I spend a lot of time editing articles associated with WikiProject Futurama. I occasionally enjoy categorizing uncategorized articles, particularly uncategorized people. I am the original creator of only two articles, Jan Roskam and Barcol hardness test. I shall consider creating another article if I find an area of Wikipedia that is significantly lacking.
I am just coming back from a long wiki-break. While I'm not editing as much as I did in my peak, I am starting to hit up my old haunts again. If there's something you're working on and you think I could be of help then drop me a message on my talk page and I'll be happy to have a look. Apparently while I was out I was also granted reviewer status, I'm sure that will be very exciting if I ever have the opportunity to use that ability.
"Space Pilot 3000" The first article I felt like I really pulled from being rather poor to rather good mostly by myself, hopefully it will be the first of many.
"Hell Is Other Robots" Most of my work on this article was early on rather than during the actual promotion but I do feel responsible for most of the Production section and the info from the Pinsky book. The real credit goes to User:Cirt who made this what it is today.
Futurama I didn't work on this as much as the other two but I feel at least partially responsible for it's current state of being.
A fact from the article Jan Roskam, which this user created or significantly contributed to, was featured in the Did you know... section on the Main Page.

I, Chickenmonkey X sign? , would like to give you, Stardust8212, this barnstar for helping me in my early days as a Wikipedian, being a great Wikipedian in your own right, and being a generally all-around positive force on Wikipedia. That said, and as I have recently returned from a wiki-break of sorts, I hope to see you editing regularly again in the near future. If not, please accept this barnstar whenever you see fit. -- 03:12, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
The lead section of a Wikipedia article is the section before the first heading. The table of contents, if displayed, generally appears between the lead section and the first subheading.
Rule of thumb: If a topic deserves a heading or subheading, then it deserves short mention in the lead.
The lead section should contain up to four paragraphs, depending on the length of the article, and should provide a preview of the main points the article will make, summarizing the primary reasons the subject matter is interesting or notable. The lead should be capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article, should be written in a clear and accessible style, should be carefully sourced like the rest of the text, and should encourage the reader to want to read more. The following table has some general guidelines for the length of the lead section:
