File:Editing Wikipedia is not a crime - horizontal.png

A sustained campaign of intimidation, harassment and threats against Wikipedia editors is taking place. Large right-wing outlets such as Asian News International, the Heritage Foundation and Le Point have all attempted to use their influence to censor and coerce us into compliance. This risks having a chilling effect on our work; it is unacceptable and must be stopped. Protect Wikipedia volunteers. Reject corporate authoritarianism.

Hello, I am Grnrchst (they/them), although as that jumble of consonants isn't easy to pronounce, you can call me Gren. I first joined Wikipedia in 2019, became a regular contributor in 2020 and since 2021 I have been working on the project on a full-time basis.

My main areas of interest are in revolutionary history and women's history. The bulk of my work in this has focused on Eastern Europe, although I am branching out to look at East Asia, Latin America, West Africa and Iberia, among other regions. Right now, I am actively involved in the Anarchism, Women in Green and Women in Red WikiProjects.

If you want to contact me about something, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Best wishes to you dear reader, may today be happy and healthy for you. :)
