Hey there! I'm known around here as TechnoSquirrel69. I'm a musician of various kinds, a rock climber, an amateur hiker, and a terminal epistemophile. I may also edit Wikipedia on occasion. The following page is an entirely unbiased and not-at-all-self-indulgent summary of my contributions to this project.

I created this account in January 2021 and wrote a couple small articles, but only became an active editor in March 2023. I have to thank a random teenager sitting in the row in front of me at a presentation I was at a few months prior, who unknowingly became the impetus for my return to editing by completely ignoring the speaker and furiously browsing through articles on their laptop instead. Since then, I've maintained an ever-evolving balance betweeen writing the encyclopedia and performing behind-the-scenes "gnome work".

Reviews needed!

• The Snow Queen (Kernaghan novel) (nom)

I consider some of my best work to be the writing I've done on Studio Ghibli–related articles, most notably Princess Mononoke, Castle in the Sky, and List of accolades received by The Boy and the Heron.^[a] I've worked on several articles about music, including Nurture (album) and the Worlds series.^[b] I've written about the occasional book, such as Miyazakiworld or The Snow Queen (Kernaghan novel). Or, as is my wont, a surprising topic like Frutiger Aero or the Capitol Hill mystery soda machine could catch my attention!

I try to mirror my writing work with reviews of other editors' quality content, and I have provided 52 article reviews of various kinds to date. See my logs for featured content candidates, good article nominees, Did you know? nominations, and peer reviews.
