My name is Alex Thompson and I edit Wikipedia, and multiple other projects, as a hobby. I live in Nuneaton, in the UK and I am 26 years old. I am passionate about photography, and I travel a lot. I've recently finished studying photography at college, and work as a sales advisor. I changed my username from Rubbish computer to just be as transparent as possible. I don't like the idea that Wikipedia is secret or a closed system. I don't think that describes Wikipedia anyway, but I want to just be completely open with what I do under my real name and face. Let's make the internet not suck!
I began editing on the day I created my account, November 5, 2014, but had previously contributed as an IP. I edit Wikimedia projects as a hobby in my spare time. My editing is varied: I'm not sure how I would sum it up. I patrol recent changes and new pages frequently; I help revert vandalism, but also welcome new users and help copyedit and categorise articles. I frequently use the semi-automated tools HotCat, Twinkle and Huggle, to assist with this. I've been a pending changes reviewer for several years and patrol pending changes for similar reasons (I am also a new page reviewer). Additionally, I contribute to discussions by the Wikipedia community, such as Articles for deletion and Redirects for discussion. I have created several hundred articles and have the autopatrolled right as a result. I'm trying to create articles more often. I also use AutoWikiBrowser sometimes, mostly to help fix typos, especially using the New Pages feed. Although I use several other wikis fairly regularly (see below), I am most active on this site.
