I'm a gaymer, cruciverbalist, muso, fishkeeper, and a politics nerd, so you'll likely find me loitering in the articles around those topics, or wherever my next ADHD hyperfixation may take me...
In terms of content creation, my main area of focus recently has related to New Zealand music. That said, I have a habit of procrastinating the actual writing of articles by contributing in other areas of the project.
You'll normally find me rotating between;
- Patrolling Recent Changes – if I mistakenly revert something you added in good faith, please accept my apologies in advance and feel free to re-add your contribution.
- Contributing at WP:AFD – Mainly within NZ, music, musicians, and songs & albums.
- Reviewing Articles for Creation
My signature previously looked like this: Nil🥝
Articles I've worked on:
I'd describe myself as more of a reader not a writer, and the majority of my thousands of edits have been gnome-ish in nature. That said, some of my more significant contributions are below.

New Zealand musicians:
Aotearoa Music Awards:

Contributed to:
The following weren't created by me, but I made significant contributions to:

Slakr's Construction Safety Award For not just being absolutely on top of your new-page-patrol game, but also being aware of, keeping an eye out for, and tagging "hazardous" contentious-topic material within that "construction" realm, I hereby award you this hard hat. Then again, I'm sure you're so smart that you already have one of these, but it helps to have a spare in case you're out and about or something. :P Keep up the great work, and cheers. =) |

Anyhow... hello hello! I'm a frequent patroller of various mass-casualty related articles (especially those which are particularly recent) and I see you about on the talk pages quite frequently. I find your civility and ability to adhere to policy amiable and admirable. Much love, rock on forever! ⚠︎ ArkadenBoden ⚠︎ (talk) 12:52, 18 February 2026 (UTC) |
