Argento Surfer is a longtime user of Wikipedia. His first edit was in 2005 as an IP in a deletion discussion. He continued making sporadic IP edits until August 2011 when he viewed the Adam Warlock article and found it very poorly written, both in style and content. After creating his user profile, Argento proceded to prune the article of fancruft and improve its organization. His efforts were recognized by Tenebrae, who suggested Argento apply his efforts toward other articles in need on the Comic clean up list.
Between March 2012 and April 2013, Argento addressed over 5500 issues and removed over 3000 articles from the list. Most of his edits were done while at work, and his editing was greatly diminished when he received a promotion in May 2013. His efforts shifted from the clean up list to article creation and expansion. His first article to reach GA status was MIND MGMT in June 2013. In June of 2016, he received another promotion which allowed him to return to active editing. Most of his current efforts are limited to maintaining his watchlist. His first featured article was Archie vs. Predator in March 2017, and his first featured article to be included on the main page was The Fade Out. While it is only GA-class, he is most proud of his work on The Infinity Gauntlet.
In 2023, Argento found a new employer and was no longer able to edit from work, promting his retirement.
^I found this article in draft space because it linked to MIND MGMT. The oddball nature appealed to me enough that I raised it to FA status.
^ abcdefgI improved these articles and nominated them for DYK exclusively to earn points in the WikiCup.
^I found this as a rejected draft and helped get it to mainspace standards.
^I found this article while cleaning up old weasels and thought it was neat.
^ abcThese articles were GA nominated by another editor who left Wikipedia due to medical issues was blocked as a sock. I addressed issues raised by the reviewer.
