Acedia or accedie: a state of weariness and lack of concern for the world, often resulting from too much solitary scholasticism.Me when I first started editing Wikipedia! (Credit: cc-by-sa-3.0, Ragesoss)
I'm Maryana. I'm a literature and languages person by trade, but I like dabbling in anything that strikes my fancy. There's so much still to be done here!
Disclaimer: I work for the Wikimedia Foundation (my staff account is here), but this is my personal account. Edits, statements, or other contributions made from this account are my own, and may not reflect the views of the Foundation.
I dip in and out of being an active content contributor onwiki, but when I do fall down the wiki-hole, I most enjoy creating articles on niche topics and copyediting (to help out non-native English speakers, and to assist brave souls trying to get an article to FA – bonus points if said article is also on a niche topic!).
Otherwise, you'll find me spiffying up random articles and occasionally hosting an editathon to introduce more newbies to the joys of Wikipedia.

Thanks Accedie! You assisted in various ways on the Paul McCartneyFAC. Thank you! Without your help and support McCartney would not be a FA today! ~ GabeMc(talk|contribs) 21:31, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks much for your help with creating a new page for my student.
I am relatively new to the wiki experiment and using the wiki as part of my class assignments.
Your helpfulness has motivated me to incorporate the wiki more seriously in my college classes and become more familiar with the editing process.
With sincere thanks,

For raising awareness at Wikimania of gender-related issues and the ways in which we unintentionally or subconsciously exclude people from participating fully in Wikipedia. —Tom Morris (talk) 22:44, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
