[edit] Who am I?

I am a 19 year-old man who has been a Wikipedian since June 4, 2005 and I've become an addicted Wikipedian 16 days later. My real name is Bobby Roy, I don't mind if you call me Bob. I contribute a lot to the English Wikipedia, even though I speak Quebec French, living in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I don't think finishing all the work here is possible, but it can get better and better with time, always growing. The fields in which I contribute the most are images, media and Final Fantasy related things, I'm part of the WikiProject Final Fantasy, an attempt to build a comprehensive guide to the world of Final Fantasy. Outside of Wikipedia, I'm currently studying in infographie en préimpression at Collège Ahuntsic. An english equivalent would be desktop publishing.

[edit] What do I like?

I like the Final Fantasy series, in fact, most computer role-playing games. I am a gamer who doesn't like online games, so I play a lot of games for long hours, but I don't like MMORPGs and can't stand playing multiplayer shooters for too long. Other than the Final Fantasy series, I like pretty much the Dragon Quest series, the Metal Gear Solid series, the Ratchet & Clank series, the Jak and Daxter series, etc. I am also an old school gamer, I love to play DOS classics, especially Lucasarts' classic adventure games. I like humour very much, but I also like complex and serious stories and I find that Final Fantasy VII contains both elements (although one could not agree with me). I like animes and films. Finally, I like the Dragon Ball manga being nearly the only thing I ever read in my life apart from school work, I'm not a reader. But then again, Dragon Ball isn't the only thing I read, I also read comic books, I own a lot of classic Marvel Comics from the The Amazing Spider-Man series, as well as the The Incredible Hulk, the The Fantastic Four and the The Uncanny X-Men series, and I might soon get into graphic novels. Also, I might add that I am a fan of François Pérusse, which should only be relevant to Québécois. I also almost forgot that one, but I like professional wrestling.

[edit] What have I done (or could do)?

I've made thousands of edits including the English and French Wikipedia and Commons, more than a thousand of my edits being media. My technical abilities include a high knowledge of Adobe Photoshop CS2, Adobe Indesign CS2 and Adobe Illustrator CS2, basic (for now) knowledge of layout, typography and pre-press. I intend to get all Final Fantasy related articles to featured article status one day, or at least good enough to satisfy me. You can help this by joining the WikiProject Final Fantasy, but please, no vandalism as this is useless and will be removed soon enough and also consider what you say (is it needed, encyclopaedic?) and cite your sources, at least for controversial material. Don't forget that I am there to help if you need it, be it in terms of Wikipedia's policies or other kind of information relating to something I might know. With the graphical skills I have, you could also ask for me to help you with an image.

[edit] Current status

I plan to put 30 seconds of audio samples for each Final Fantasy related album. I am currently updating Final Fantasy related albums with their original Japanese track names when available. I am also uploading covers for most of the games I own. For those interested, I should have all of my time after school and my last day is officially on May 23.

[edit] Fun facts

• DarkEvil is a nickname which emerged out of my brain at some point in 2001 (outside of Wikipedia). It was against my knowledge that such a bizarre nick was in fact used by lots of people. Just do a Google search and you'll see, most of these people, probably all of them, aren't the same DarkEvil as me.
• Where I live, Montreal (Quebec), the name Bobby is not very common. This happens to be my name and each time I say it to someone, they end up saying something like: "Is it really your name?"
• I am a man with long hair and often a ponytail, a growing beard and I am obese (not as much as the example image of the obesity article, but a little bit obese, but tall) which makes some people compare me to the Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons.
• Since studying in desktop publishing, now when I look at something I say: "This is not typographically correct" or "Look at the bad quality of this print", I also get a little mad when I see bad quality images because of poor scans or as a result of bad digital image editing of all sorts. I only recently realized that it's weird to note such things!

[edit] My quote

Here is one quote I thought of, I say that this is my quote, but someone might have said something alike: "Humans are always searching for a way to hate each other, when it's not religion, it's their skin color. When it's not their skin color, it's their different way of thought. This sometimes makes me want to change species!"
