A cat? A human? A cat-face human? A human-face cat? Nope. Just a nerdy Wikipedian who likes to write and revise — until near-burnout level is achieved...
Short intro
A nerdy/obsessive cat Wikipedian obsessed about bringing "encyclopedic toning" and other technical stuffs to the Web, including, though not limited to, a great deal of mathematical "gibberishes" that most normal people would just give a blank stare and pass by:
- Editing tone: professorial
- Editing length: rather long/quite long
- Editing subjects: technical/quasi-technical/general
By the way, if Wikipedia server hiccups scare you, don't forget to [https://donate.wikimedia.org sacrifice your coffee budget] to Wikipedia so that it can disrupt Google and make the world more erudite! And if you hate Wikipedia, well, a confused kitten has just lost some part of its soul!
P.S. — This user occasionally shows signs of a typical Level I Wikipediholic, and has the tendency to keep on editing until near exhaustion is achieved.

Wikipedian's "must read"
- Wikipedia:Simplified Manual of Style
- ✅ "James's house"
- ✅ En-dash: "pp. 1–2", "January 1999 – December 2000"
- No space around em-dash
- Use
{{nowrap}} for unbreakable space - ❌ "I...", "We... ", "you...", "note that...", "remember that....", "of course...", "clearly", "obviously..." (presumptious language by MOS:NOTE)
- Avoid contractions
- Help:Introduction to the Manual of Style/All
- Lead
- Standalone overview of article
- One-to-four paragraphs
- Sections
- One-to-four paragraphs recommended
- Sentence case
- Omit first "the" or "a"
- Words
- Avoid relative time terms (e.g., "recently")
- For single-digit quantities, write "one", ... "nine" (not "1",... "9")
- For approximate dates, "c. " is preferred (over "approx." or "circa".
- Use
{{nbsp}} for unbreakable space - Citations
- Paraphrase preferred over quotes
- Use existing citation style
- Wikilink
- First occurrence
- Avoid unnecessary piping
- Avoid "cryptic piping" (clickbaity)
- Avoid linking common terms
- Keep anchor text and target article title similar
- External Links
- Each link followed by a description
- Wikipedia:Manual of Style
- Quotes within " " or as blockquote
{{quote}} (not italic) - Start quotes with capital letter unless integrated to text
- Precede quote with colon, comma or no punctuation (case-to-case)
- End quote with period or question mark only if it's part of quote
- For dashes: unspaced em-dash or spaced en-dash only
- Do not add comma if confuse or alter meaning
- Avoid use of "/" generally (e.g., and/or, parent/instructor)
- No "?" or "!" (except in quote)
- "Current" ->
{{as of}} - No "we" except the author's we in scientific text (better change to passive voice in this case)
- Avoid distractive wikilinking
- Use external links sparingly even if relevant
- Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Mathematics
- Short Introduction > § Definition > § Examples/Applications > § History > § Generalization > § See also > § References > § Bibliography/Sources > § External links/Further reading
- Opt for "for all", "there exists", "in" and "is defined by" rather than ∀, ∃, ∈, =.
- ❌ "It must be mentioned that...", "It must be emphasized that...", "Consider that...", "We see that..."
- ❌ "Iff", "wrt", "wlog"
- Avoid talking the reader directly. Conversations undermine encyclopedic tone big time.
- Avoid starting a sentence with symbols.
- Avoid LaTeX in headings
- For one-line formulas, indent with ":" followed by LaTeX markup (in source-code editing).
- For quotes, indent as proses (":" in visual editing, which has a wider indentation length than the one in source-code mode).
- Never attempt to number the references manually (both in the reference list and in the content). Use the Cite button in the visual builder (or the
tag). - Sample featured pages to be modeled after: Logarithm, Pi, Euclidean algorithm, Group (mathematics), Leonhard Euler, Georg Cantor, Algebra,
- 0.999...
- 1 − 2 + 3 − 4 + ⋯
- Parity of zero
- Polar coordinate system
- Problem of Apollonius
- Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists
- No list if can be rephrased easily into a paragraph
- Capitalize first letter of a list even for sentence fragments
- Don't mix sentences with sentence fragments
- No period if not a complete sentence
- Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Layout#"See also" section
- Internal links only
- Related to the topics
- Tangentially related item should include an annotation (e.g., Everyman – made a similar achievement on April 4, 2005)
- Sorted logically, chronologically or alphabetically
- Should not link to
- Non-existent pages
- Deambiguation pages (save in deambiguations pages themselves)
- Links already included in the article's body.
- Double-check to see if the new item is not already linked in the body!
- Wikipedia:Reliable sources
- Cite reputable, secondary sources known to have an established fact-checking mechanism.
- ❌ Wiki, forum, social media, personal pages
- ❌ Sponsored content (e.g., symposium, supplements to academic journals)
- ✅ Books, journals, research paper, meta-analysis
- ✅ Mainstream media news coverage
- Exercise caution in citing:
- Primary research papers
- Self-published books
- "Ideological" journals/websites
- Opinionated sources
- Avoid synthesizing information from disparate sources on your own, even if the conclusion seems reasonable.
- Wikipedia:Piped link
- Try to integrate wikilink into articles without piping — if possible.
- Good:
public transport ation, PresidentGeorge Washington - Don't use pipe links as a teaser to information that should be included in the sentence.
Other suggestions on style
- When wikilinking, double-check to see if you're not mistakenly linking to a deambiguation page.
- Refrain from the encyclopedic version of "finger-pointing" in general.
- Rethink about from using "this", "that", "above", "below" as location words.
- Instead of "see the page Cat below for more", use "for more, see Cat".
- Instead of "in that section, we alluded to...", use "see § Cat#section." in the form of footnote (or use the slink template).
- If possible, try to rephrase "in this discussion" or "in this article" out of the discussion. Best to wikilink to the appropriate section or use an anchor.
- Try to rephrase "say that" out of the paragraphs—whenever possible.
- For math formulas typeset in TeX, the additional unwanted space, if exist, might be eliminated by adding an additional
space
in the source code. - Use italic for emphasis only. Boldface is for keywords, not emphasis.
- "Further reading" is more informative than "External links".
