Hi there!

I barely edit here, and never really got involved :). Do not assume I am competent for encyclopedia-writing and content stuff. I may or may not be approximately competent. I've read various project pages around, but in the end I may be confused with how stuff works[1].

I mainly edit, and can often (read always) be found, at Wikisource[2].

If I edit here, it'll mostly be:

  • bits of gnoming here and there
  • technical stuff (programmer, sometimes phab lurker, and part-time XTools contributor, so...)
  • stuff related to my activities as a wikisourcer (removing/adding links, correcting bibliographic info)

[3] If someone wants to know what I did here[4]: a long while ago, I did antivandalism on the side for a few months, then was very briefly a NPP reviewer[5], before realising that I was lacking content-side competence[6], and that I could do more good doing what I actually know[2].

Good day, and keep up the good work!

  1. ^ And for once the pun works. I'm surprised I landed at WP:CONFUSED. At any rate, I expected possible confusion with the 333 part not the alien part. but anyhow...

  3. ^ I am annoyed by how here {{sm}} is {{smallcaps}}. Just why? {{small}} is the natural destination. Plus, the CSS property value for smallcaps is literally small-caps. {{sc}} would be a more natural shortcut. But that's occupied by another strange redirect &Anyhow...
