About Me

Alex 21. Not much to say. Twenty-something year old Australian guy who's a serious avid TV series watcher, and more addicted to Doctor Who. Also a website developer in my spare time, and a Teaching/Maths & Comp Sci. university student in my non-spare time. And my actual name is Alex. (Well, Alexander, but that's too long.)

A very regular contributor in articles relating to the WikiProject Television, with the occasional contribution related to Technical requested moves, Template-protected edit requests and Files requiring renaming. More than welcome to ask me to perform any sort of trivial and uncontroversial template edit, page move and/or file move.

The computer programmer is a creator of universes for which he alone is the lawgiver. No playwright, no stage director, no emperor, however powerful, has ever exercised such absolute authority to arrange a stage or field of battle and to command such unswervingly dutiful actors or troops. Joseph Weizenbaum

"bibliomaniac: someone with a passionate enthusiasm for collecting and possessing books." Personal library currently consists of over 600 books.

Projects

Clearing the categories listed here and keeping them empty, by making every television series article compliant with MOS:TV.

I have also created a number of Javascript scripts for editor usage to be run through common.js, for correcting invalid line colours, correcting invalid infobox colours, converting series overview tables to templates, converting episode ratings tables to templates, and clearing mass redlinks.
