User:JohnLaurens333
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"I'm John Laurens in the place to be
Had two pints of Sam Adams but I'm working on three
Those redcoats won't want it with me
'Cause I will pop-chicka-pop those cops til I'm free!"
—Anthony Ramos as John Laurens in Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda

WWWU solidarity
You may have noticed that me some editors, including me, have added the words "In solidarity" to our signatures. This is to show support for the workers who were laid off in response to their joining the newly formed union Wiki Workers United. For a better and more complete description, as well as the petition, see the article linked above.

FAQ
Are you a bot/AI?
No, I am neither. I use templates to issue notices and warnings on talk pages, but I'm a human being. :) My username is a tribute to John Laurens and is not my real name.
If you're JohnLaurens333, who's JohnLaurensAnthonyRamos333?
That's me! I changed my username from JohnLaurensAnthonyRamos333 to JohnLaurens333 for the sake of convenience on January 13th, 2025.
What are your pronouns?
For privacy reasons, I don't like to disclose my off-wiki pronouns, but on-wiki you can use they/them for me if you like.
So...I'm not perfect
I'm sometimes an impulsive editor, so please be patient with me! I thought I was more careful with my edits, but NOPE! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ My overeager self always takes control. Sorry for any inconveniences that may cause. I'll do my best!
Edit summaries...well. *Sigh* I know I should use them, I know! I just don't usually sit down to edit Wikipedia; I'm usually editing while I'm in the middle of something in real life, so I'm often in a rush and forget or don't have time to add an edit summary. I am trying, I swear.

- According to Google Maps, there is in fact a 333 John Laurens Drive in Venus, Texas. I shall now make it my life's goal to live there (or at least at the intersection of John Laurens Dr and Lafayette Dr).
