User:Clovermoss

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, I'm Clovermoss. My username is a combination of the words clover and moss. My name in real life is Hannah Clover. You can use either half of my name if you wish. I have a slight preference for Clover because it is also a shortened form of my username and the average person is more likely to know you're talking about me if you say that.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. – Stephen Jay Gould

My signature colour is a reference to red clover.

I created my account on September 16, 2018, when I was 16. Some people describe me as a "content creator" – it's a term with varying definitions and I'd say that plenty of people are more skilled at writing articles than I am. While I have started many articles of my own, I'm also interested in improving those that have been started by others. I have also spent a lot of time doing gnome-like tasks like creating redirects. I don't really focus on going through our quality review processes, but I did manage to write two GAs: Katherine Hughes (activist) and ketchup chips. I've also submitted a handful of DYKs.

I think the world would be a better place if we all just talked and listened to each other more often. It's not healthy for people to feel like they have to bottle everything up. It's a recipe for situations to get to the point where they can't be ignored anymore and everyone ends up feeling terrible then. Obviously, I don't want anyone to ever feel that way about me. I will always do my best to address constructive good faith feedback. I may not always agree, but I'm always willing to listen. I don't see any concern as too small. If it matters to you, it matters to me. I like understanding why other people think the way that they do. I also hope that they understand my whys; if you're ever confused about the reasoning behind any of my edits or actions, feel free to seek clarification so you can understand them better. That said, I do ask that you be civil when interacting with me and not assume that your perspective is universal.

Conflict of interest declarations

Subjects in which I may have a conflict of interest are:

  • WikiPortraits – I have received some compensation for a Wikimedian in Residence type role. I'll be working on categorization and structured data related to files taken through WikiPortraits. I also have a COI with Jennifer 8. Lee for this reason.
  • Wikimedia Canada – I have received some compensation as a contractor for Wikimedia Canada. My edits are my own and do not represent the institution. I am not a member of the affiliate itself.
  • Cite Unseen – I will be adding more reliable sources to the script so that it is more useful.

Contributions to the Signpost

I used to collaborate with Pine for the weekly What's Making You Happy This Week? emails to the wikimedia-L mailing list and the associated Signpost feature: On The Bright Side.
