Hi, I joined Wikipedia on 13 Nov 2004, after being a regular reader for several years. I'm a junior in college, majoring in computer science. On Wikipedia, I vote on a lot of VfD's, and I've edited some articles pertaining to American politics (I am a registered Libertarian), sports, music, computers, computer software, and occasionally random other topics (ex. if I see an article that needs fixing). My real-life friends who edit the Wikipedia include WhiteDragon and Jaguarundi.
I like to use the really nice edit counter available here.

Other significant edits
(Incomplete list.)
Extensive cleanups
Merge/redirects
Probably others earlier, but I wasn't keeping track.
Copyvios caught and repaired
I'm pretty sure all of these had copyvios on them. There might be more caught copyvios on my User contributions page.
To-do list
- ThouShaltNot
- Samoan fire knife dance
- Luau (expansion)
- Red-bellied Pacu
- Black Pacu
- Minerva Island
- Antestor (expansion)
- Add a "history" section to Christian metal (I've put quite a lot on this article already)
In addition, I'm trying to find the time to start chipping away at Wikipedia:Requested articles/sports.
