I have too much going on in my real life that editing full-time is only going to get in the way. I come on once in awhile (when I'm bored) and edit a couple minor things but nothing major. -Deftonesderrick

About Deftonesderrick[edit]

Hello, everyone! I've been using Wikipedia for years and started contributing to editing in early 2009. I created this username in late 2009 to establish myself as a legitimate user in the Wiki-community. I typically contribute anywhere from 10-50 edits a week.

I contribute mostly to plot summaries of video games, movies, television show seasons, and books. As an avid editor, I also do my best to watch for vandalism and misinformation and excise it as quickly as possible. My goal is to use my knowledge to help improve pages, especially their plot sections. Whether or not my changes are accepted, if it eventually leads to improvements, then I feel I've contributed.

Every page I contribute to, no matter how minor, I stay around and help revert vandalism!

How to add hidden editor notes in an article

Have you ever needed to post an important message to all editors about an article, on the article itself, but thought it would stick out like a sore thumb and ruin the article if you did? Are you reverting many edits on an article because editors just aren't seeing the important message or special instructions on the talk page?

The solution is that you can insert hidden text in the article! That way, only the people editing the page will see your message! Here is how to insert a hidden comment:

  1. First, begin the comment by typing <!--
  2. Once you have done that, type what you need the editors to read
  3. Then, end the comment by typing -->

Once you have completed those 3 easy steps, you won't be reverting as many mistakes!

For example, the following hidden comment has been used in the Meaning of life article, in the Popular views section:

<!--Please do not add 42 in this section. It is covered under the section titled "Popular culture treatments". Thank you.-->

Some more examples of pages that have hidden messages include:
