The world always seems brighter when you've just made something that wasn't there before.

Welcome, I am Darkknight2149.

Notable work

  • Hellraiser: Judgment  (Today's Featured Article)
  • Leatherface (2017) 
  • Jerome and Jeremiah Valeska 
  • Professor Pyg 
  • Halloween (2018 film) 
  • List of Batman Family adversaries (Before / After) - I've been rewriting this one for a while now. If I do say so myself, I believe it has greatly improved since I started working on it, but I still have a long way to go. Rewriting and citing it is an incredibly slow process, as there are so many characters listed. My ultimate goal is to get the entirety of the article up to Wikipedia standards at some point.
  • Wikipedia:Templates do not excuse citations - Essay on disruptive users adding "citation needed" templates with their own uncited claims to avoid it from getting removed. As someone who used to primarily monitor comic book articles for disruption, poor editing, and uncited additions (including a vast number of articles that had less than 30 watchers), this became common particularly for anonymous users who persistently added original research, refused to leave edit summaries, and who started using creative maneuvers to avoid being reverted. Another common maneuver was to use decoy citations (I.E. copying and pasting a random citation from somewhere else that has nothing to do with the claim being made). This sort of thing also sometimes led to IP-hopping to avoid detection and various games of "whack-a-mole". It definitely kept me on my toes.

Current goals and ongoing article projects

Assist Paleface Jack with getting Leatherface draft to FA quality

  • Status: Moving slowly but ongoing.

Get Professor Pyg to FA quality

  • Status: Soon to nominate.
  • Status: Fetal stage.
  • Status: Work in progress.

Sidelined projects

  • Jigsaw (2017 film) - Lack of available sources and behind the scenes information. I haven't been paying much attention to it, now that other users have done a pretty good job of keeping an eye on the page.

Off-Wiki recognition

  • An article I worked substantially on, Hellraiser: Judgment, was seemingly helpful to the professional news site Forbes. In their review for the Judgment film, they prominently referenced sections from the article. It's this sort of thing that reminds us why we do what we do to provide a well-researched, and well-cited encyclopedia for thousands of readers. The Forbes article also goes on to say about the page "I presume [it] was written by the filmmakers themselves...", which is probably a testament to how closely I followed the film and the filmmakers in order to flesh out the article. I guess I'll take that as a compliment, though this is probably the funniest indirect WP:COI accusation you will ever see.
  • Media organisation Birth.Death.Movies also commended the work done on Hellraiser: Judgment (in which I was the top contributor), stating "A look at the film's Wikipedia page reveals that this installment's been in the works for hot minute, and that whoever's keeping tabs on the Hellraiser series for Wikipedia is doing a bang-up job."
