonmg2000 has been accused of hypocrisy after he decided to write his userpage biography in the third person.{{Citation needed|date=December 2011}} Some{{who}} users found found his biography to be narcissistic and even condescending. Thomsonmg2000 was known{{By whom}} for his [[Wikipedia:Don't-give-a-fuckism|Don't-give-a-fuckism]] attitude and had been criticizing (in his head) other users for wasting time on editing userpages most [[netizen]] would never see. Thomsonmg2000 had also been against [[Wikipedia:Arguments_to_avoid_in_edit_wars#Experience.2FStanding_on_Wikipedia|condescension]].{{Citation needed|date=December 2011}} Thomsonmg2000 has yet to respond to these criticisms.
