Hi, I'm Paul! My pronouns are he/him. Why pronouns matter.

I joined Wikipedia in 2013 after having experience with an internal MediaWiki site for an organization I worked for (it's worth noting that I'm happy to discuss why your organization or company might use a wiki as their intranet site/for internal documentation).

I enjoy starting new articles across a variety of topics, doing WikiGnome tasks (often reference-related[a] fixes), and helping new editors. I really like submitting new/improved articles to Did you know....[b] Let me know if you are interested in collaborating!

My editing preference is to use the source editor (Wiki Markup). I know it well & sometimes use tools like Sublime Text, vim, and Notepad++ for more tedious tasks like finding & replacing text throughout a page's source.[c]

N.b.: I try and save a copy of references that I add or edit when they are not/cannot be archived by The Internet Archive, archive.is, Megalodon.jp (a.k.a. gyo.tc), and/or ghostarchive.org.[d] If you are in search of such a reference that I've cited/updated/etc. and cannot find it in one of these fantastic archival resources, let me know. I am an amateur archivist and recommend you check out Archive Team if you are interested to learn more.
