Hi, this is Crisco 1492; I operate one alternative account, Crisco 1492 mobile. I'd like to thank you for taking time to read my profile, and wish you success with any articles you write in the future.
Overview
I am a Canadian who studied Indonesian literature in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, from 2008 through 2019. I became a Wikipedian on 20 June 2005. I started by making minor adjustments such as fixing typos and adding comments to the discussion pages of articles where I found things contrary to my understanding of Wiki-policy. Now I do a lot of work in page creation, especially articles related to Indonesia. I also participate in numerous places around Wikipedia, including AFD, FP, FA, FL, and GA.
On 26 October 2012 I became the seventh Wikipedian to earn a Steeplechase award, with five pieces of featured content (all related to Indonesia). On 1 December of the same year, an article I wrote, Frank's Cock, became what may be the first article to run in DYK after having reached featured article status. I am also current champion of the competition for the shortest DYK hook: ... ?. See screenshot below:
I was mostly retired between 2018 and 2023. Since returning to editing, I have focused less on Indonesia topics; most articles have been related to republican China. I've also begun contributing photographs of concerts and of dragshows. Those contain some of my favourites; I wish I were able to bring proper kit into venues!
About me
I was born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada on 15 March 1989. I graduated from J. L. Forster Secondary School in 2006. After graduation, I was one of the Rotary Youth Exchange students from the Windsor district (6400 at the time). I hold a bachelor's degree in Indonesian literature from Sanata Dharma University (doing my undergraduate thesis on Sindhunata's Putri Cina) and an M.A. from Gadjah Mada University (with my thesis on the adaptation of novels to films in the Dutch East Indies). I completed four years of a doctorate program, again at Gadjah Mada.
For being really helpful and giving great advice to a bunch of folks at WP:RFF when I happened to be looking, and for generally being equally helpful all around the 'pedia. Keep it up! Bob House 884 (talk) 00:44, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
The Special Barnstar
Awarded for contributions at DYK relating to albums by Chrisye, perhaps one of the coolest artists that ever lived. Also, for the encouragement you gave me in reaching for the stars. You have already made my day twice, and you've never even met me. That takes skill. :) Starstriker7(Talk) 16:16, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank You for the step-by-step instructions on uploading images to Commons. To some editors it may be easy to upload...to others, not so easy. Thank You! -- MelbourneStar☆(talk to me) 11:35, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
Nice work! Congratulations on getting 25 articles featured on DYK. In particular, your articles related to Indonesia cover an all-too-often ignored region and are a great asset to Wikipedia. Thank you! OCNative (talk) 07:24, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

The Teamwork Barnstar
For the willingness to work on articles others have seemingly abandoned because they are WP:BUSY, and for reminding them that comprehensiveness of Wikipedia does not depend on one person's availability. —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 18:36, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
Belated congratulations are in order, as you are among the select band of Wikipedians who have created or expanded fifty articles featured in the "Did you know?" section of the Main page, achieving this in only three months between May and August 2011. Focussing on Indonesian subjects, your wide-ranging contributions have also included such titles as Taaffeite and Women in Madagascar. Many congratulations, again!

On the occasion of your 200th DYK, another barnstar. Not only have you substantially filled in Wikipedia's content in the badly lacking areas of Indonesian politics and entertainment, you've also branched out into French painting and French film without sacrificing a bit of quality. I realize this is your fifth or sixth tireless contributor barnstar, but hey... you're just that tireless. Khazar (talk) 23:54, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
Since 22 September 2011 the number of articles you have created or expanded which have appeared in the "Did you know?" section of the Main page has increased from one to two hundred, almost an article a day throughout that period and a notable achievement. While still mining the rich vein of Indonesian subjects, you continue to spread your wings. Many congratulations! Moonraker (talk) 07:32, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for getting another Bach cantata to the Main page, the last one for a while.

Your article was published today, and it's an informative read. It's strange trying to look back in on ourselves but hopefully you've helped with that and with outside perception. Thanks! GRAPPLEX 13:42, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
Hi Chris, I've only just seen that you've gone. I know the feeling of being fed up and needing to get away, and I can only hope that you come back again at some point when you're ready for it. The place is much poorer without you, but I hope you are enjoying fatherhood in between the studying! Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 10:31, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

I love seeing all of the work you do on China-related articles! I've felt a little alone in the subject area and seeing someone else hard at work improving content in this field (especially in regards to late Qing and Republican stuff, my specialty) makes me so happy to see.
