I am a 21-year-old graduate of San Diego State University in San Diego, California, with a degree in Accounting. I have been on Wikipedia for more than three years after starting in February 2006. Throughout my travels, I have visited 35 states and 6 countries, which has allowed me to contribute both pictures and relevant information to various areas of Wikipedia. If you ever have any questions about my edits around Wikipedia, please leave me a message on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. You stay classy, San Diego.

Images added to Wikipedia

Click here to see the pictures I have uploaded (including links to non-free images). I also have a profile at Wikimedia Commons, where I have uploaded the majority of my available images along with over 500 images that Flickr users and other sites have graciously allowed us to use.

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 films 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. I'm currently one of seven coordinators and help maintain the Spotlight, Assessment, and Outreach (including the monthly newsletter) departments and welcome all new members.
• WP:Good Articles-I joined this project in 2007, assisting in reviewing articles when I have the time. There is currently a large backlog, so if you have the time, consider reviewing an article or two. There is instructions on the page and you do not 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 have passed or failed can be found here.
• Disambiguation Repair-Not really a WikiProject, but still very important. I am pretty sure I have offset all of the mistakes I made in creating improper wikilinks when I first started by assisting in fixing 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. I first used the AWB, but then switched over to the CorHomo tool, which makes it really easy to fix the links.

Edit count

I have over 18,000 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 12,000 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).

Magazines/Newspapers/Websites I Use

Some of these I read daily, others weekly/monthly. These usually help me to add assorted information to various articles:

• Entertainment Weekly I get this weekly, and it's a great resource for production information and upcoming films.
• USA Today I read this online daily.
• The Wall Street Journal I get this delivered daily.
• Grand Forks Herald I view this occasionally. I used to deliver it back in the day.
• Merced Sun-Star I view this occasionally in print and online.
• The San Diego Union-Tribune I get this on weekends and at other random times.
• CNN Headline News I check this several times a day plus catch it on TV at times as well.
• The Internet Movie Database Used for starting points in gathering information on films/TV shows.
• TVTattle.com Read daily about random TV news.
• JoBlo.com Read daily about upcoming film news.

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
• Wikipedia article traffic statistics Great for viewing the number of views of various articles on Wikipedia.

DVDs Watched/Owned:

• Full list of all films I've ever seen Made up of 1,350+ films, this took awhile to compile, and is still updated as I spend my hours away from Wikipedia watching more films. Looking over this list, I realize I have seen a lot of bad films, but there also some great ones in there too! The list only includes those films that have DVD releases, so it may be missing some television films, older films, or films still in theaters.
• Full list of DVDs/Blu-rays I own Made up of 200+ DVDs/Blu-rays, let me know if you need a particular screenshot or information from a featurette/other special feature.

FA/FL

Featured article/list	Article name	Date of pass	Article before I started	Article at passing	Why I did it
	Arnold Schwarzenegger filmography	March 7, 2009	Begin	Pass	I wanted to bring an Arnold Schwarzenegger film up to GA, but figured working on his entire filmography would be better. In addition, I wanted to make an attempt at writing my first FL.
	Little Miss Sunshine	September 27, 2008	Begin	Pass	A great film and interesting cast. The article had a great start to it, and I just pushed it further up to GA in February 2008. I eventually brought it up to A-class status on August 11, 2008 before reaching FA status on its second nomination.

GAs

Good articles	Article name	Date of pass	Article before I started	Article at passing	Why I did it
	1997 Red River Flood in the United States	November 19, 2007	Begin	Pass	This occurred shortly after I moved to Grand Forks AFB, and I wanted to provide more coverage of the natural disaster.
	Ben Stiller	January 21, 2007	Begin	Pass	One of my favorite comedic actors.
File:Stencil Graffiti at Staromiejska Street in Szczecin Poland.jpg	The Blues Brothers	December 21, 2006 (with assistance of CTOW)	Begin	Pass	One of my favorite films; I collaborated with other WP:FILMS members including Hoverfish.
	Bruce Willis	July 1, 2007	Begin	Pass	Another one of my favorite actors.
	Deep Impact (space mission)	July 6, 2007	Begin	Pass	After reading the article and it already being in good shape, I complied more sources and pushed it to GA.
	Drew Carey	December 9, 2006	Begin	Pass	One of my favorite television comedic actors.
	Evan Almighty	July 12, 2007	Begin	Pass	Did not care for the film too much, but the article had a good start to it, so I pulled together multiple sources in a day and brought it up to GA.
	Gladiator (2000 film)	March 23, 2007 (with assistance of CTOW)	Begin	Pass	One of my favorite films; I collaborated with other WP:FILMS members on the article.
	Grindhouse	May 7, 2007	Begin	Pass	One of my favorite films (still waiting for the full DVD!).
	History of San Diego State University	January 29, 2009	Begin	Pass	Shortly before I was to graduate, I became more interested in the history of my university and worked on creating this article.
	Hot Fuzz	August 14, 2007	Begin	Pass	An enjoyable film; I worked on compiling a bunch of sources over a few days and brought it to GA.
	Jumper	June 21, 2008	Begin	Pass	Not a favorite film, but I had previously worked on it prior to its release. I gathered more sources and pushed it to GA.
	Kenneth M. Taylor	February 19, 2008	Begin	Pass	After reading his obituary, I was moved by his bravery during the Pearl Harbor attack, and finally brought it up to GA a few months later. I scoured both the Internet and my campus's library to find what I could on this amazing pilot.
	Leslie Nielsen	April 19, 2007	Begin	Pass	Improved this after betting some friends I could bring it up to GA after we had watched The Naked Gun trilogy.
	Live Free or Die Hard	December 3, 2007	Begin	Pass	This article was well on its way to GA, and I worked on adding a few more sources to get it there.
	Matt Damon	September 20, 2007	Begin	Pass	A great actor who needed a better article.
	Oklahoma City bombing	March 5, 2007	Begin	Pass	The bombing happened two hours away from where I was living, and I visited the site several months later. This was the most deadly terrorist attack on U.S. soil prior to 9/11, and I believe to be an important moment in our nation's history.
	Samuel L. Jackson	December 4, 2006	Begin	Pass	My first GA, and one of my favorite actors. Multiple nominations of this article taught me about the GA process, and jump started my interest in bringing other articles up to GA.
File:Vipera-aspis-aspis-1.jpg	Snakes on a Plane	December 20, 2006	Begin	Pass	My first film GA, about an interesting film phenomenon. I wish it had done better at the box office...
