Welcome

These days, I mostly take a break from Wikipedia. I started years ago when I began edited the Tintin articles. As a young boy in 1966, my subscription to Children's Digest included serialized installments of The Adventures of Tintin. Reading it monthly, a single Tintin book took an entire year to read. Somehow that would make each books' unfolding denouement even more of a big deal. These serializations introduced the boy reporter to me, as well as to a few thousand other young readers in the US. Later, a family friend loaned us the entire library of Tintin books—despite the unlikelihood that an American would own any of them—greatly furthering my interest in Tintin. I joined Wikipedia in 2006 and began reading the English literature about Tintin, while keeping an eye on the Tintin files and articles (there are over 100 of them; occasionally going through tumultuous wiki-dramas of their own). At other times, working with other fine editors, I attempt to improve them, and other Wikipedia files and articles, when I can.

The meaning of my username

Since 1998, I've owned the domain name prhart.com. It's an abbreviation of my first name, my middle name, and my last name. I've almost always used it solely as an email domain so that I could have a custom personal email address. At first it came with a website, so for a few years I played with a few web pages—until I took the website down in 2011. I've happily used the email domain all this time.

About my edit count

I have a low edit count. I've never cared about it. I believe I've achieved a lot on Wikipedia with relatively few edits. If you must compare my edit count to others, perhaps triple mine first. I say this because I actually try to put as much work into a single edit as possible: I do only a single "save" to an article after a dozen or more changes, after each change hitting "preview", putting as much editing into the save as possible. I once created a new article and asked a trusted editor to polish it; after making several edits, they had the highest edit count for that article (their style was to click "save" after each change—the opposite of my style). I think you see what I mean: I wouldn't take too much stock in my edit count.

As a Wikipedia volunteer, it feels like I have accomplished a lot. I am proud of that.
