From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have too much going on in my real life that editing full-time is only going to get in the way. I come on once in awhile (when I'm bored) and edit a couple minor things but nothing major. -Deftonesderrick


This editor is an Apprentice Editor and is entitled to display this Service Badge.

Hello, everyone! I've been using Wikipedia for years and started contributing to editing in early 2009. I created this username in late 2009 to establish myself as a legitimate user in the Wiki-community. I typically contribute anywhere from 10-50 edits a week.

I contribute mostly to plot summaries of video games, movies, television show seasons, and books. As an avid editor, I also do my best to watch for vandalism and misinformation and excise it as quickly as possible. My goal is to use my knowledge to help improve pages, especially their plot sections. Whether or not my changes are accepted, if it eventually leads to improvements, then I feel I've contributed.

Every page I contribute to, no matter how minor, I stay around and help revert vandalism!

Tip of the day...
Wikipedia has 34 sections, called namespaces

The encyclopedia proper is the main namespace and contains all of Wikipedia's encyclopedia articles. All of the other namespaces have prefixes, which must be included (followed by a colon) at the beginning of links to pages in those namespaces in order for those links to work. Otherwise, the links will point to the main namespace, which has no prefix.

Currently, Wikipedia has 30 namespaces: 14 subject namespaces, 14 corresponding talk namespaces, and 2 virtual namespaces.

The namespaces (by prefix) are:

  1. Main/Article (no prefix), Talk:
  2. User:, User talk:
  3. Wikipedia:, Wikipedia talk:
  4. File:, File talk:
  5. MediaWiki:, MediaWiki talk:
  6. Template:, Template talk:
  7. Help:, Help talk:
  8. Category:, Category talk:
  9. Portal:, Portal talk:
  10. Book:, Book talk:
  11. Draft:, Draft talk:
  12. Education Program:, Education Program talk:
  13. Timedtext:, Timedtext talk:
  14. Module:, Module talk:

The virtual namespaces are:

  1. Media:
  2. Special:

In any given namespace there can only be one page with a particular name.
