I am TheSandDoctor

Hi there! I'm a computer science major by day, Wikipedia editor/administrator (since 16 June 2018) and bot operator by night. This is my website, feel free to take a look around. I live in western Canada and, contrary to what some might believe, the weather actually isn't that bad here. As an example, I haven't seen positive 40C in years. Then again, who can actually see temperatures? 😀 Seriously though, the rest of what I just said is true.

I have always had an interest in classic rock (the original rock and roll) and have been surrounded by the genre for most of my life. I may be younger than some, but I don't 'get' the "hip" and "cool" music of nowadays. I prefer music from a generation I am not a part of, the 60s-70s. The Rolling Stones and Beatles have been the soundtrack of my life. But, as the saying goes, to each their own.

If you want to talk about Wikipedia or the Rolling Stones, I am more than happy to do so.

What I actually do (on-wiki)

When I am not working on any of my three bots (DeprecatedFixerBot, TweetCiteBot, TheSandBot), I tend to spend my time patrolling for vandalism, reviewing newly created pages before they are indexed by major search engines, and helping out new users. If you have any questions about Wikipedia, I am one of the people you could contact with your questions. If I don't know the answer, odds are I can find someone who does and get back to you. Please keep in mind though that while I try to respond to all messages in a timely manner and am usually fairly quick, responses may take some time. It is important to keep in mind that, with the exception of Wikimedia Foundation staff who typically do not edit articles in an official capacity anyways, we are all volunteers and do this in our spare time.
