Greetings, Bulbapedians. My name, according to the top of this page is The dark lord trombonator. But please, let's leave the formalities out of this. You can just call me '''trom'''.
Greetings, Bulbapedians. My name, according to the top of this page is The dark lord trombonator. But please, let's leave the formalities out of this. You can just call me '''trom'''.


I'm an {{bp|administrator}} here, and a member of the {{bp|Editorial Board}}. I guess that means that sometimes I'm allowed to make decisions about how things get run. More probably, it means you can pester me if you want something done.
I've been using wikis since before they were cool: way back in 2005. That was about the same time Bulbapedia got started, but I was over on {{wp|Main Page|that other wiki}} then. I was a regular editor there for about three years or so. It was at that point, 2008, that I stumbled upon this wiki, got brainwashed, and got promoted to {{bp|administrator}}.


When I edit here I generally don't stick to a specific area. In fact, it would more seem that there are areas I ''don't'' stick to. You're likely to find me editing articles on the games, locations, anime, and (from time to time) manga; I fiddle around with templates and coding, too, and will always step in to resolve any kind of dispute.
These days, I'm a member of the {{bp|Editorial Board}}. I guess that means that sometimes I'm allowed to make decisions about how things get run. More probably, it means you can pester me if you want something done. In the staff restructure of 2010 I was given the portfolio of '''Community Development Officer'''. You can read about what that means down below.


So, if you've got any concerns or complaints about anything&mdash;including my editing!&mdash;feel free to bring that up on [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|my talk page]].
If you need me for any reason, the talk page is the best way to get a hold of me. I'm on here pretty much every day.

When you can find me away from Bulbapedia, I'm usually doing one of two things. Hmm... okay, three things. I'm studying towards a degree in Mathematics and Psychology at a university that gives me free internet, but also spend some time playing my beloved bass trombone, and working in a chocolate factory. Yes, that's right a chocolate factory. Go figure.

In brief

This user is statistically one of Bulbapedia's top contributors

Greetings, Bulbapedians. My name, according to the top of this page is The dark lord trombonator. But please, let's leave the formalities out of this. You can just call me trom.

I've been using wikis since before they were cool: way back in 2005. That was about the same time Bulbapedia got started, but I was over on that other wiki then. I was a regular editor there for about three years or so. It was at that point, 2008, that I stumbled upon this wiki, got brainwashed, and got promoted to administrator.

These days, I'm a member of the Editorial Board. I guess that means that sometimes I'm allowed to make decisions about how things get run. More probably, it means you can pester me if you want something done. In the staff restructure of 2010 I was given the portfolio of Community Development Officer. You can read about what that means down below.

If you need me for any reason, the talk page is the best way to get a hold of me. I'm on here pretty much every day.

so, um, life...

The hands aren't attached to the body! How totally freaking cool is that?
I'm a kiwi, born and bred. No, not the fruit: I'm from New Zealand. And no, I don't live in a hut or wear a grass skirt. Thanks for asking.

When you can find me away from Bulbapedia, I'm usually doing one of two things. Hmm... okay, three things. I'm studying towards a degree in Mathematics and Psychology at a university that gives me free internet, but I also manage to find enough time to fit in three or four musical groups (ex-professional trombone player at your service) and working in a chocolate factory. Yes, that's right a chocolate factory. Don't look so jealous. Of course I get free cheap chocolate.

my role in the pokémon fandom

And they say Pokémon's for kids... look at that sex appeal...
I was a late bloomer when it came into stepping into the fandom myself. As a child, I was fascinated by the games and anime, but never actually got around to getting my own game until 2008. I had Diamond first, played through my brother's FireRed for the legendaries and exclusives, and borrowed his Sapphire and Emerald to experience Hoenn. Heck yeah I'm keen for RS remakes.

These days... I have SoulSilver to keep me company. What's that? I'm still at Goldenrod after a month and a half? Got a problem? Didn't think so...

And no, I don't have wifi. Don't ask for a battle 'coz you won't get one.

what i do on the wiki

I've edited almost all over the wiki. I tend to be involved in cleanup and rewrites in the mainspace (in the games, anime, manga, and meta sections), and I throw my weight around on talk pages. In my role as the Community Development Officer, it's my job to make sure that you guys are feeling okay with the wiki. I'm happy to pass any complaints (especially regarding user relations) along to the rest of the board, so let me know if someone's being a flaming douche.

I'm also in charge of the Projects system, and the Golden Bulbasaur Awards. Know someone who's being a model user? Send me a private message or email (see below) and maybe they'll get something sparkly to make up for their blood, sweat, and tears.

The carrier pigeons probably won't reach me quickly enough for you to bother with them.

contact

Leaving a note for me on my talk page is usually the best way to get a hold of me. If you want to discuss something vaguely private, an email would be nice. Alternatively you could leave me a private message on the Bulbagarden Forums. I do have AIM, but I'd prefer to keep that address my little secret. Maybe I'll give it to you, if you give me enough cookies. I do enjoy a nice chocolate chip....
