TheYearbookTeacher is a Wikipedian not particularly of note who is very obsessed with reference sections (properly called bibliographies, but hey, whaddyagonnadoaboutit? The others have spoken before me and so it shall be. This is the spirit of collaboration. When on Wikipedia, you can usually find her cleaning up an obscure reference section, filling out bare URL citations, researching in the Internet Archive, the Google Cache, Google Scholar, or a country/region/nonprofit archival database such as the US National Archive. I also really like archives. Maybe she should have been a Librarian.[i]

Biography

Born out of bad decisions and 24-hour glitz and sweat there is little known about Yearbook Teacher. Some say she came out of her mother's womb with a martini in one hand and a Parliament cigarette in the other, stopping only to give Mayor Goodman and his showgirls a handshake on baby's first walk to the poker table. Some say she was just born really really cool. Well, it ended there.

A perpetual dweeb in middle and high school, she preferred joining many extracurricular activities, most of which required minimal human contact.

She went on to have a career as a managing editor at an academic publishing subcontractor for several years before her Millennial burnout became too great, forcing her to become a teacher.

Wikipedia is not an airport

So while I know my departure is not necessarily needed — and I'm unlikely to fully go away like I did when I deleted my extended auto-confirmed account years ago — I think this is an important point to keep in mind. Remember, Wikipedia's policies on civility, assuming good faith, kindness go a long way, y'all.
