Hi, my name is Nate, and I played WoW for about 18 months after release. Since then I've gotten married and have a baby on the way, so I only have time to casually play on friends accounts. I've played a Priest to lvl 57 and most other classes into at least the mid-30's. I try to keep up on the game and I hope some day I'll be able to play again consistently. I theorycraft alot and have close friends in end-game guilds. Editing Wowwiki is one of my gaming outlets.

Feel free to contact me over email at cerebral.flatulation@gmail.com or use the same address for ichat/jabber if you have any questions/comments about my work.

Project: Removing or fixing dead links
I hate red links, so whenever I see them, I try to at least start an article, or else remove the tags. Pages fixed:
 * Greater Heal - had roughly 15 dead links when I found it... started about 12 articles and removed some link tags to make it all "blue" :)
 * Sethekk Halls - had 14 dead links when I came across it, all to trash mobs. I'm working to clean this all up...
 * Mana-Tombs - had all the random trash-mob info right there on the main page, so I made about half a dozen articles and moved some of the info.

Project: adding tables
'''It kills me when I see long lists that are poorly organized or boss/mob loot tables that show all the loot, but make you scroll down and see ALL the info there. I want to add tables to as many pertinent articles as possible to make reading easier.''' Pages worked on:
 * Hydross the Unstable - added table to show first kill ranks
 * Leotheras the Blind - added table to show first kill ranks
 * Fathom-Lord Karathress - added table to show first kill ranks

Random Articles I've started

 * Skar'this the Heretic, Avian Darkhawk, Avian Ripper, Avian Warhawk, Cobalt Serpent, Sethekk Guard, Sethekk Initiate, Sethekk Oracle, Sethekk Prophet, Sethekk Ravenguard, Sethekk Shaman, Sethekk Talon Lord, Time-Lost Controller, Time-Lost Scryer, Time-Lost Shadowmage, Ethereal Darkcaster, Ethereal Priests, Ethereal Spellbinder, Ethereal Theurgist, Ethereal Sorcerer, Nexus Stalker

Random Articles I've contributed to

 * Eye (Tempest Keep) - Organized the article some

To Do

 * Finish making mob articles for Mana-Tombs

Finished Project: Normalize Priest Talent page
Project Finished

Priest Talents needs a ton of work. I'm going to try and have the article follow the template in Warrior Talents which is very well organized and easy to read. I'll be putting all the paragraphs that are not part of the actual spell/ability description in the article for the specific page, so don't worry that data will be lost. Contact me if you have any suggestions. Hopefully when I'm done it'll look much better and navigable.
