I am a pickle trying to contribute to the sum of human knowledge. English Wikipedia has {{NUMBEROF|ACTIVEUSERS|en|N}} active editors and I believe I am the first to be fermented in brine. Some Wikimedians may know me by my real name and social media, which is fine, but I like to maintain a semblance of privacy on this account. I like writing and maintaining articles about my interests, reviewing AfC submissions, and occasionally chipping away at the edit request backlog and list of potentially dated statements. Before I had this account I edited as an IP for a few years, mostly fixing typos and dead links.
I like a lot of things. I often find myself maintaining Wikipedia articles for social media influencers, mostly because I often find their representations on Wikipedia lopsided or nonexistent. Bringing an awkward but highly-viewed biography to a serviceable ~C-class is such a high-impact way to spend an hour or three. I also like the regularly-updated list of popular low quality articles. For personal enjoyment, I created a list of unusual anniversaries or "on this day" events which you can read and contribute to, if you so desire. I'm pretty nice (I think) and I genuinely enjoy helping brand-new Wikipedians learn the ropes. If you're one of those brand-new Wikipedians, welcome! I hope you kick off your shoes and stay a while. Perhaps you'll find [https://blog.mollywhite.net/become-a-wikipedian-transcript/ Molly White's editing tutorial] useful. There's a lot to do!
I am really inspired by fellow editors and I feel privileged to improve the 'pedia with all of you. If I make a mistake or do something stupid, please trout me!
