"OOM 224, the Fastest Archiver in the West
or is it the East…?"
―Imperators II[1]

Hello <insert name here>, you have stumbled upon the user page of OOM 224, a Hong Konger–Scottish Wookieepedia contributor. While I'd been a reader of this site for years beforehand, the increase of new content with the birth of the new canon continuity set me on my jouney as an editor, becoming more active on Wookieepedia towards the end of 2020 and indelibly becoming a fan of everything Star Wars, from the 70s to the present (and beyond!).

I'm interested in making connections between different subjects, so you'll find that my edit history is riddled with eclectic edits of all sorts. I especially enjoy maintaining the timeline of galactic history, Abeloth, democracy, Palitoy, and The Vow of Silver Dawn pages. That said, go ahead and edit away; I'd love to see someone else help out with those unending projects!

Furthermore, I've been an administrator of the site since 2022 and am a member of the Inquisitorius, AgriCorps, and EduCorps article reviewing boards. I am active on the Wookieepedia Discord server and like to open up the recent changes log to help other users with their edits. You can always contact me by popping over to Discord (@o.o.m.), through my Wookieepedia talk page, or via my Community Central Message Wall.

Stuff that will have to be sorted by the end of time

"any time I see Dani and Manoof vote "Delete" on TC is fist pump-worthy :P"
"I should start adding "In the end times when every article is status, I will vote to un-TC this." :P"
"when you say "In the end times when every article is status" one can't help but imagine Wookieepedians sitting like Greek gods in council"
―Imp and Dani[1]

Read at your own discretion. Sorted in no specific order. For issues yet to be listed, just mention the phrase "end of time" in Discord and I'll add it here :P

    • Updating policy to reflect on how SW.com blog posts should be treated, and what goes into Sources vs. External links
