 Greetings. The name's Walkazo, as you may have guessed from this page's title. I'm a [[Special:Listusers/sysop|Sysop]] here on the Super Mario Wiki, so feel free to ask me anything (within reason) and I'll do my best to help you out. I used to share this account with my little brother, [[User:Pantaro Paratroopa|Pantaro Paratroopa]], but not anymore; so if you're looking for him, go there (but don't expect a response - he hasn't edited in months).
-Now about me... Well, I love ''Mario'' stuff, but I hate {{fakelink|Mario}} himself. I dream of the day [[Nintendo]] creates a game in which [[Bowser]] is the titular character (''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story|M&L3]]'' is close, though) and finally gets his long-awaited victory over that accursed plumber. I also hope that some day the people at Nintendo will make sense of all the Marioverse/timeline issues they've cooked up over the years. Unfortunately, neither is likely to happen anytime soon, so I compensate with writing Bowser-centric [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1187666/Walkazo fanfiction] and my own personal writeup of the ''Mario'' series (an ongoing project) which will only truly be complete once I realize my dream of playing all the ''Mario'' games in existence (even the "bad" ones like ''[[Mario is Missing]]''). Another thing I'm working on is an evolutionary chart for all the Koopas, including Bowser's species which infuriatingly has not been given an official name and is therefore devoid of a page here on the Wiki (I call them [[Dragon-Koopa]]s).
+Now about me... Well, I'm 19 years old, I live in Toronto, Canada, and I'm currently studying to be an [[wikipedia:Ornithology|ornithologist]] - although I'm interested in many other branches of zoological science as well, like genetics and evolution. I also love ''Mario'' stuff (obviously), although I sympathize with {{fakelink|Bowser}} much more than the titular plumber himself, and split my computer time between editing the wiki and writing Koopa-centric [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1187666/Walkazo fanfiction]. Around the wiki, I try my best to keep track of [[MarioWiki:Proposals|Proposals]] and other such policy debates, and while most of my edits are maintenance work, if I come across poorly written articles on my rounds, I usually sit down and try to fix it. One pet-project I have on the go is to mash as many of the games as I can into one comprehensive timeline that goes along with my fanfiction. I already made [http://pics.livejournal.com/walkazo/pic/0002bz0s/g1 a (partial) world map], although I had to tweak or completely ignore quite a few in-game maps to make it work. Another thing I'm working on is an evolutionary chart for all the Koopas, including Bowser's species (which I call [[Dragon-Koopa]]s, seeing as an ''official'' name hasn't actually been made yet).
-I'm not nearly as consistently active here on the Super Mario Wiki as I'd like to be, mostly thanks to school. I primarily do maintenance work (especially fixing italicizing and spacing), but if I come across poorly written articles on my rounds, I usually sit down and try to fix it. I also like sticking my nose in policy debates, mostly about [[MarioWiki:Chronology|Chronology]] and [[MarioWiki:Canonicity|Canonicity]]; call me strange (which I am), but I find these fascinating.
+Between my editing, writing and my education, I don't have as much time as I'd like to play the actual video games themselves, but I manage to squeeze a few in here and there, and I'm always on the lookout for new titles to add to my collection. My favourite games are ''Super Mario World'', ''Super Mario Bros. Deluxe'', ''Super Paper Mario'', ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' and ''Yoshi's Safari'' (I love my Super Scope).
