Hi! My name's Will and I use the moniker Whouk. I've been here since August 2005 and in my early years did a lot of work on television and politics articles, plus new page patrolling, reverting vandalism, and cleaning up articles.

Approach

I always aim to be civil and helpful. If I make a mistake, please let me know and I'll try to put it right. Feel free to leave me a message and say hello.

I always try to be welcoming to new users and to flag on the relevant user's talk page if I revert vandalism or mark their new page for speedy deletion.

The pages I significantly edit tend to be for TV series and actors, but also often include musicians, politicians and places.

Most of my edits are tidying: wikifying/stubbing new pages or tagging them for deletion; reverting vandalism; stub sorting; highlighting potential copyright violation; and fixing wiki syntax.

You can view my admin actions in the log.
