A map of the world showing how English Wikipedia is read not only in the core Anglosphere countries, but in post-colonial countries like Pakistan and Kenya.
English Wikipedia is utilized by readers of all backgrounds from all over the world, not just the cis-het young intellectual white males who make most of the edits.

About me

[edit]

I'm here not to promote anything in particular, but because I get a kick out of knowing that, directly or indirectly, my aggregated edits have reached millions of readers. Honesty is always the best policy, isn’t it?

I'm a college student in California (currently on a hiatus therefrom in order to improve my finances). I mostly make small mainspace edits to controversial and/or obscure articles.

I've gradually become more adventurous as I learn the ropes, and have been responsible for a respectable number of (mostly uncontroversial) AfDs. But I'm not a deletionist. At PROD, I’ve saved a number of clearly notable articles.

Current projects

[edit]

I'm primarily a knight-errant exploring and patrolling the less traveled areas of WP. That said, here’s a partial list of specific ongoing tasks I'm working on:

  • Study the feasibility of making more portals
  • Replacing template-generated short descriptions with a more specific ones where possible
  • Standardizing short descriptions of biographies
  • Earning sufficient qualifications in order to eventually request page mover and other permissions
  • Helping maintain certain medium-visibility pages relating to specific aspects of ongoing military conflicts
  • Earning some impressive awards from GOCE and perhaps NPP because it's there

I’m also quite curious about WP as a phenomenon. For instance, biographical notability can run in families—but not always just because of obvious socioeconomic privilege. Another facet, out of many, is how Wikipedia's processes interact with the real world.

Userboxes

[edit]

Moved to a subpage for display reasons. Besides, I have too many of them; I use topicons for most of the really important ones.

What I think about ISW

[edit]

In the words of a Ukrainian source: "В цілому варто відмітити хороший підхід до сюжетів про війну, безпосередньо на позиціях від бійців. Не від всяких Рьопке [de], ISW і британських розвідок, які прийшли на зміну британських вчених." [emphasis added]
