electAbuzzzz (Hebrew: אלקטבאזזזז electabuzzzz) is an Electric-type administrator on Bulbapedia. He evolved from a baby version of himself, and will probably someday evolve into an adult version of himself. He prefers to keep pressing the B-button, though. He claims his religion is Arceusism, and refers to himself as an Arceusist. He's kinda awesome. He really is.
Personal information
Born
May 4,
1987 in
Israel,
Gal Peter (Hebrew:
גל פטר; Gal means
Wave in Hebrew. It's a common name in Israel) is an average guy. He is currently 22 years old and lives in
Herzliya, which is a city on the Mediterranean coast of Israel not far from
Tel-Aviv. He likes spending his free time with his friends, and
water-skiing on his boat in the
Kinneret.
Gal has finished his three years of military service in the Israeli Defence Forces in July 2008. On November 2nd 2008, he embarked on a six-months post-army backpacking trip throughout Australia, New Zealand, and Thailand (sort of like a Pokémon journey without Pokémon, if you you'd like), and therefore had to take a hiatus from Bulbapedia.
He returned home on May 7th 2009, after an exciting and challenging trip full of new experiences and challenges. He currently works as a, umm, well... all sorts of stuff. And things. Stuff on weekends, and things on weekdays. Yeah.
Pokémon community history
Gal first learned of
Pokémon in Junior High through a
Base Set Theme Deck his friend Asaf brought home from a trip to the States. When Pokémon finally reached Israel in late 1999, first in the form of the
anime and later in the
Pokémon games, Gal was instantly hooked, and
electAbuzzzz was born.
For a while, electAbuzzzz had a column called ThunderPunch in the now-defunct Israeli Pokémon website, Pokémon Non-Stop (commonly known as PNS), which was very popular among Israeli fans. At the time, PNS was run by his friend Daniel, who "inherited" the website from its previous owners. When PNS started fading away, electAbuzzzz decided to mingle deeper in the English Pokémon community through SNF. He was an active member there for several years, and recieved the nickname buzzzzy by his friends.
electAbuzzzz joined Bulbapedia in March 2007. On June 21st, 2009, he was given administrator powers by the editorial board. Buzzy's additional duties on Bulbapedia include leading his baby projects, Project Music and Project Globe, and overseeing the article featuring process.
Buzzzzy was already nominated to administratorship back in September 2008, but as expected, the nomination was rejected due to his long hiatus (see second paragraph). He has since returned from said hiatus and is now fully back on Bulbapedia.
electAbuzzzz's friends on Bulbapedia usually refer to him as Buzz (or Buzzy, or Buzzo, or any other variation of the sort. There was even one buzzy-boy).

My work on Bulbapedia
While I try to contribute to all areas of Bulbapedia, my contributions have been mainly to the following sections:
- Music - This is the section I'm most devoted to. I created many articles on songs, musicians, and CDs, and I also founded a Bulbapedia Project devoted to music, and appointed its leader.
- Project Globe - my second baby project is one that I'm very proud of. Check out its articles. They sure are different.
- Featured articles - I was appointed the admin in charge of featured articles.
- History of Pokémon article. My baby got featured!
- I have also done many other TCG disambigs since, helping to complete the project.
- Pokémon Adventures - Well, I recently started reading the manga especially for the purpose of helping out with Project Manga. I'm waiting until I'm finished, but once that happens I'll help out more in that section.
- Anime Pokémon characters articles. Recently I wrote an official Bulbapedia notability policy to help control the masses of articles on that section. I have also joined Project Anime.
- Characters of the day articles. I am a member of Project COD, though lately I've been neglecting this area.
- Voice actors - recently I joined this project to create some VA articles.
- Adding pictures where needed (I have a collection of thousands of Pokémon-related pictures from all possible canons that I've been collecting for many years now).
My subpages
- Quality - an editorial essay for a better Bulbapedia.
- Pokémon designed after animals or plants - this used to be a mainspace article that was started by someone else, but the users couldn't agree on anything about it and it became a mess. Eventually we decided it's more fitting in the userspace.
- Hebrew - this is how a Hebrew member of EP would potentially look like. No, I have no intention of making such a wiki, it would be pointless on every level. I was just toying with the thought.
- Sandbox - Well, you know what a sandbox is. No need to explain.
