Hello. I'm a Wikipedia editor from Chicago, Illinois; these days, I bounce between the Clearing and Garfield Ridge areas. I'm greatly interested in politics, true crime, and video games; hence, I tend to edit articles of these subjects most frequently, with contributions ranging from minor edits to rewriting and expanding entire articles. Occasionally, I write articles on these topics from scratch.
I also enjoy adding infoboxes to articles and fixing the formatting of pre-existing infoboxes. Projects of mine have also included fixing bare URLs and adding citations.
If you're wondering where my username comes from, look no further than the Super Mario Galaxy duology. Collecting the 120 Green Stars in Super Mario Galaxy 2 was my favorite part of the game, though I also enjoy collecting them in Super Mario 3D World.
In addition to video games, I'm also interested in (and passionate about) writing, typing, coding, etc.
Here's two of my favorite rap verses, for some reason. Coincidentally, they both involve burgers and fries.
"Who am I? I'm that guy. I'm the burger with the fries."
If you're looking for something to do on Wikipedia, I have a few suggestions:
If you have the ability to do so, create articles in need of creation.
Rewrite and expand articles in need of rewritting and expansion, otherwise known as stubs.
Update articles in need of updating.
Skim articles for grammatical errors and typos. Copyediting is important too!
Add infoboxes to biographical articles, or correct the formatting of pre-existing infoboxes. Check here for suggestions.
Go to the list of new pages and check the most recently created articles for spelling, grammar, formatting, etc. A good number of these articles will lack references, a DEFAULTSORT value, and/or categories. You can add some yourself, or add a template or two to alert other editors if you're not sure what to do.
Welcome new users, providing them with information about the basics of editing Wikipedia.
Give barnstars to users in recognition of major (or minor) contributions.
Check the recent changes page and thank users for their contributions. It's nice to feel appreciated!
If you're able to, create your own user page. Add on to your user page as desired. Create a userbox tower and award yourself a ribbon.

Just to thank you for your observations and efforts regarding myself and others. Your integrity and motivations are appreciated. Any efforts I can make to return the time and devotion, feel free to let me know. All the best. Kieronoldham (talk) 04:39, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Just letting you know your benign diligence has not gone unnoticed by myself and, most likely, many others. Kieronoldham (talk) 01:15, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

The Featured Article Medal
By the authority vested in me by myself it gives me great pleasure to present you with this special, very exclusive award created just for we few, we happy few, this band of brothers, who have shed sweat, tears and probably blood, in order to be able to proudly claim "I too have taken an article to Featured status".

The Minor barnstar
Glad to see more people who specialize in Nintendo! I know because I've seen you gradually show up more and more on my watchlist since I have so many random articles on there.
I was there for the start of Paper Mario' creation ~4 years ago, because I created it, and it's nuts (and hilarious) to see glaring problems like this go unnoticed by the dozens of hands that have reviewed it and touched it since. Your cleanup and technical fixes are very much appreciated! Panini!•🥪 05:05, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
