Psyphics is the screenname of wikipedian Joshua Newton. If you take issue with any of my edits, air your thoughts on my talk page. I tend to edit at work, so I cannot do exhaustive edits without appearing to be wasting work time.
[edit] Interests/Projects
- Comics - for character article template see this guideline
- Literary present tense - There are a vast number of Wikipedia comics articles that need extensive copy-editing. Any biography, origin story, or history of a comic book character needs to be written in literary present tense.
- Wiki-stress - Not every fictional character needs their own article!
- /Sandbox - Currently contains:
- Philosophy
- Nothing - survived AfD, needs a lot of work. I almost wish it hadn't, so work would be done on it.
My comic book knowledge doesn't span decades, so I mostly just copy-edit and make minor corrections.
