The following is a list of my major contributions here on Wikipedia since joining in March 2008. I mostly edit articles about The Simpsons and other television related articles, and I've been a member of WikiProject The Simpsons since August 2008. In addition to that, I have written some articles on painters, geography, video games, books, actors, etc. Enjoy! :) Theleftorium 21:50, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
