Welcome to my userpage!! Links to most of my subpages are found at the top. Thanks to Rock drum for the user logo! My favorite color is turquoise, but I changed the background to a pale turquoise to be easier on the eyes.

This user tries to do the right thing. If they make a mistake, please let them know.
I am a female. I live somewhere in the United States of America. I'm younger than you think, so please be patient!! I tend to ask a lot of questions. I'm also fairly new to Wikipedia--I started on May 13, 2010. My name is NOT Glimmer, nor is this a reference to a very minor character in The Hunger Games. It's just a something I'm working on...and probably SHOULD be editing right now, rather than Wikipedia.
To find out more about me, please look at the userboxes on the side or the drop-downs below.
I am also good friends in real life with Lily075, who I can't get to edit very much.
I began working on more film and television-related articles recently, mainly with references. I shifted to improving the quality of Doctor Who episode pages and I have got the fifth series to a Good Topic. I am currently working on the sixth series now, and keeping track of the seventh as it emerges. I also help out with The X-Files.
I also help out with the Good Article backlog with article formats I am familiar with.
Everything I do on Wikipedia is manual. I do not use Huggle, Twinkle, or anything else because they don't work on Internet Explorer 8, which is what I use. However, I do have Rollback rights and use that to help revert vandalism (though it seems someone is always quicker than me). I also like fixing wikilinks, expanding reference info, and patrolling recent pages.
My biggest pet peeve is references that are just bare urls or don't use proper citation templates, like {{cite web}}.
Pages I have created
(in order, not including disambiguations or redirects turned articles)
I'm dialing it back to pursue my own creative hobbies. I got kind of burnt out, and now I'm going to try to work on one thing at a time. Maybe bigger things.
I make mistakes, too! I'm okay at spelling, but there are just some words I tend to type wrong. And then there are the usual typos.
What happens when you transfer something from your sandbox quickly: [2]
Once I told my friend to read over this article to see if there was anything she did not understand as I was planning to nominate it for GA once my others had been reviewed, and she looked at me and said, "It was watched by 6.49 people?" And I said, "Yeah! That's not that bad!" She repeated, "6 and a half people?" And I said again, "Yes!" A little while later I realized I had left out the "million" and hurried over to the computer to add it. Then I did it again. There are several examples of this.

The WikiProject Doctor Who Award
For all the work that you are doing cleaning up the Doctor Who articles - my apologies that this isn't a real TARDIS. MarnetteD | Talk 17:45, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks so much for helping with the GA review. It might seem like a small thing but it really helped me, a newbie to GAs make the article better. Maybe I'll try for a FA in a little bit :). Kangaroopowah 20:11, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello Glimmer721, I saw that you have been doing some really nice work on Wikipedia, including loads of work on Doctor Who GAs, but also Doctor Who articles elsewhere; so I thought that you deserved to be the fourth recipient of the 'Really Nice View' award.
