About Me

A picture of a Virgin Hot Air Balloon that I took while it was flying over Cambridge.

Hi there, I'm Tom (as you may have guessed), and I live in Cambridge, England. Not only do I edit Wikipedia but also a Wiki I started with a friend here feel free to edit there :)

Wikipedia And Me

I joined Wikipedia on 7 April 2007 and made my first edit at 22:32 PM, which was to create an article, St. Faiths School, also located in Cambridge. I did not make many edits for the following two months, only clocking up around 50 edits. The following month I did 200, and since then have been doing around 1k a month. A more detailed analyse of my edits is available here.

What I do

I do several things while on Wikipedia;

• Patrol recent changes using Lupin's Anti-Vandal tool then revert using a modified version of Twinkle. I report users who exceed a recent last warning to AIV - to date a figure around 150. You can see all the JavaScript tools I use here. I used VandalProof in the past but it is not all it is cracked up to be, in my opinion. On 11 January 2008 I recived rollbacker status.
• Patrol new pages and tag with either Maintenance Tags or for CSD or other tags using Friendly or Twinkle respectively.
• I participate in AfD discussions, and recently have been Non-Admin Closing unanimous keeps.
• In the past I have used AutoWikiBrowser which was a nice tool, but don't currently have it installed.
