Formerly known as Beemer69. After 17 years I decided it was finally time for a change. My inspiration was the 1960 cartoon of the same name.

Current events (as of 4/24) edit

General editing of MK character articles.
Copyediting and source cleanup/archiving on Dida (footballer, born 1973).
I was requested to work on Mai Shiranui, so that's on the Things To Do list.

Me. edit

Anyway, hi. I'm a middle-aged squirrel who messes mostly with escapist subjects. I guess I could call this a hobby, but heck, so could a good chunk of WP editors. My style is normally saving Big Edits for my weekends and casual editing for all other times. That's why you'll often see me start a project and then not touch it for several days.

I focus particularly on video game characters, and particularly the Mortal Kombat series as it's been a part of my life for three whole decades. (Yes, I'm old.) I've had the pleasure of collaborating with VG editors like GreenishPickle, KungFuMan, Tintor2 and many others over the years on how to properly write these things. Aside from that, I usually end up poking into and tweaking some random article, then end up editing it again later for no particular reason.

Folks, please don't get upset if I wind up changing your past edits. When I perform extensive edits or cleanups, I first and foremost try to maintain the integrity of the article. I myself have had big edits that I worked my butt off on and thought were the cat's pajamas, hacked up by other contributors over time. That's just how Wikipedia rolls, y'all.

I have Meniere's, suffer from anxiety, and am on the spectrum. Fucking hell.

Misplaced hyphens piss me off. You've been warned.

How I devote too much of my time to Wikipedia. edit

Major article cleanups. Recreated articles are in bold.

Ermac Happy tenth anniversary, ya bastard.
Space Harrier — Completed in 2016. Increased sources from 34 to 97. Before
Bea Benaderet — Completed in 2017. Increased sources from 14 to 124. Before
Dida (footballer, born 1973)
Glacier (wrestler) - one of these days I'll get back in there and clean it up.

In the attic edit

Old (2007-2010) enhancements in which I'm no longer active:

*—I did my first major Wikipedia edit, of this article, in 2007 that was all reverted ONLY because...I was an anon at the time. Yep. If that was someone's way into provoking me to create an account, well, it worked.

		I just wanted to stop by and say what an amazing job you've done cleaning up the Cristiano Ronaldo article. It was filled with POV, coatracking, and all sorts of nonsense, and you cleaned it up and did a spectacular job of it. Thank you and well done! Vickser (talk) 23:46, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
