He/him but also fine with "they" if that's easier.
Currently trying to bring the WPF article into the 2020s and helping out anti-vandalism stuff over at recent changes, and I voice some opinions at WP:RfD.
Lemme know if I'm doing anything dumb.
Also planning to fix all 1,583 1,531 1,491 usages of the typo{{Cite web |date=2015-01-19 |title=Punctuation (continued) |url=http://www.pennmedicinedevelopment.com/style-guide/punctuation-2 |access-date=2024-05-29 |website=Penn Medicine Development and Alumni Relations |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |title=Prefixes {{!}} Cochrane Community |url=https://community.cochrane.org/style-manual/grammar-punctuation-and-writing-style/prefixes |access-date=2024-05-29 |website=community.cochrane.org |language=en}} "pre-determined".
Projects
I'm a programmer and dork in real life, and so naturally have made a couple of user scripts and essays, and have plans to make more.
| class="wikitable"
! Thing !! Type !! Description !! Status | |||
| UserRoleIndicator | User script | This user script displays emojis next to user links to identify their userroles. For instance, admins get a little ๐งน broom icon, WMF employees get ๐ globes, etc. Forked from UserHighlighterSimple. | {{yeac}} Released, in use by the public. Will not be receiving major changes. |
| Bop.js | User script | A personal user script to stop me editing Wikipedia during work hours. If you attempt to edit an article (or view any non-mainspace page), you get "bopped" on the head and sent to a different website (an ambient music page). A softer version of the WikiBreak Enforcer. Not linked, not recommended for public use, and no guarantee I won't change the parameters in the future. | {{yeag}} Works great for me, but not fit for public release/use (not intended to be). |
| Keeping isn't creating | Wikipedia essay | Essay on a misguided line of argument seen on WP:RFD, where reasoning for not-creating something is erroneously presented as a reason for deleting something. | {{cloc}} Written, needs reviewing/second pass |
| October 2024 Admin election candidate notes
|Informal voter guide |A set of notes about candidates for the first admin election. I was involved in setting up of the election, and was writing private notes for myself to keep track of the huge 30+ candidate list, and eventually decided to make it public. Due to real life (I moved house and started a new job during the week of the election) and the huge quantity of candidates, this was not finished as much as I would have liked. |{{Yeag}}{{Nayg}} Partially written, got through 16 of the 34 candidates. I tried, but with real life time constraints I couldn't review all candidates. |
