About me
| This user is a Wikipedian. |
| This user is proud to be a Wikipedian. |
| This user lives in the United States of America. |
| en | This user is a native speaker of the English language. |
I'm SeaHaircutSoilReplace (stylized as SHSR), an amateur Wikipedia editor.
My username comes from a random username generator.
Activity
I opened up my account in April 2024, but I didn't start editing until September that year.
I really started to edit a lot toward the middle of 2025 onward.
Alternative account
| This user has an alternative account named ReplaceSoilHaircutSea. |
In June 2026, I decided to create an alternative account, ReplaceSoilHaircutSea, to use whenever I'm on a public network. See WP:PUBSOCK for more information on this.

| This editor is not an administrator and does not wish to be one. |
I am not an admin and do not wish to be one. It would conflict with the fact that I do not have an editing schedule.

I make mistakes sometimes
| This user tries to do the right thing. If they make a mistake, please let them know. |
Sometimes, I make really dumb edits, and whenever I do, I instantly self-revert and apologize.
I often browse Wikipedia in incognito. If a temporary account edits a page in a similar way to that I have edited, or leaves a message/reply to a topic I was just in, then it's most likely me accidentally editing in incognito, logged out. Sorry if this happens!
Also, I sometimes slip up when reverting unconstructive edits from recent changes, such as calling good-faith edits vandalism. If I reverted your constructive or good-faith edit too quickly, please don't hesitate to bring back your edit and/or discuss it on my talk page.
Current areas of interest
Redirects
I have an interest in redirects. I categorize many redirects with rcat templates, and add shells to rcats that don't have one, just for polishing. I also nominate dubious redirects on RFD.
Date format redirects
A huge portion of the redirects that I have made are date redirects from different formats. For example, 12th of june to the standard June 12. Many date format-related redirects only appear for a few dates out of the 366. I make sure all 366 days of the year have consistent redirects for different date formats.
Wikipedia (project namespace) redirects
Many redirects that I make that are not in the mainspace are typically shortcuts to project-namespace pages.
Random page feature
I discover many articles by using the random page feature.
Manual of Style
I proofread articles for MOS issues, and fix any that I find.
Date formats
I make sure that date formats in articles comply with WP:DMY, MOS:DATERET and MOS:DATETIES. Non-US articles almost always use DMY, and the date format an article uses should be consistent throughout the entire article.
Consistency
I like to keep formatting and grammar consistent in lists.
Overlinks
I have a habit of removing repetitive links occurring more than once (outside infoboxes), and removing links to countries unless absolutely necessary.
Dashes
Many of my MOS-related edits consist of changing hyphens to dashes where possible, and vice versa.
Other areas
I read and fix any spelling/grammar errors I stumble upon, or add more context to paragraphs.
Inactive/former areas of interest
Reverting vandalism
I was never an active RC patroller, and I don't have plans to become one. But I rarely check for unconstructive edits on recent changes, and revert if needed, warning users accordingly.
Consistency in biology-related articles
I was once really active on maintaining consistency in biological articles in particular, but haven't edited biological articles for a while, due to burnout.
Tools
Twinkle
| This user contributes with Twinkle. |
I use Twinkle for many of my Wikipedia activities. It allows for easily reverting vandalism—among other unconstructive and unsourced edits—and warning users without having to manually put templates on talk pages. It has many other cleanup-related features too, such as instantly making a WP:AFD or WP:RFPP nomination, reporting vandals and/or sockpuppet(eer)s to WP:AIV and WP:SPI respectively, etc.
Schedule
I am a casual Wikipedian, and I do not adhere to editing actively. I don't announce Wikibreaks whenever I do them.
Signature
SHSR T • C is my current signature.
| Signature | Usage period | Why I got rid of it |
|---|---|---|
| SHSR T • C | Early June 2026 | The basic Arial font is too boring, even when bold. Arial Black looks cooler. |
| SeaHaircutSoilReplace | July 2025 to June 2026 | It's starting to get boring and old; I wanted to start fresh. Also, I couldn't link my contributions page here due to character limits in signature markup. |
| SeaHaircutSoilReplace (talk) | Before July 2025 | I wanted to unite the talk page link into the rainbow text, rather than separate it. |
Articles I created
So far, I did not create any real articles. Redirects do not count. However, when I start creating articles, they will be listed here.
