Welcome to my userpage!! Links to most of my subpages are found at the top. Thanks to Rock drum for the user logo! My favorite color is turquoise, but I changed the background to a pale turquoise to be easier on the eyes.19px

__NOTOC__
About Me
I created an account on May 13, 2010. ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&limit=1&username=Glimmer721 want proof?])
[http://toolserver.org/~tparis/pcount/index.php?name=Glimmer721&lang=en&wiki=wikipedia Edit count.]
I am a female. I live somewhere in the United States of America. I'm younger than you think, so please be patient!! I tend to ask a lot of questions. I'm also fairly new to Wikipedia--I started on May 13, 2010. My name is NOT Glimmer, nor is this a reference to a very minor character in The Hunger Games. It's just a something I'm working on...and probably SHOULD be editing right now, rather than Wikipedia.
To find out more about me, please look at the userboxes on the side or the drop-downs below.
I am also good friends in real life with Lily075, who I can't get to edit very much.
Editing and I
I began with editing mostly book articles, including the Hunger Games trilogy and related subjects, as well as A Series of Unfortunate Events, The 39 Clues, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Harry Potter, and The Lord of the Rings. However, I have sort of abanoned books because of lack of sources and inspiration.
I began working on more film and television-related articles recently, mainly with references. I shifted to improving the quality of Doctor Who episode pages and I have got the fifth series to a Good Topic. I am currently working on the sixth series now, and keeping track of the seventh as it emerges. I also help out with The X-Files.
I also help out with the Good Article backlog with article formats I am familiar with.
Everything I do on Wikipedia is manual. I do not use Huggle, Twinkle, or anything else because they don't work on Internet Explorer 8, which is what I use. However, I do have Rollback rights and use that to help revert vandalism (though it seems someone is always quicker than me). I also like fixing wikilinks, expanding reference info, and patrolling recent pages.
My biggest pet peeve is references that are just bare urls or don't use proper citation templates, like {{tl|cite web}}.
Pages I have created
(in order, not including disambiguations or redirects turned articles)
- Katniss Everdeen
- Peeta Mellark
- List of characters in the Hunger Games trilogy
- The Hunger Games universe
- Andy Linden (actor)-had to create it because Andy Linden led to a dead race car driver.
- The Clockwork Three
- Matthew J. Kirby
- The King's Dragon
- The Silent Stars Go By (Doctor Who)
- Doctor Who (series 7) - well, I made the redirect an article, one I'm rather proud of, if I do say so myself
- Christmas Cheers - yes, I created it in July
- The Dragon's Call
;Templates
I really like adding navboxes to improve navigation between pages of a series. I have created:
I have uploaded [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=50&user=Glimmer721&title=Special%3AListFiles these files], as well as [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:ListFiles/Glimmer721 these] on the Commons.
Things to work on
I'm dialing it back to pursue my own creative hobbies. I got kind of burnt out, and now I'm going to try to work on one thing at a time. Maybe bigger things.
- Doctor Who (series 6) needs to be finished up. What to do about Night and the Doctor? Death is the Only Answer?
- Doctor Who (series 1) - Watch Confidentials, add reception, etc. One episode at a time? First focus: "The Unquiet Dead".
- Continue adding reception to classic serials as I watch them.
- Clara Oswald - monitor
- Finish up Amy Pond
- Other DVD special features: Remembrance of the Daleks (need to finish; is there enough for GA?), Earthshock, Day of the Daleks, The Rescue, The Romans, and Terror of the Autons.
- Divergent (novel) - got some development information....
- Maybe take "The Eleventh Hour" to FA?
- Clean up Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes? At least add reception.
=Sandboxes=
- User:Glimmer721/Sandbox - links and notes
- User:Glimmer721/DoctorWho - new series index, links
- User:Glimmer721/ClassicWho - classic series index, links
- User:Glimmer721/War Against Bulleted Lists - cleanup for Doctor Who articles
- User:Glimmer721/Leela and User:Glimmer721/Romana - character sandboxes
The things vandals come up with...
- [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_characters_in_the_Hunger_Games_trilogy&curid=27894312&diff=389931144&oldid=389926077 This] is quite entertaining.
- [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tilia_americana&diff=prev&oldid=393524130] Yes, it's a nice tree, but that's what the picture is for.
- [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_39_Clues&action=historysubmit&diff=393795679&oldid=393794693 Random or what?]
- [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Katniss_Everdeen&curid=27369332&diff=396189345&oldid=396189337 Sure...]
- [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Albus_Dumbledore&diff=prev&oldid=408100295 This] edit was later reverted by the IP who put it in. I find it quite amusing.
- Quite funny: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Hunger_Games_(film)&diff=prev&oldid=479315935 This] and then [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Hunger_Games_(film)&diff=next&oldid=479315935 this].
- [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Doctor_Who_(series_6)&diff=prev&oldid=493402367 Amusing], but that's not the place for jokes
- Stupid edit war: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dana_Scully&diff=494869296&oldid=494856429 Scully is an alien]
- [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Silence_(Doctor_Who)&diff=prev&oldid=498732267 Wikipedia is not the place for inside jokes] (even if you leave an edit summary)
- [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nefertiti&diff=511471444&oldid=511470752 Doctor Who is not history]
=My mistakes=
I make mistakes, too! I'm okay at spelling, but there are just some words I tend to type wrong. And then there are the usual typos.
- What happens when you transfer something from your sandbox quickly: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Doctor_Who_%28series_5%29&action=historysubmit&diff=460344827&oldid=460330100]
- Once I told my friend to read over this article to see if there was anything she did not understand as I was planning to nominate it for GA once my others had been reviewed, and she looked at me and said, "It was watched by 6.49 people?" And I said, "Yeah! That's not that bad!" She repeated, "6 and a half people?" And I said again, "Yes!" A little while later I realized I had left out the "million" and hurried over to the computer to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Hungry_Earth&diff=next&oldid=461255053 add it]. Then I [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Night_Terrors_(Doctor_Who)&curid=32137565&diff=470171440&oldid=470169782 did it again]. There are several examples of this.
- Another result of transferring something from your sandbox: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vincent_and_the_Doctor&action=historysubmit&diff=462827473&oldid=462827401], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Doctor_Who_(series_5)&diff=next&oldid=459364076 And another], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Field_Where_I_Died&diff=498043793&oldid=498043763 And again]
- This IP was kind enough to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Big_Bang_(Doctor_Who)&diff=prev&oldid=479000658 correct] a rather embarrassing grammar mistake. (He/she also corrected another "million" issue)
