Interests & Hobbies

Name

My name used to be AngelenoCrow, because I live in Los Angeles County, California, and because I like crows. I've since moved to FinkyOfNalanja to align with my accounts across everything else (YouTube, Discord, Instagram, etc.).

The "Finky" (pronounced /finkē/) part comes from a real-life nickname I earned when I was 12, and has followed me throughout my life since. I wrote my actual first name on a ruler once, but my bad handwriting led to it looking like it said the goofy sounding nonsense-name, "Finky." "OfNalanja," stems from the time my friend created a humorous micronation called, "the Kingdom of Nalanja," (pronounced /nəlänyə/) which interested me. It's long-defunct now; he dissolved it after we lost interest.

Commons

Honestly, I used to have a streak for uploading shite that wasn't mine. I don't do that now; I wasn't taking it that seriously. Sorry about that.^{Here's my talk page for Commons.}

I do use an alt^{(again, see: my alt)} but I fully disclose that it's an alt and I was never blocked from editing/uploading as FinkyOfNalanja so I'm not sockpuppetting.

I mostly upload photos of things in my area or places I've traveled to; that is, San Diego, California, Wofford Heights, California, or Carlsbad Caverns National Park. I wish I were a more traveled person, but alas. Someday, maybe...

Everything I upload is own work published with no rights reserved.

History

First edit: On an IP, shamefully, it was vandalism. I was 12. I changed every instance of a (I think it was an Irish punk band) band's lead singer's name to my own. On this account it was the creation of my user page.

First article: Now deleted Monument to the Friendship between Nanumea and Nukufetau

First upload: Eaton Fire.jpg, as seen near the top of my user page

Other

Aside from content articles, I also made User:UBX/Userbox Wings of Fire.

I have created many redirects.

Meta-Wiki

I edit here very rarely.

I submitted a request to reopen the Kwanyama Wikipedia because I believe it was wrongfully closed.
