Hello. This is Firsfron's page. I'm not on right now. Please leave a message after the beep. Beep!

I'm Firsfron, short for Firsfron of Ronchester. I've got an absolutely ridiculous username, so feel free to call me Firs. I've been an active contributor to Wikipedia since 2004. I had made a few edits in early 2004 prior to officially joining Wikipedia, under an IP address.

I am an administrator on en.wikipedia.org. If there's something I can do for you, please let me know.

Articles created

edit

Many of my edits have been to articles on various archosaurs. When I started on Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs, only a few decent articles had been created. That number has grown greatly in the past couple of years. You may also have seen me on Wikipedia:WikiProject Television Stations, on clean-up or vandalism revert duty, or elsewhere. I tend to get around Wikipedia. I've corrected many incorrect "apostrophe's" on Wikipedia. :)

Here are some articles I helped improve. Most of my edits were very minor, but I'd like to think I helped these articles reach GA or FA status. Almost all the Featured dinosaur articles below have been collaborative efforts, with a half a dozen editors working to bring these articles up to snuff.

  List of dinosaurs (168 edits)
  Psittacosaurus (7 small edits)
  Velociraptor (75 edits +image editing)
  Tyrannosaurus (147 edits +image editing)
  Stegosaurus (154 edits)
  Diplodocus (69 edits)
  Triceratops (86 edits +image editing)
  Scelidosaurus (89 edits +image editing)
  Iguanodon (98 edits +image editing)
  Compsognathus (72 edits +image editing)
  Archaeopteryx (83 edits)
  Styracosaurus (132 edits)
  Deinonychus (67 edits)
  Daspletosaurus (23 edits)
  Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event (109 small edits)
  Herrerasaurus (133 edits)
  Lambeosaurus (33 small edits)
  Gorgosaurus (24 small edits)
  Allosaurus (74 edits)
  Massospondylus (175 edits +image editing)
  Pachycephalosaurus (67 edits)
  "Archaeoraptor" (76 edits)
  Edmontosaurus (50 small edits)
  Plateosaurus (89 edits)

And not quite dinosaurs, but definitely extinct, and the only other articles I have helped reach GA or FA status:

  DuMont Television Network (382 edits)
  NTA Film Network (84 edits)
  Paramount Television Network (581 edits)

Most of these are shamelessly copied from User:Dinoguy2's user page, because they're... well.. useful. To me, anyway.

And...

Useful Tools

edit
Duesentrieb's CatScan A tool designed to show category hierarchies, and list all the articles within them. It's highly useful for finding missing categories, and arranging articles by category. It also can be used to list very short articles by number of kilobytes, which is ideal for finding short articles.
Interiot's Contribution Tree A tool which shows how many edits a contributor has made to each article.

Barnstars and WikiAwards

edit

I'm really happy to have received each of these. The first three were awarded to me in April of 2006. I don't know what I did that month to receive not just one but three (Or perhaps I should ask myself what I was doing wrong all those other months...)! Thank you everyone.

  The Featured Article Medal
I think this is long overdue. You deserve recognition for your achievements.
