From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello! I enjoy fantasy and sci-fi, and works of fiction in general, as well as history and religion (I'm a Christian and would consider Islam as my second "favourite"). I tend to work on film articles as one cannot ask for a better source than a good DVD.

Note to everyone: think about what you will place in the trivia section. It might save someone having to reintergrate it as prose. For people coming to work on film articles, do not create trivia sections, create 'Production' sections. It isn't real afterall.

I am attempting to get the three LOTR films up to GA status like the trilogy page, before hopefully getting all of them to FA. I am currently having trouble uploading multiple images which turn into 'scrap' in My Pictures. Still, I've been distracted from FOTR and TTT, but I hope I can redirect my attention this year. Transformers is coming out and the eyes of the world will be upon my favourite toys like never before. I hope I can make it and Transformers (fiction) featured. IDW's The Transformers is also great! In the meantime, please comment at Jurassic Park's FAC!

[edit] About myself

So just why am I on Wikipedia? It's a fun site: my love of films allows me fun to act as an amateur historian without the heated discussions or trolling of most message boards. Certainly it allows me to dip in and out of my favourite fictional universes if I feel bored, and because I have Asperger's Syndrome I'm certainly less interested than most teenagers in a social life. I came here for help regarding Doctor Who's mythology, above the BBC's childish regurgitation of dialogue from the new series (not anything wrong with the series, I love it, just the Beeb takes the drama out of the intention of the dialogue).

I first registered as Wiki-newbie as I didn't think much of editing here, and it was a plea for help. Now I'm fully versed in WP:ATT, WP:NPOV and WP:AVTRIVIA.
