Hiya, folks. Unlike this fellow right here, THIS is the REAL Shran, the same user who populates Memory Alpha. If there are any doubts, contact me at my MA talk page and I will put them at rest.

Just so you know, while I may be a frequent visitor to Wikipedia, I will most likely not be an active contributor... primarily because my first loyalities go to Memory Alpha, on which I am an admin. One of the first pages on Wikipedia I really did any work on is Hoshi Sato, but that was just to disprove the misconception that Hoshi was, without a doubt, the inventor of the universal translator. Regardless of how little I edit, however, you can reach me at my talk page here or at MA and I will reply to either, ASAP.

In addition to hanging around Memory Alpha, I am a writer at Trekmovie.com. I also maintain the Multiply Group Movie Release Date Schedule... when I can, anyway.

Notable contributions

Well, I created the page for Edward Kelsey, who was a voice actor on one of my favorite television shows, DangerMouse. I also created the pages for my favorite radio station – FM99 – and my favorite radio show, Rumble in the Morning (formerly known as Tommy & Rumble), which broadcasts on that station. Oh, and I created Lennie Weinrib despite the fact that I have never seen a single episode of H.R. Pufnstuf.

I also worked some on the articles for Pat Corley and László Kovács and created the pages for Charles Larson (producer), casting director Phyllis Huffman, Oscar-nominated production designer/art director Harold Michelson, Grammy-winning composer Carlos Franzetti (a relative of a Memory Alpha pal), editor Maryann Brandon, film executive Jeffrey Chernov, cinematographer Derek Vanlint, and location scout/manager and friend Scott Trimble. I expanded and rewrote Barton MacLane's article, as well, using content from a deleted article I wrote for Memory Alpha (turns out the guy didn't appear on Star Trek, despite IMDb's claims).

Lately, I have also been creating and updating pages related to the late, great King of Pop, Michael Jackson. I've created the pages for such Jackson songs as "Is It Scary" and "A Brand New Day" and I also occasionally manage the Jackson singles template, among other Jackson-oriented contributions. In addition, I updated the box office numbers for 2009's Star Trek.
