The Giant Puffin

Hi, welcome to my user page!

I spend most of my time on Wikipedia visiting articles for research or extended reading on subjects I am interested in. I do most of my work generally editing subjects I find interesting. Recently, my contribution to TfD and the Userboxes project has decreased. have recently started improving the World's Wildest Police Videos article, which has lead to a number of related articles to help with.

Vandalism

One way to respond to vandalism is to use the following on the user's talk page:

[[Image:Banner_whose_side_are_you_on.png]] Do you want to contribute good information, which will stay in articles and be read and enjoyed by many people over time? Or do you want to add nonsense, which will be quickly reverted and soon forgotten? Some of us have figured out which is more fun :-). Will you join us? ~~~~
