• I've been participating in Wikipedia since 17:36, 23 March 2005 — starting out as
  JButler
  . I didn't like that account name, because of its funky capitalization (i.e., Jbutler and jbutler don't equal JButler on Wikipedia). When I realized you could create an account name with a space in it, I switched to Jeremy Butler (27 August 2005).
  • Under the deprecated account, "JButler," I made 135 edits. And as "Jeremy Butler," I have made 11,876 edits (as of May 15, 2024)—for a total of 12011 edits. Xtools maintains an up-to-date edit count. I'm mostly interested in articles dealing with folk music and film and television studies.
