If the soul of the dead be a lost soul it knows its doom. ~ Fiona Macleod, "The Sin-Eater"

Personal editing tendencies
Like most wiki contributors, I have my preferred editing subjects and inclinations due to my particular knowledge and playing habits; this list presents a general idea:


 * I'm more competent with PC DOOM and DOOM II topics, over other games.
 * I generally prefer topics that relate to the games themselves, over add-ons.
 * I have considerable knowledge of version 1.9 engine quirks.
 * I am very familiar with demo recordings and speedrunning.
 * I am also pretty familiar with the multiplayer aspects of the games.
 * I am perhaps more of an editor than an entry writer or starter.
 * I tend to take rewriting inconsistent, unclear, or messy paragraphs to task.
 * I'm quite observant in regard to organization, grammar, and terminology.
 * I'm a relatively bold editor, yet quite fond of discussing options.

If you find that any edits I make don't seem correct or have errors, go ahead and make an edit or a comment on the appropriate talk page (or on mine), and if you see some change I made (a move or such) affects some of your contributions or other stuff, go ahead and let me know and, assuming there wasn't a problem with my change in the first place, I'll help tidy it up till it's fixed.

Things on my to-do list

 * Enhancing the articles about the monsters from DOOM and DOOM II.
 * Restructuring and expanding the version-related articles related to the PC games.
 * Fleshing out the PC DOOM game articles (The Ultimate DOOM, for example).
 * Editing capitalized technical terms (such as lumps) to teletype font.
 * Editing command-line parameters within article texts to teletype font.
 * Improving multiplayer articles; at least making separate Cooperative and DeathMatch pages.
 * Making sure technical articles deal with the core game first (such as linedef types).
 * Checking on thing classes; could be both more informative and less redundant.
 * Going over articles using the old names, embellish them as they are updated.
 * Writing article on command line parameters, each of which can be linked to.

In the community at large
I am known as myk at the forums on Doomworld, where I have posted for quite a while. In regard to the games in general, I'm inclined towards the more classic and purist activities and events, and have been involved in a number of projects through the years, mostly providing support, testing, and input. I have also been editing the English Wikipedia a bit, checking up the DOOM related articles as well as a few other subjects.
