Vixen Windstorm is a Stage 3 Wikipediholic and is often contributing to Wikipedia and other wikis. As of May 2007 he is registered to Wikipedia (main & contribs), NinWiki (main & contribs), and MansonWiki (main & contribs), although he is not as active in contributing to NinWiki recently. Aside from being a system operator, or administrator, providing MansonWiki with removing wikilinks from implicitly copied articles and adding touch-ups, Windstorm has created articles for intricate topics deemed unnecessary in the general Wikipedia, such as song articles and other information (similar to the tediousness of NinWiki).
On Wikipedia, Windstorm's contributions have been varied as he reports articles with news and sources that are fairly recent and still unmentioned (at that moment). Currently he monitors and stays fairly current with eleven articles, all involving future albums (Avenged Sevenfold by Avenged Sevenfold, Cannibal Corpse's eleventh studio album, CexCells by Blaqk Audio, Death Rap by Necro, It's Time to See Religion Die by Head, King Mathers by Eminem, Korn Kovers by Korn, Metallica's ninth studio album, Slipknot's fourth studio album, The Unquestionable Truth (Part 2) by Limp Bizkit, and Violent Acts of Beauty by London After Midnight). Recently he has even taken up collaborating with per request of user Goldenglove to work on an article for Marilyn Manson's official website. On May 23, 2007 the initial page was launched and can be viewed here (if anyone has any information regarding the website in question during 1998 and 1999, or the Mechanical Animals era, your potential contribution to this page is appreciated). Windstorm re-formatted the page to fit MansonWiki standards, and ported it there later that afternoon.
Also similarly to updating MansonWiki with critical Marilyn Manson information, Windstorm was the administrator of a group on Facebook dedicated solely to all news regarding the then-upcoming Manson album, Eat Me, Drink Me. Until closing in June 5, 2007, the group was maintained consistently with updates regarding news, photos of images and people involving the album, official lyrics, and interviews, and was up to 33 members (not an incredible statistic, but a core fanbase nonetheless). The group was viewable to anyone registered with Facebook here, although it was closed on the official world release of Eat Me, Drink Me.
MansonWikiProjects
Aside from moderating the site for vandalism or unnecessary edits by good-faith, Windstorm is responsible for the creation and expansion of literally hundreds of pages since joining the primitive and fresh version of the site sometime around March 20, 2007. On May 29, 2007 Windstorm was granted system operator of MansonWiki, initially under the username Rtiztik, and could since continue contributing to the site, more meticulous and regulated than ever before.
Although most contributions occurred during March-April 2007, Windstorm still often contributes to the site in his spare time. Current projects he is partaking in (besides the general expansion of the site) are:
- Adding Album credits sections to album/EP articles, as directly lifted from the booklets. (Litso can also be found doing this task)
- Marilyn Manson Paintings
- Subordinate links in List of Marilyn Manson bootlegs (Although this is a lesser priority, Litso can also be found doing this task)

Godsolid
- Vixen Windstorm and The Tank are planning to record an album of covers and an album of original tracks, with no actual recording dates given. Initially the recording sessions were supposed to be sometime during Spring or Summer 2007, but due to Tank's commitment to the Army during a summer program, the recording sessions will be on hiatus until nowhere prior to Winter 2007, or early-2008. During this time Windstorm will shift focus to recording his solo debut album The Harmful Effects of Falling in Love. Windstorm has also expressed interest in possibly drafting a session keyboardist.

Quotes
- By the evening of July 8, 2007, an unregistered member of Wikipedia who consistently vandalized the article for It's Time to See Religion Die, an upcoming album by ex-Korn guitarist Brian Welch, had been creating topics on the article's Talk page expressing hate for the artist (Welch), and for Windstorm who had been reverting his uncivil comments. After dozens of direct insults on himself and Brian Welch, Windstorm's response was as follows:
- "I've been deleting your comments dating even as far back as May because you clearly have nothing insightful to say here at Wikipedia. A couple of times I decided as your comments were already in the history of the page, that they might as well appear on the page [itself]; so after someone else deleted them, I added them back. Like I said, not because they were insightful, because they are not, but because they had been ultimately marked part of the page. So just to comply with your immature attitude, I've added back every one of your posts, and not like you deserve it, but I'll give you my word that I won't delete them. Instead we're going to wait for someone else to delete them, and when they do you'll see, whether you realize it or not, that your obscene comments are not welcome here."

- On the night of July 12, 2007, a registered member of The Heirophant created a forum thread in regards to expressing a hate for Marilyn Manson's current girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood, citing such statements as "hating her guts" and wanting her to die. Windstorm, often one to respond to such ignorant arguments with exceedingly intricate and elaborate disapproval, the response was as follows:
- "Leave it to an apparent emo named EmO to bitch about why Evan Rachel Wood is worth hating and deserves to die. She's been in some cool movies, she's a pretty good person, she looks great; so did you hate her and want her to die before you knew who she was, aka before she went out with Manson. She was famous before that, but don't tell me you watched Thirteen or Pretty Persuasion and immediately at the end of either film found yourself saying, "God this girl should die, I hate her." Get a life, or find the maturity to not complain about a relationship that has barely been harbored yet. She lets Manson express himself, over Dita's thesis to make Manson "grow up". Some people don't like Eat Me, Drink Me, but Manson's dead-set that it's his greatest record to date, and that I find really counts for something. I'd say that's a good start to analyzing whether or not she's good for Manson, or good at all."
