About[edit]

Avid internet user and probable Wikipedia contributor. Has a website that's kept up to date with the latest and greatest information about them. Likes adding more info to articles about interests like software and making adjustments to sentences grammar & punctuation (this sentence probably messed up both of those).

Notes[edit]

Curious as to why there seems to be no userboxes about liking indie pop or alternative rock music genres or artists. I might figure out how to make some or another contributor could.
I really like how Wikipedia is so customizable, enjoyed reading some Wikipedia Essays, and understand why it makes it harder for Tor users to contribute in some scenarios.
Messed around in the settings to enable the Vector '22 theme and HotCat + dark mode toggle + Justify paragraphs + Twinkle gadgets; all of which are pretty cool.
My last user page was deleted because of U5. A non-contributor's misuse of Wikipedia as a web host. Hopefully this iteration closely relates to Wikipedia's goals more so than previously.
I once got to Tinnitus from Looksmaxxing through Mewing (orthotropics)
