About Me

I come and go in extremely long stretches. I get email if you drop a note on my talk page, though.

I can has words

Writing is my first love. Which is not to say I'm great at it. I mostly just don't suck; I can string a decent sentence together, but I am the queen of typos. Consequently, I mostly fix text problems like awkward and repetitive phrasing. And since I'm a huge nerd, this means I mostly end up polishing plot summaries, primarily for the Film Project. Bonus: it means I don't have to try and hold too much wikicode in my head.

I welcome suggestions on my talk page, if you know of a plot that needs whacking. I'm mostly a genre nerd so the odds of my working on an article dramatically increases if it involves time travel, space battles, zombies, or wizards.

Stuff I've done

The biggest plot trim I ever finished.

Peeves (as in pet)

• Irregardless: No.
• General consensus: Redundant redundant
• It is shown that "it is shown" may be one of the most abused phrases in the fiction related articles on Wikipedia.
• The film begins is no way to start a plot summary.
• Mixed to generally positive reviews is sort of to essentially meaningless.
• He is the secondary antagonist of the film And wikipedia is not your book report. Reverted.

Why people quit editing

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/3RRArchive404#User:Gleamian2_reported_by_User:Deacon_Vorbis_(Result:_Page_protected)

The editor who started that whole mess has since been banned. And I still get mad when I remember this incident. I've never seen an ANI I've been involved in handled this poorly.

Stuff to poke

• sandbox

Plots

plot trimming and/or polishing.

• The Joy Luck Club (film) Currently 1900+ words but well written, do in sandbox and tag the article talk page first to get input, need to rewatch
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=The_Joy_Luck_Club_(film)&action=history The version I tagged, in case of major edits before I come back to it
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Raid_2 not over just clunky
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_First_Purge 946
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Isle_(2019_film)#Plot
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I,_Frankenstein#Plot barely over 700 but has contractions in need of fixing and some readability problems
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gentlemen_(2019_film)#Plot 846
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Voices#Plot
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mischief_Night_(2013_film) needs full plot
• Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody 1000ish, shorter one in history but this one is a better framework, probably will still run a little long post trim, maybe 800
• Harriet_(film) Barely over and well structured but has some bulky phrasing that makes it a little hard to follow. Just needs a polish but I want to rewatch first.
• Flatland (2007 film) 1114 but well structured, reception needs revamp
• Pandemic (film) Needs full plot and polish for tone in real world sections

Misc

THere's a better than average chance I will never get around to any of these. Please feel free to beat me to them.

• Nyesha Arrington needs a page. Way outside my usual wheelhouse. There's a SUn article with her early life background; find other sources.
