Hi, I'm Fluffernutter. You may or may not know that a fluffernutter is a sandwich, but it's a fact and it's where my name comes from. In my volunteer time I am largely a wanderer and a wikignome - you might find me reading through anything from the history of Hugo Award winners (and fixing grammar where I spot errors) to the complete succession of the British Monarchy (and reverting vandalism I find there). Most of the articles I've written are in the domain of famous criminal cases, and many of them are of GA (or above) quality, but writing an article is slow, exacting work for me and tends to come and go as my attention allows. Outside of those article-focused times, the majority of my edits are little things that please my inner cleanup gnome: copyediting, cleaning up reference errors, and locking on to a particularly neglected category (like [https://bambots.brucemyers.com/cwb/bycat/Women's_History.html Women's History]) to do a variety of bits and pieces to help.
Most Wikimedians call me "Fluffy" or "Fluff" ("Fluffer", which might seem like easy shorthand, is actually a very NSFW name indeed to call someone), but I also answer to my real name, Karen (though I'm so used to being referred to as a sandwich that "Karen" is less likely to catch my attention!).

- user:Fluffernutter/coi - lengthy explanation of COI editing problems
To-do
=General places to find gnoming tasks=
- User:Gobonobo/Gender Gap red list - there's always a gendergap-related article that needs writing!
- Never lack for gnoming work again; just visit [https://bambots.brucemyers.com/cwb/index.html CleanupWorklistBot's lists] of articles tagged for cleanup (grouped by article quality and category; sortable within those types by cleanup tag type and article importance)

=Specific articles I want to work on=
If you have an article you'd like me to copyedit, please drop a note on my talk pages; I'm usually available for short-ish articles within a day or two of request
- Lisette Lee - no article, but almost certainly notable per [http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/the-gangster-princess-of-beverly-hills-20120831?print=true this]
- Susan Smith - remarkably poor coverage given the number of sources available for the case (see [http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2015/03/judith-clarke-dzokhar-tsarnaev-lawyer this] for some info, for ex)
