Autobiography

Jessica "Jess" Carter (born September 16, 1981) was born in Edinburgh, moved to Lancaster in 2001, then to Preston in 2004 and moved back to Edinburgh in 2019, where she makes her living as a recruitment consultant. The origins of her username - given to her in late 2005 - are simple: the "ditzy" bit is due to her ditzy nature. The "Nizzy" bit is due to the Nizlopi No1 JCB Song, which are the same as her initals, just in a different order.

Amongst her hobbies are the Eurovision Song Contest, music - most types, but not classical, easy listening or country - football, chocolate and having sex. As a result of at least two of the hobbies, you'll often see her hanging around music or (more likely) football articles - doing little things like typos, formatting errors, that sort of thing.

Notice any screw-ups (typos, formatting errors etc)? Then please change it - just don't vandalise it because I allow you to edit the page. If there's any gaps in the table below, that's because they're meant to be there. If you notice a string of changes on the same page made by me, that's not vandalism: that's because I've noticed something to change after clicking "Save page". Or, in the case of the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League article, I was doing it bit by bit (especially Group H's table).

This is for things I've seen around Wikipedia that I've found funny

/Huddershouse Town
When NOT to prod an article
A kid compares his 5-a-side football team's AfD to the article on God.
For ten months, Arlesey Town F.C. spent the 2005-06 season in League Two.
The person who created a (since deleted) topic forgot that s/he was the one who created it.
Someone who takes part in a Michael Jackson-related AfD quotes Beat It for the rationale. (I was gonna give them a barnstar, but I was beaten to it.)

To follow this up, someone quoted two Britney Spears songs in an AfD in relation to her.

I was in a foul mood today (3 August 2009). I stumbled across this. I was no longer in that foul mood.
I'm an easy girl to please. Hence why I found this comment amusing.
Vandal comes onto Wikipedia to do some vandalism. Vandal finds that page is locked. Vandal complains about it.
Well, at least they were honest. (Unsurprisingly, the request was turned down.)
Is every single day in March not notable? Apparently.
In December 2008, someone decided to say that 2009 "was expected to be a common year". (The same person later added a "citation needed" for the same claim.)
I thought I was blunt. I was wrong.
Nah, I don't think we need this article. Or this one.^[4] Or even this one. These two are also unnecessary.^[5]
In August 2007, someone accidentally deleted part of German shot putter Nadine Kleinert's article. No-one fixes the table until she took part in the Beijing Olympics.
This piece of ~~shit~~ vandalism happened in November 2006. Nobody noticed it until January 2010.
Apparently, everything needs a citation. Even when we're literally attached to them.
In February 2013, it turned out Findus beef lasagnas were made from horsemeat. So somebody put a picture of two horses on their page.
She may have sold 150 million records, but Britney Spears' page was PRODded as a "vanity page".
