Contributions
2021–present
Only pages to which I've made significant contributions (as well as edits that bring me pride) are listed, as opposed to a full list of my contributions.[note 1][note 2] The date ranges are approximate, as "projects" are often retrospective constructions.

Conflicts of interest
Wikipedia's principle of maintaining a neutral point of view requires that editors with conflicts of interest (COIs) avoid disruptive editing. However, editors with COIs are among the most passionate about the subjects in question, and I don't believe we should block them from making valuable contributions.
When I have a COI with the subject of an article, I usually stick to non-substantial changes (e.g. adding images, improving formatting, correcting grammar). To ensure I am editing ethically, I will disclose all relevant conflicts of interest to the best of my ability:[note 1]
- I was a student at Bergen County Academies.
- I was an unpaid intern of New Jersey's 38th legislative district, working for Joseph Lagana, Lisa Swain, and Chris Tully.
- I am currently a student at Vassar College.
I have never been paid or otherwise instructed to edit any page on Wikipedia.
Favorite pages
I have to remind some people of some policies and guidelines all the time. So I'm starting a collection of them right here on my user page! I also cite some essays that seem like common sense to me, so I'm including some here. Also, if I'm ever a hypocrite by breaking the principles in these pages, please point it out!
My essays
- User:BappleBusiness/Don't let dogs play basketball: The lack of a Wikipedia policy prohibiting an action doesn't mean that action should be tolerated.
- User:BappleBusiness/Sidebars are a mess (in progress)
