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.

STICKIED: read this rebuke of your abuses of English, y'all [1]

"'Wikipedia:Neutral point of view must be understood in the context of Wikipedia:Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. The two pillars are part of the same larger structure."

"If a reliable source is stating that certain less reliable sources made certain statements, then the only reliably sourced statement that can be made is that certain statements were made by certain less reliable sources."

About me

I'm a college student in California. 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.

If you came here from a talk page

First of all, I don’t always subscribe to threads, so I frequently don’t respond promptly if not mentioned.

Also, be aware I that I don't always personally agree with the positions I set forth on talk pages. Most commonly, if I think there's a POV issue, I will, in my capacity as an EC editor, try to deal with it irrespective of my feelings.

For example, while on WP I have at times doggedly tried to curb excessive pro-Ukrainian bias and point out the existence of non-Western views of the so-called “non-aligned movement”, in real life, I'm involved in the émigré intellectual scene.

Unsurprisingly, I've considered becoming a public defender.

Current projects

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.
  • Growing my watchlist.

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

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

Notes

  1. ^ To become a Grand High Togneme Laureate, an editor needs to have accumulated 114,000 edits and 14 years of service.
