User:Komonzia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am a male UK-based Zillennial, and speak two languages fluently. English is one of them. I work in tech.

I take a casual interest in articles about things like economics, sociology/anthropology/social issues, war, religion, biology/health/medicine - as well as places in Britain and its ex-colonies.

"Someone reverted my changes!"

Sorry that your change didn't stick. If I reverted your change, I likely made clear why on your talk page. For help, you should reply to that message or read up here: Help:Introduction

If you were meaning well with your change, common reasons are:

  • Your edit introduced material which isn't sourced or verifiable
    • Instead, you could: search online or in a library / journal for a verifiable, reliable source.
  • You tweaked material in a way that no longer reflect the source
    • Instead, you could: move the tweaked material elsewhere in the same article and provide additional sources.
  • Your edit broke something on the page
  • The reason is in my edit summary
    • Mention me on a talk page if you need clarification. If you think it is a dispute, read WP:DISPUTE. (Do not be afraid to tell me I should also go read WP:DISPUTE, because I might not realise you regard it as such!)

"I still want to make my changes to improve Wikipedia. I'm not sure I understand the guidance. How should I proceed?" → If you keep trying the same thing, you could be blocked from editing (not by me, I can't do that). So, it's best to take a step back and collaborate with others: ask if the source you found meets the standard, if you're unsure, etc. Click the links in this section to start learning how we collaborate.

Komonzia's history with this place

I have been editing Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikidata, and/or Wikimedia Commons since 2005, on-and-off. Deep edits and new articles are rare for me, and I usually reserve them for Commons.

Editing has been a gateway to learning about various other technical pursuits, learning how to research, as well as teaching me (with some trial and error) about human nature in online communities.

In that way, despite its numerous flaws, Wikipedia is something we can collectively attempt to improve, while in parallel learning and trying to improve individually though these actions. This is why I keep finding myself coming back.

I only use one account at a time. This one was started as a WP:CLEANSTART. My previous account(s) had just over 7000 edits.

Significant contributions

These are all things that cannot be classified as housekeeping, anti-vandalism, copyediting, updates to graphs & maps, etc. - the majority of my edits - but are instead something I see as cooler than that.
