I am a pickle trying to contribute to the sum of human knowledge. English Wikipedia has 285,173 active editors and I believe I am the first to be fermented in brine. Some Wikimedians may know me by my real name and social media, which is fine, but I like to maintain a semblance of privacy on this account. I like writing and maintaining articles about my interests, reviewing AfC submissions, and occasionally chipping away at the edit request backlog and list of potentially dated statements. Before I had this account I edited as an IP for a few years, mostly fixing typos and dead links.

I like a lot of things, and I often find myself cleaning up articles about social media, mostly because I often find their representations on Wikipedia lopsided or nonexistent. Bringing an awkward but highly-viewed biography to a serviceable ~C-class is such a high-impact hour. I also like the regularly-updated list of popular low quality articles. For personal enjoyment, I created a list of unusual anniversaries or "on this day" events which you can read and contribute to, if you so desire. I'm pretty nice (I think) and I genuinely enjoy helping brand-new Wikipedians learn the ropes. If you're one of those brand-new Wikipedians, welcome! I hope you kick off your shoes and stay a while. Perhaps you'll find Molly White's editing tutorial useful? There's a lot to do, and I still

I am really inspired by fellow editors and I feel privileged to improve the 'pedia with all of you. If I make a mistake or do something stupid, please trout me!

The backlog of the week is:

Today's backlog of the day is:

Category:Documentation subpages without corresponding pages

This is the jar where I make my Wikipedia edits.

Goofy user subpages

I try not to waste too much time on barely-encyclopedic rabbit holes but sometimes I cannot resist.

Articles I wrote in 2025

Natalie Winters, a MAGA-associated media figure who immediately tweeted the still-slightly-rough article. I was a bit worried about backlash/criticism, but when one of her far-right followers found my edit history the conclusion was, "he looks like a relatively neutral editor (as well as someone who really needs to find a new hobby)". I'll take it :-)
