Tip of the moment...

Link articles to their foreign-language counterparts

Do you know any languages other than English? If so, you also can contribute to the Wikipedia in those languages, or translate articles from that Wikipedia into the English Wikipedia. Do not forget to include an interlanguage link when you translate a new article. To help coordinate with other language Wikipedias, you can join the Wikimedia Embassy. Also, check out how other languages are doing with our multilingual statistics.

About me

Hey welcome to my user page!

I'm a writer/editor with an eye for detail, so I've always played around with the idea of having a permanent presence on Wikipedia to help edit articles, but I've never done it. I tend to be a bit obsessive about detail, so it could easily become a rabbit hole I plunge into and can't get out of again.

I'm interested in history, technology, travel, anthropology, and psychology.

I suppose here my aim is to contribute constructively to articles related to my interests and edit when I have some free time.

I've tried creating pages in the past for local tech companies in my city as a way of creating something new on Wikipedia that I'm familiar with enough to write about, but these have largely been shut down. My goal there was to create something from scratch based on knowledge, since while it's fun to edit something that already exists, it's also nice to be the first to establish something.

I'm not sure what else to include in my User Page, but I'll edit this later if I think of something.

Thanks for reading!
