If it wasn't already obvious from my legion of userboxes, I'm pretty interested in dealing with vandalism and making sure that people cite the information that they're adding on Wikipedia. As such, I spend the majority of my time on Wikipedia doing just that. Failing that, there's a slight chance that you'll find me editing something relating to the video games WikiProject. Video games are something that've held a pretty big spot in my heart since I was a young'un, so when I'm hard up on things to do I'll look through the never-ending list of stubs and pick out something that seems like it'd be interesting.

Off Wikipedia, I spend most of my time either playing video games or riding around on my skateboard; it's a weird sort of mash-up of a cruiser board and a popsicle deck, because why not. If I ever wanted to I could probably learn to do tricks with it, but with 60mm 78a's it's incredibly comfortable to just cruise around on.

I started skateboarding on what was essentially a toy skateboard back in 2022. It cost maybe £10-20, but I definitely learned my lesson on that. The thing damn near fell apart under any adverse conditions, it felt really weird to ride (trust me, you can tell the difference, I sure as hell did when I got a professionally made deck and it all came together) with the "grip tape" basically just being sandpaper and the front truck actually snapping in two while I was practicing with it one day. I bought some new trucks to slap on it and... Of course they didn't fit. Toy skateboards do not in the slightest match up with professionally made decks and trucks in sizing, it really is like night and day. That old deck either acted as firewood or is hopefully [https://boards4africa.ch somewhere in Africa] getting a new lease on life, and for that I wish it well.

I also took up learning a new language, Russian. I've previously looked into taking other languages such as French, Spanish, Scottish Gaelic and Welsh, but they've always fell by the wayside. Hell, I even tried learning Russian several years ago and that fell off too, but since Gorbachev died (and the fact that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was ongoing) I picked it up again and weirdly just never stopped. My motivation to learn is... Lacking at times, but sometimes I do get spurts of energy where I'll slam out several lessons on Duolingo. Now, this isn't to say you're going to find me on Russian Wikipedia, my understanding is very basic... But it's still there so into the languages section it goes.

To create

• User:CommissarDoggo/Nippon PGM and stuff - Maybe? I don't know whether it's notable, but I want it to be.

{{column}}

To improve

• KWIX - Article needs improvement across the board, really. Large amounts of content that's unsourced.
• Marita Geraghty - Initially want to properly format the filmography, but more information about her life generally would be nice.

Common Name

This particular trout was due to this wonderful mistake in the Teahouse, where I posed the same question in two different channels of the Wikipedia Discord, then wrote out four paragraphs on the Teahouse requesting an answer for the question. In those four paragraphs, I used the words "common name" exactly three times.
