Hi, I'm Mythdon and I first edited the English Wikipedia in December 2007.

My time on Wikipedia (Past, Present & Future)[edit]

Before it all began[edit]

When I first discovered Wikipedia in 2006, I thought Wikipedia was a Power Rangers fansite like Power Rangers Central and Super Sentai Time Capsule before I found out it was actually an encyclopedia that tells you about everything. I used to look at the talk pages of the various users that were editing Power Rangers and Super Sentai articles, while reading the latest spoilers and rumors for Mystic Force, Operation Overdrive and Jungle Fury and I thought "How cool would it be for me to be in on those discussions too?".

The beginnings[edit]

I signed up on December 18, 2007, but my first few edits were as an IP until I started using secure server. I made my first edit as Mythdon on December 22 and became a part of WikiProject Tokusatsu.

Throughout 2008, I joined WikiProject Television Stations and began participating in recent changes patrolling as well as nominating various articles for deletion. In 2009, I nominated myself for adminship three times (all of which were WP:SNOW'd).^[1][2][3]

During my early years, I was well known for being too involved with rules and processes, which eventually led to the end of my time on Wikipedia.^[4] After repeating those mistakes six months later, I was indefinitely site banned.^[5][6] Back then, I was extremely clueless and socially incompetent to be a member of this project.

Comeback[edit]

In 2012, the community heard my appeal and agreed to lift the site ban.^[7][8][9]. Since returning, I've focused on mainspace editing, recent changes patrolling, fixing formatting errors and participating in XFD and ANI discussions.

These days, I don't have a particular subject area that I consider my main area of editing interests. Many of the pages I have watchlisted are pages I monitor while my content contributions are to any articles I come across that I think need improving, regardless of the subject area or whether they're on my watchlist or not.
