From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SEMI-RETIRED
This user is no longer very active on Wikipedia.

Hello, I am CarpetCrawler. I am a semi-retired editor of the project, whom will mostly stop by to say hello, or just check up on things. My main interests in Wikipedia were comic books and music, but I am also a fan of sports (Mainly basketball,) professional wrestling and any form of media (Television, film, written,) so expect to find me editing articles in those places, too.

Main areas of expertise

[edit]

My main focus in Wikipedia was to improve music articles. I am a fan of ALL kinds of music, like pop, rock, jazz, progressive rock, folk, country, metal, heavy metal, some hip hop, funk, disco, dance music, amongst MANY others. My biggest area of expertise when it comes to music is when it is relative to my favorite bands and artists.

I am also a big comic book fan, and am specifically a fan of the characters, Henry Pym and Janet van Dyne, better known as "The Wasp". Marvel better bring her back, damnit! :(

Other than editing articles, I also spent a lot of time volunteering at Wikipedia's "Did You Know?", reviewing nominations, as well as nominating some of my own. I also spent time reviewing articles at Wikipedia's Good Article Nominee's. My main areas of expertise at Wikipedia's Good Article section were music, sports, and television.

My sandbox

[edit]

You can find my sandbox here, which is where I do my "mad scientist" experiments and work on things relating to articles on Wikipedia.

My philosophy

[edit]

My philosophy was to always make sure to be courteous, kind and generous. One thing I liked to do was give out barnstars, whether it be for doing some impeccable and great work on an article, or for something small like cleaning vandalism off of my userpage, or just being there to help me out. Life is too short for anyone to not be rewarded for their efforts, even if it's a silly online award or banner.

OK, here's the last of stuff "about me"

[edit]

If you have any questions, feel free to head on over to my talk page and leave me a message. As you'll hopefully tell right away, I am a very nice person and ALWAYS do my best to assume good faith. I am also a very friendly and courteous person. :) Thanks, and have a good day!
