WikiProjects

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 nine articles, all involving future albums (Era Vulgaris by Queens of the Stone Age, Fire up the Blades by 3 Inches of Blood, It's Time to See Religion Die by Head, Korn's eighth studio album, Korn Kovers by Korn, Metallica's ninth studio album, The Last Kind Words by DevilDriver, 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 is the administrator of a group on Facebook dedicated solely to all news regarding the 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, 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 to Windstorm until the completion or near-completion of the Tour section.
• Tour (And all subordinate links)

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.
