Hello there! I speak
English,
German, and
Chinese, and will gladly do translations or search for obscure sources. My interests vary widely.
I started out making many minor copyedits to fix spelling, grammar, and double spaces, add serial commas, and improving weird formatting, quirks which have been generously distributed throughout Wikipedia by my peers and, occasionally, myself. I moved on to adding lots of short descriptions. Nowadays I even write and review content!
I am variously active at AfD (esp. DSCH and DSZH), RM/TR, NPP, AfC, and pending changes – I will happily answer questions about any, or work on a backlog in an emergency. I occasionally close discussions. As a non-admin, I try to be especially careful when doing so, and I appreciate any criticism and advice on my closes. I have written some advice on RM/TR and advice on AfD, which I hope you find helpful.
I have created a few articles, including
Anna Pestalozzi-Schulthess,
5 Broadgate,
Yunxian Man, and
Tuas Lamp Post 1. A more complete list is at
User:Toadspike/Articles. I've also done a handful of
FLC,
FAC,
GAN, and
DYK reviews. Feel free to ask me for a review in the history or medicine topic areas, especially where my language skills are of use.
