   '''Welcome to Chicken7's global Wikia userpage. Here you will find links to '''all other wikis I edit or have edited and other useful wiki information '''about me. Thankyou'''


 * to be expanded

Hey! I'm James, or more commonly known as Chicken7. I live in Melbourne, Australia. I enjoy wiki-ing very much and look as it as a addictive hobby. I will do various things from stuff like fixing spelling or code errors to tasks like major content addons. I categorize myself as a "proper community member" meaning someone who gets involved. I welcome new users, comment on wiki issues or requests and have a chat to other users about their edits or themselves. I am an administrator on many wikis so I do tasks like deleting pages and blocking those idiotic vandals too. I also like looking at deleted revisions of articles too Thanks.

I'm not a wikia helper, etc. But I am still happy to help! If you want help with wiki stuff (from notability to coding), leave me a line; I'd love to be of your [wiki] services!

I edit

 * Runescape Wiki - A comprehensive source of information about the MMORPG, Runescape. First wiki I edited and still my home wiki. I am an administrator there.
 * Banjo-Kazooie Wiki - An ever-growing encyclopedia about the Banjo-Kazooie video game series. I was there since the time when it started to actually get more users and grow. I am a bureaucrat there.
 * Cities XL - Wiki about the upcoming city-building game, Cities XL. Pretty much no activity, no users, no nothing. Maybe could get it off its feet in time for the game's release.

I did edit

 * Monopoly Wiki - Small but best source of information about the board game, Monopoly. I am an administrator there.

I might edit

 * Australia Wiki - Very small, very inactive but could become a very comprehensive encyclopedia. Probably won't edit as most infois at Wikipedia, but still thinking.
 * CHERUB Wiki - Fairly small, but I'm obsessed with the book series, so I might edit it.

Wikipedia
I also edit Wikipedia. It was my first wiki software experience. My first edit was on the 7th April, 2007.
