Nickname due to the Futurama character. A long time ago...

My very first contribution to the English Wikipedia, came as an IP on July 22, 2004. Since then, about 90% of my contributions have been copy-editing like:

• cleaning up incomplete citations,
• adding unique identifiers (such as GND) to biographies,
• restructuring articles in accordance to our guidelines, such as MOS:APPENDIX,
• fixing imperfect typesetting (like replacing - with –, —, or −, depending on what is appropriate),
• and most of all: fixing typos.

Most recently, I started an effort to move various external links to HTTP Secure, as discussed at WP:VPP. Here's why. And why it's efficient. For this purpose, I run a bot account appropriately named Bender the Bot (talk · contribs) since August 2016.
