Ohaio, people of Wikia (and, by extension, the Internet)! BlazingStar, a.k.a. Star-chan here, one of two admins of the Hellsing wiki. I'm actually relatively new to Hellsing- I just finished watching and reading it February 2010. But I love it. And Alucard, too. Because he's awesome. And the series is awesome. And it's probably one of the best vampire stories ever told. And...enough of my gushing about Hellsing.

When I joined this wiki, I decided I'm going to help out this wiki as much as possible. I mean, it barely has 100 articles. Now,don't get me wrong, that's good, but for a series that's this well-loved and this widely known, that's a serious issue. So what do we need to do? That's right, kids- we need to get to work. And work I shall.

I mostly specialize in the writing and editing part, but I'm good with formatting and code if I'm shown how. I'm quite the grammar Nazi, and I will edit the crap out of your article or section if it isn't grammatically correct. However, I'm also quite lazy, so I am often late in editing and responding to posts on my Talk page. But worry not. It shall all get done...eventually. Me on Other Wikis

Here I am on the Change 123 Wiki. I'm an admin here, too!

And here I am on the Bleach Wiki. That place is amazing. It's so well organized and prompt. It's my role model for the Hellsing Wiki.

I only put my very latest projects and news here. The rest will be archived in my blog.

Hey, you know that feeling? That feeling you get when you're an admin, the only admin, bascially the most powerful user on the entire freaking wiki, and one of your wiki's users has more edits than you? Don't you HATE that feeling?

Uh huh. Me too.

You get a cookie if you can figure out which user I'm talking about.

To those of you who are asking, "Didn't you just make one of these yesterday?" Why, yes. Yes, I did.

After finally realizing that it may be a problem if users realize they can just change them however they want, I've protected all of the major template pages I can get my hands on. Sorry, but the whole point of templates is that they stay the same, no matter where they're put on the site.

I'm also going to change the character Infobox templates so that they look more like the other Infoboxes. I've been wanting to do that for a long time, but I've been dreading it because it requires coding. I'm going to do it anyway, though.

And speaking of templates, as a special gift to the awesome Gamma Venom 567, I'm going to make a Vehicles Infobox! He seems pretty set on making vehicles pages, after all.

( Note: I've reached my seven-hundredth edit! Edit #700 was protecting the last of the templates. Wohoo! ^_^)

Today, I noticed that the Hellsing Wiki has a Wikia Spotlight. Not an Animanga Wikia spotlight, which is when a wiki gets its name and logo featured in the Animanga box at the bottom of the Main Page. But a Wikia Spotlight, in which a wiki gets its name, a cool picture, and a tagline featured at the bottom of every page. I hadn't even applied for a Wikia Spotlight, so I thought this was pretty kickass. Does anybody else know how this happened?

I also deleted all of the Drifters articles today, after they were safely relocated to the Drifters Wiki thanks to the tremendous work of Gamma Venom 567. I suppose that was overdue, eh? The record of the deletion can be seen here.

Oh, and I absolutely LOVE the person who posted that picture of Arthur Hellsing on his page. It's so ''beautiful! ''Thank you, Laura Murphy! Q.Q

Argh...haven't been on the internet in two weeks. As one might expect, I am suffering withdrawal symptoms, and am also in the middle of vainly attempting to catch up on all the stuff I've missed. I am so sorry for abandoning you, Hellsing Wiki. Finals Week was a major drag.

So anyway, it appears I can delete pages now! As of...lessee, May 2, I have been given the power to delete stuff, and I think I can greet new users now, too. I never did get an explanation to why my power to delete disappeared with the arrival of Wikia's New Look, but oh, well.

Also, I'm going to be helping out with the startup of the Drifters Wiki, since Gamma Venom 567 kindly created all those Drifter pages and I wouldn't want them to go to waste. They'll find a good home there, I promise. ^_^

I'd like to give a shout-out to Hellsing Wiki user Gamma Venom 567 for creating a bunch of pages for Hirano-sensei's other works; way to go, dude! And thanks to all the other users who help fill out those pages. That entire category needs work, and it gives me something to do. Thanks, users! -mwah-

Favorite Hellsing Characters
In numbered order!
 * 1) Alucard. I mean, he's Alucard. Of course he's my favorite.
 * 2) Sir Integra Hellsing. I have the utmost respect for her as a woman. Not only does she command authority with an iron fist, but she is never weak, she's utterly focused, and did I mention she's a sharpshooter and a deadly fencer? Seriously, we need more chicks like that in anime.
 * 3) Schrodinger. He's so funny! And, as a result of his powers, unintentionally awesome. I also had a really tough time determining his gender in reading the manga. I mean, he's a neko (a cat-person), so you usually assume those are girls, right? I know I do.
 * 4) Seras Victoria. She has guns, she has superhuman strength, and later on, she gets totally badass, with the shadow-arm and all. She's a pretty good heroine, if I say so myself. (I wonder if her name is written in English as Seras, or Ceres, or Seres, or...)
 * 5) Pip. OMG, Pip is the man! He might be a bit trigger-happy, but the man knows his guns, and he's very honor-bound. He's actually quite the gentleman.
