Unanswered peer reviews

Welcome to my user page.

If you're interested, I've written a short essay on "How I survive Wikipedia", and another on the citation habit. I also wrote an opinion piece on the Wikipedia Education Program which appeared in the Signpost in December 2011.

Reception sections in articles on video games, books, TV shows and movies are often poorly written; some advice on how to improve these sections is here. Please comment on the talk page there if you have improvements to suggest. For those interested in review processes such as good article nominations and featured article candidacies, I've written an essay about "fix loops", a problem that can occur in those reviews.

I'm the author of two tools that provide data about the English Wikipedia's quality processes. Both tools are hosted at the same website: one reports on featured article candidates, and the other on good article nominations. If you find any bugs, or have any suggestions for improvements, please let me know. I am also the operator of ChristieBot, which does various GA related maintenance; as of 17 November 2022 ChristieBot has taken over these functions from Legobot. If you see any problems with ChristieBot's edits, you can notify me on my talk page or the bot's talk page.

I started out as User:Coldchrist; I changed my user name fairly quickly to my real name. I am also User:SpringHarbor, under which name I have only one edit, done out of an interest in WP:NEWT.

I am also User:Mike Christie on an iPhone, which was used as you might expect; accidental rollback is a common problem on iPhones, so a separate account allowed me to keep the rollback feature turned on for this account. However, I have found a great solution to this; see here if you have an iPhone and are running into the same problem.
