I am Nick, better know as my username, MrScorch6200 or simply Scorch. I used Wikipedia for years but did not think about creating an account until I garnered an interest in how Wikipedia handled back-end tasks. I have now been on Wikipedia for over a decade and love the community and the atmosphere here as all dedicated Wikipedia editors are determined, hard-working people taking time out of their day to contribute to the largest encyclopedia in the world. I am hoping to stick around in the near and far future.
Some of the pages that I like to edit are my favorite TV shows and video games. However, sometimes you'll find me skimming through random articles for grammatical errors and false information. I am always triple checking my edits, so again, if I screw up let me know on the article's talk page and/or mine.
I gained an interest in patrolling newly created pages a while ago and tagging them for issues and deletion (and sometimes helping them to not be deleted). I also contribute in my spare time by patrolling recent edits with Ultraviolet.
These editors are friendly editors that I've met across Wikipedia whom I like and appreciate what they've done (from fighting vandalism to other various tasks) for the encyclopedia. Most of these editors have helped me substantially or have collaborated with me in part or in teamwork tackling issues such as problematic edits and users.
