Hello. I'm an 18-year old boy from Australia. You can also find me on Youtube, under the same username, and on Wikipedia under the name "Jc iindyysgvxc".

==My history with Homestar Runner==
+
-
 
+
-
'''October 2006:''' Saw an image of a [[wrestleman]] used humorously on several tiny Wikipedias.
+
-
 
+
-
'''November 2006:''' After a period of curioisty, searched and found out exactly who the wrestleman was: [[Strong Bad]]. I also found out that he was from a web cartoon called Homestar Runner. Though I did check out H*R for a little bit (if I remember correctly), I didn't actually watch anything on it.
+
-
 
+
-
'''March 2007:''' Did a Google search for something about text adventures. One of the results was a forum in which one of the posts contained a link to the Strong Bad Email "[[video games]]". I clicked the link to watch that email, and I finally got hooked on H*R.
+
-
 
+
-
'''April 2007:''' Discovered the Homestar Runner Wiki.
+
-
 
+
-
'''April-May 2007:''' Watched every Sbemail on the site released up to that point.
+
-
 
+
-
'''May 2007:''' First edited the Wiki as an Anonny. Over the next couple of months, I used several IPs to edit, [[User talk:202.76.162.34|this one]] being one of them.
+
-
 
+
-
'''May-November 2007:''' Watched some of the rest of the toons of the site. I also watched each email from [[underlings]] to [[business trip]] as soon as they were released.
+
-
 
+
-
'''November 2007:''' Lost interest in H*R.
+
-
 
+
-
'''August 2009:''' Regained interest after nearly two years.
+
-
 
+
-
'''September 2009:''' Joined the Wiki under the name "RickTommy" (though I started off with "Jc iindyysgvxc", my Wikimedia name).
+
-
 
+
-
'''January-February 2010:''' Watched every single toon on the site for the first time.
+
-
 
+
-
'''February 2010:''' Started writing French subtitles for toons.
+
-
 
+
-
'''April 2010:''' Joined the HRWiki Forum.
+
-
 
+
-
'''May-December 2010:''' Despite being an active Wiki user, rarely watched any H*R toons due to the hiatus and the fact that I had already watched them all. That changed, however, once [[A Decemberween Mackerel]] was released.
+
-
 
+
-
'''January 2011:''' Used the HRWiki IRC channel for the first time.
+
-
 
+
-
'''May 2011:''' Got my first item from the [[Store]].
+
-
 
+
-
'''June-September 2011:''' Lost activity on the HRWiki, but eventually regained it.

==Other subtitles- and French-related stuff==
+
-
 
+
-
I've created German, Spanish, and Turkish subtitles for [[Intro 2]] and [[Flag Intro]] ([[subtitles:intro2/de]], [[subtitles:intro2/es]], [[subtitles:intro2/tr]], [[subtitles:flagintro/de]], [[subtitles:flagintro/es]], and [[subtitles:flagintro/tr]]), as well as Dutch, Portuguese, and Turkish subtitles for [[500 The Cheats]] ([[subtitles:500cheats/nl]], [[subtitles:500cheats/pt-br]], and [[subtitles:500cheats/tr]]). I've also created the [[Subtitles:sbcg4ap/en|original English subtitles]] for [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]]. And my French work has not been limited to subtitles - I have gone as far as to [http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&diff=707006&oldid=706807 translate an entire talk page thread on this Wiki into French].
+
-
 
+
-
==[[Current status]]==
+
-
*Waiting for these [[:Category:French Subtitles in Need of Verification|French subtitles of mine]] to be proofread
+
-
 
+
-
==HRWIKI-related things that annoy me==
+
-
*THE LONG HIATUS (It is just like a Brother Chap to break his promise! We asked for a simple toon, but I suppose no-one asks favours of the Brothers Chaps!) (Kudos if you get the reference.)
+
-
*When anonymous users sign themselves with a user name
+
-
*When a user makes more than two edits to a single page in the span of just a minute or two, ''especially if the page is one that was previously not edited for a long time''
+
-
**That, more often than not, it is anonymous users who do this
+
-
*When a user doesn't listen to Show Preview concerns
+
-
*When a user gets away with not using the Show Preview button
+
-
*When I don't sign my own comments
+
-
*When I have to proof-read my comments
+
-
*[[College|This page]]
+
-
*When a user makes an edit only to immediately revert it
+
-
*Long-unfinished subtitles scripts (why do we keep long-unfinished subtitles scripts, anyway?)
+
-
*When pages are in [[:Category:Articles for Discussion]] or a similar deletion category for a very long time
+
-
*Alternating capitalisation ([[:Category:Real band Running gags]], [[Template:subtitlesLinks]], just to name a few)
+
-
*Adding a link to a category in the middle of a page, and that page becoming a member of that category
+
-
*When the Wiki is unedited for hours
+
-
*When a user changes their signature for a holiday and never changes it back
+
-
*When a user points out in an edit summary that they need to go to bed or something along those lines
+
-
*When a user creates a new article and links to that article on every page that mentions it
+
-
*That contribution pages are case-sensitive
+
-
*Outdated lists
+
-
*Overly-descriptive edit summaries
+
-
*Edit summaries that get cut off
+
-
*User pages that have (almost) every single userbox in [[HRWiki:Userboxes#Fun Userboxes|Fun Userboxes]] on them
+
-
*When I check new messages on my talk page while logged out, and have to deal with the Orange Bar of Death as soon as I log in
+
-
*When a user considers a small addition to an article a "major contribution"
+
-
*Edit conflicts
+
-
*Comments in mainspace or project discussion pages that belong on someone's talk page, especially if that someone is me (like [[HRWiki:Featured Article Selection/Discussion Archive 2010 Weeks 31-40#No Hands On Deck!|this one right here]])
+
-
*That [[the basics]] has the least page views of any Sbemail article despite the fact that Strong Bad himself has said that it is his favourite e-mail
+
-
*That everyone seems to like [[local news]] purely for the "its/it's" song and the other grammar songs instead of that e-mail's actual subject
+
-
*That everyone seems to think Strong Mad is older than Strong Bad - he may be much bigger, but that doesn't mean he's older, especially given his intelligence
+
-
*People who criticise [[160 Seconds]] for being too similar to [[rock opera]] - sure, they were designed based on similar rules, but they're not the same ones
+
-
*[[HRWiki:Featured_Article_Selection/Discussion_Archive_2010_Weeks_21-30#Everybody_to_the_Limit|This comment]] (specifically, the one that says "Good. Also, I beat RickTommy.") (You did NOT beat me. I CHOSE not to post for that week because of the warning on my talk page.)
+
-
*When long-untouched topics on the forum get bumped (I think there should be a <s>rule</s> feature that when a topic does not get any more posts for a set amount of time, it will be archived, just like at Gamefaqs)
+
-
*Forum posts that just say "Oh", "Thanks", or any other single word that adds nothing to the topic
+
-
*When someone replies to a spam post on the forum and once the spam post is deleted, the post in reply to it remains despite no longer making sense
+
-
*The forum users "TwiceStyle" and "HSR4Ever85", for several reasons:
+
-
**They reply to really old posts (see above) (well, TS does; I do not believe that HSR4 does)
+
-
**They speak in non-sequiturs that, if you ask me, rival those of Homsar
+
-
**Their posts are hard to read: they often write in all-caps, they abuse changes in font size and colour, they abuse emoticons, etc. Combine these with the non-sequiturs mentioned above and you have posts that waste time in understanding them
+
-
**They're newbies (they have even admitted to discovering the site during the hiatus)
+
-
**HSR4 even went as far as to post a threat directed at several users (yes, I know it was a joke and it wasn't a violent one, but it was still a threat)
+
-
**In general, they just seem to lack maturity
+
-
*The new [[HRW:Featured Article Selection|featured article]] format, for several reasons:
+
-
**Putting in complicated suggestions is more difficult
+
-
**Articles get featured without consensus
+
-
**It has increased the chance of featuring articles that I am completely against featuring
+
-
**I sometimes want an article featured "just because", but the way the format is designed, you have to give a reason, so I sometimes say things I don't mean
+
-
**I sometimes want an article featured on a particular week, but the way the format designed, the only week-specific discussions allowed are for holidays such as Hallowe'en and Christmas/Decemberween
+
-
**Some comments left over from the old format no longer make sense, causing more nonsensical comments such as [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=HRWiki:Featured_Article_Selection&diff=719260&oldid=719259 this one]
+
-
**Not many users use this Wiki anymore (this change would have been better if it was done back in '07 or '08)
+
-
**People praise it on purpose (much like those guys who said they liked Youtube's Beta Channels to annoy the thousands of users who absolutely disliked them) (as you can see [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=HRWiki:Featured_Article_Selection&curid=10163&diff=709995&oldid=709762 here] and [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=HRWiki:Featured_Article_Selection&curid=10163&diff=710106&oldid=710060 here])
+
-
*When people would [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=HRWiki:Featured_Article_Selection&diff=702814&oldid=702757 interfere with ohers' suggestions instead of adding their suggestions to a new week] in the old format
+
-
*When featured article summaries are created either too early (i. e. a week or more before the summary comes live) or too late (i. e. after it is supposed to come live)
+
-
*The lack of attention that FAS has been getting
+
-
*[[Kick-a-Ball|"WHAT DA CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP?!?!?!?!?!" and "'''Just Pitch da Fweakin' ''Ball''!!!!'''"]]
+
-
*[[videography]] (well, mostly the fact that it's been the newest sbemail for {{monthssince|October 5, 2009}} MONTHS AND COUNTING now)
+
-
 
+
-
==Other==
+
-
(SECTION IN PROGRESS)
+
-
*My favourite edit summary: [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=User:Qermaq/Words_said_or_seen_once&diff=700389&oldid=700205]
+
-
*My least favourite edit summary: [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Subtitles:dethemberween/fr&diff=688946&oldid=688937]
+
-
*I was the last person to have made an edit to the Wiki in 2010: [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&curid=49237&diff=715577&oldid=715497&rcid=676875]
+
-
*I am referred to by name in a Youtube video: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkX_hRKc6mU] (about 10:40)
