I am a graduate of the University of Kansas with a bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, I have also received a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis. Currently I work in a Materials Testing Laboratory for a large aerospace company.

On Wikipedia

[edit]

I spend a lot of time editing articles associated with WikiProject Futurama. I occasionally enjoy categorizing uncategorized articles, particularly uncategorized people. I am the original creator of only two articles, Jan Roskam and Barcol hardness test. I shall consider creating another article if I find an area of Wikipedia that is significantly lacking.

I am just coming back from a long wiki-break. While I'm not editing as much as I did in my peak, I am starting to hit up my old haunts again. If there's something you're working on and you think I could be of help then drop me a message on my talk page and I'll be happy to have a look. Apparently while I was out I was also granted reviewer status, I'm sure that will be very exciting if I ever have the opportunity to use that ability.

Achievements

Created
Significant contribution
  • "Space Pilot 3000" The first article I felt like I really pulled from being rather poor to rather good mostly by myself, hopefully it will be the first of many.
  • "Hell Is Other Robots" Most of my work on this article was early on rather than during the actual promotion but I do feel responsible for most of the Production section and the info from the Pinsky book. The real credit goes to User:Cirt who made this what it is today.
  • Futurama I didn't work on this as much as the other two but I feel at least partially responsible for it's current state of being.

The Special Barnstar
I, Chickenmonkey X  sign? , would like to give you, Stardust8212, this barnstar for helping me in my early days as a Wikipedian, being a great Wikipedian in your own right, and being a generally all-around positive force on Wikipedia. That said, and as I have recently returned from a wiki-break of sorts, I hope to see you editing regularly again in the near future. If not, please accept this barnstar whenever you see fit. -- 03:12, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
Do you want to earn a barnstar of your very own?
Please see my open challenge at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Futurama

For future reference

Tip of the day...
How to add hidden editor notes in an article

Have you ever needed to post an important message to all editors about an article, on the article itself, but thought it would stick out like a sore thumb and ruin the article if you did? Are you reverting many edits on an article because editors just aren't seeing the important message or special instructions on the talk page?

The solution is that you can insert hidden text in the article! That way, only the people editing the page will see your message! Here is how to insert a hidden comment:

  1. First, begin the comment by typing <!--
  2. Once you have done that, type what you need the editors to read
  3. Then, end the comment by typing -->

Once you have completed those 3 easy steps, you won't be reverting as many mistakes!

For example, the following hidden comment has been used in the Meaning of life article, in the Popular views section:

<!--Please do not add 42 in this section. It is covered under the section titled "Popular culture treatments". Thank you.-->

Some more examples of pages that have hidden messages include:
