Again, I'maWikipedian who eats vandalism/spam for breakfast and fights LTAs, but I'm also a dude in real life attending college. Despite my nickname being 64andtim, my name is not actually Tim. Any other username that rhymes with my username is most likely an impersonator, including {{noping|666&tim}} and most notably {{noping|63andtim}}, whom they may be blocked forever and probably locked globally. |

I first started |
I first started to edit Wikipedia by creating my user page, with some userboxes and some text. My second edit included this [[Special:Diff/1154364120|diff]] that some people may call this a mistake, but I was a very new user at the time andI was trying to help the project, rather than just harm it. After installing [[Wikipedia:RedWarn|RedWarn]], it made my life so much easier when reverting vandalism and spam, but sometimes (and rarely) I make some kind of mistake by accident. |

You may call me 64andtim, 64, or Tim (but again, the latter is not my real name, and thus my real name remains confidential). |

Hello, everyone. I primarily fight vandalism, spam, and sometimes somebody on the list of the most wanted users on the English Wikipedia. In addition to fighting local vandalism and spam on this project, I am also active on other projects; you'll most likely find me on the Simple English and Spanish Wikipedias, and Meta-Wiki.

You may call me 64andtim, 64, or Tim (but again, the latter is not my real name, and thus my real name remains confidential).
I use a variety of tools, such as AntiVandal, Huggle, Twinkle, Ultraviolet, and sometimes SWViewer on my phone. When I use my personal laptop, I use Huggle; when I use my college-issued laptop or a college computer, AntiVandal.
When I've got rollback enabled on my account, I've started using rollback-requiring tools to fight vandalism and spam much easier and faster than if I were to manually revert such edits. I use Selective Rollback to do mass rollbacks, add an edit summary when reverting, etc. Next, I became a pending changes reviewer, which allows me to review and revert edits on pages protected by pending changes. My CVUA training page can be found here, and while you might see some errors I have made, it greatly enhanced my ability to detect vandalism in which it now requires both my judgement and senses.
For other stuff related to vandalism and spam, I'd encounter grossly offensive/libelous or promotional usernames (both have to be reported if they do their stuff which means bad or promotional edits I have to revert). For cross-wiki related stuff, I combat obvious vandalism and spam on other wikis in addition to eswiki and simplewiki.
If anybody claiming to be me asks you to create an article in exchange for money, please do not accept their offerasit is a scam; the same goes for somebody else impersonating me and soliciting paid editing work for you; forward the evidence directly to paid-en-wpwikipedia.org (for AfC scams) or legalwikimedia.org (for paid editing work claims).
As for LTAs, I know a few of them and I can tell by their activities; I deny recognition to them while simultaneously reverting their edits. Sometimes, they vandalize other projects and I have to go there to "clean up" after them. Anyway, for the English Wikipedia, a specific LTA sometimes can make me lose my calm a little bit.
For speedy deletions, I mostly tag promotional user pages under G11 and other user pages/sandboxes that apply under U5.
I respond to false positives from edit filters on Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives/Reports, and participate at the edit filter noticeboard. For now, I do not have the edit filter helper user right, but I would like to help out in reducing the backlog of private filter false positives, and to view their logs as part of my anti-vandalism work to identify certain LTAs. For those who are interested in helping out with edit filter FPs, I would highly recommend using FilterDebugger.
I was blocked for one week because someone thought I engaged in the good and bad hands of sockpuppetry, but that wasn't the case at all; some LTA made multiple accounts to impersonate me and some other users, and they were all blocked but that also included my main and alt account(s) for some reason. After a few moments, both of my legitimate accounts were unblocked per discussion on my talk page. You may wish to view my block log if you want.
RIP my no-block streak. :(
I have never edited Wikipedia for pay, and I will never plan to do so in the future, unless if stated otherwise.
I operate an alternative account, 64andsomeone (talk · contribs), which is used on public computers, unsecure networks, and/or when my main account could be potentially compromised. For security purposes, I have enabled two-factor authentication on my main account, and on all projects.
If you want to leave me a message, I will be more than happy to respond to your message on my my user talk page, or if you have any sensitive concerns, emailing me is preferred. If you leave me a message in Spanish, I will reply in that language in my talk page here or on eswiki.
One more thing, I am a mentor, and if you are a new user in need of help, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page.

The Death of Marat is a 1793 painting by Jacques-Louis David depicting the artist's friend and murdered French revolutionary leader, Jean-Paul Marat. It was painted when David was the leading French Neoclassical painter, a Montagnard, and a member of the revolutionary Committee of General Security. Created in the months after Marat's death, the painting shows Marat lying dead in his bath after his murder by Charlotte Corday on 13 July 1793. Art historian T. J. Clark called David's painting the first modernist work for "the way it took the stuff of politics as its material, and did not transmute it".Painting credit: Jacques-Louis David
