User:Tupka217

Hi. I'm Tupka217. I also answer to Tupka, Tup, and The User Previously Known As 217.something.or.other. I'm a Dutch guy, a uni graduate who's currently "freelance part-time working from home", as we call it. I enjoy comics, animation, voice actors, mythopoeia, and have an unhealthy love for Wonder Woman.

I've been editing wikis since January 2008 and first became an admin in August of that year, on the non-wikia Tolkien Gateway. I joined wikia in November 2008, though I had been editing anonymously before that, as 217.something.or.other... I was hesitant to make an account at first, fearing it would take up too much of my time.

It did.

I'm now an admin at the DCAU wiki, the the DC Database and the Young Justice wiki. Of the many faces of the admin, I am the janitor and the hall monitor. I'm concerned with large cleanup projects, clearing out old relics, managing images, checking recent changes, enforcing policies, and talking with new users. Though I like to live by the mantra "we were all newbs once", I can't remember my own newb days and can be somewhat impatient. And rude. But I usually cool down after a bit.

I came here the way anyone does... to ask for help. I ended up checking out everything, and helping out here and there. I'm useless on technical, but I can handle community management and minor, non-code issues.
