My first edit to this project was creating a user page with some userboxes and a sentence. My second edit included this diff. Some people may call this a mistake, but I was a very new user at the time, and I was trying to help, instead of doing more harm than good. After installing RedWarn, fighting vandalism and spam couldn't get any easier than that, but sometimes (and rarely) I make some kind of mistake by accident.

When I got rollback enabled on my account, I've started using tools and scripts that require rollback to fight vandalism and spam much easier and faster than if I were to manually revert or undo such edits. I use Selective Rollback to massively revert a user's edits (mass/rapid vandalism or spam), add an edit summary when I revert, and others. Next, I became a pending changes reviewer, which allows me to review and revert edits on pages protected by pending changes. My CVUA training page can be found here, and while you might see some errors I have made, that training greatly enhanced my ability to identify vandalism in which it requires my judgment and senses.

So obviously, I use a variety of anti-vandalism tools to assist me in keeping this project clean from disruption, and I also use SWViewer to watch out for disruption on other projects, as well as the abuse log on Meta. For other stuff related to anti-vandalism and spam, I sometimes encounter grossly offensive/libelous or promotional usernames (both will obviously have to be reported if they vandalize or promote themselves). For long-term abusers, I know some of them and I can tell by their activities and habits. While reverting their edits, I deny recognition to them, and even blank their talk pages. Sometimes, when they vandalize other projects, I report them to SRG and revert their edits, if I can find any.

On the flip side, when I don't feel like reverting bad stuff on this project, I sometimes do content work to save me from boredom (e.g. adding references, rewriting, etc.).

In addition to fighting vandalism and spam, I also help with edit filters. The community has trusted me to be an edit filter helper, and I did run for edit filter manager once, but have not succeeded, probably because of some concerns I'd rather not talk about here. My last couple of edit filter helper nominations also did not succeed to the point where I had to withdraw, perhaps because I was getting the hang of how edit filters work, and how could I have the trust to not stuff the beans up my nose. In addition, the Meta community has also trusted me to view all filters on all projects, and I have written some global filters on Meta, in addition to local filters in this project.

I was blocked for one week because somebody thought I engaged in a good and bad hand sockpuppetry situation, but that wasn't the case at all; an LTA made multiple accounts to impersonate me and some other users, and they were all blocked indefinitely but that included me (blocked for one week) and my alternative account (blocked indefinitely). Hours later, both of my legitimate accounts were unblocked per some discussion about my block on my talk page. You may wish to view my block log if you want.

Anyway, goodbye to my no-block streak.

I have never edited this project in exchange for payment, and if I have done so, I will disclose it here.

If you want to leave me a message, I will be more than happy to respond to you on my talk page, or email me if you have sensitive concerns that should not be discussed here (as with other human editors, I am occasionally prone to making mistakes). If you leave me a message in Spanish, I will either reply in that language here or on my Spanish Wikipedia talk page. I am a mentor, so if you are a new user and are in need of help, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page.

I also maintain a guestbook, in which you can sign with your signature. It's your choice.
