Just in general, about me

[edit]

Hey. Glad you're reading this, I guess. Sorry it's a mess - I haven't bothered to fully revamp the userpage in years.

I'm an adult, I live in the Pacific Northwest. Right now a lot of my editing is "backstage" type. Archive links, vandal reverting, that sort. I don't edit particularly consistently or on any sort of schedule, but I'll try to respond to talk page messages (and emails - but talk page is almost certainly faster) in a timely fashion. I used to work the top 25 - I might still in the future, but it's not anything I actively do right now. I also used to archive noticeboards, but.. eh. There's bots for that.

I'm interested in a lot of topics relating to music - this reflects in the articles I choose to edit, I guess. I play a few instruments myself, though nothing professional.

I have a variety of mental atypicalities. That said, I expect to be held to exactly the same editing standard as anyone without those atypicalities.

Refer to me however you'd like. I generally use he/him or they/them pronouns - but I don't really mind anything. As long as you assume good faith, that is. :)

You can browse through my userboxes for more about me, if you want. Some are a bit more useful than others.

various opinions

[edit]
This user assumes a spherical cow
  • Names of living (famous) people shouldn't be in the titles of news articles about dead people
  • New editors are amazing! Sure, they don't really know what they're doing a lot of the time, but did you?
  • The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is cool, I guess, but also needs more prog-rock
  • RfA shouldn't focus so much on content creation. Handling deletion, blocks, technical overrides, permission requests, why does anyone need to know how to write a FA to do that?
  • Rollback should be easier to get, it doesn't do much that Twinkle doesn't and pretty much anyone who isn't a sockpuppet or brand-spanking-new can get that
  • Pseudoscience has no place on Wikipedia
  • People's first edits have little-to-nothing to do with their competency

Userboxes I made that you could use

I just read the annual report, and I want to say thank you to everyone who has worked on these reports this year. It's amazing you guys do this all year round and then so particularly well at the end of the year to boot.
