About me

Summary: I am a WikiGnome with claws.

I am mboverload, joined 11 April 2004. On Wikipedia I do minor things like rewording sentences, spellchecking, and fighting vandalism.

I am the creator and maintainer of RegExTypoFix, an automatic spellchecker for Wikipedia built-in to AutoWikiBrowser and wikEd. It is made completely by hand and many users have used it to make tens of thousands of spelling corrections. It is my biggest project and probably my only legacy. I used to be a developer of AutoWikiBrowser, but I can't remember what I changed in it.
Pages I'm proud of having contributed to

  • I'm awestruck that you have spent fifty+ hours of your valuable time developing your spellchecker to help Wikipedia. It is a true testament to your desire to make Wikipedia a better place. hoopydink 1 August 2006 [5]
