Hello! I'm winniemei!

the Guild of Copy Editors.



My name[edit]

My name comes from a shortened version of my real name, Winston, and then "Mei", which was a close online friend that I had who disappeared after her high school friends turned against her about 3 years ago. Subsequently she deleted all her online accounts and any trace of online presence. I haven't been able to ever reconnect with her, so my username is dedicated to Mei.

october 25[edit]

I just got back to editing Wikipedia and am not familiar with all the policies and stuff yet. So, please do contact me on my talk page if there is an issue (for example I know I incorrectly marked a few edits as minor after reading Help:Minor edit. Additionally, if you've reverted one of my edits, a reason so I can improve in the future is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

todos for 2022[edit]

- pick a good topic; make an article on it (or expand the current stub for it); nurse it to good health i.e did you know -> GA -> featured (yes this is very ambitious) - expand Choux pastry (my other fun project for this year)

Setting Wikipedia time to your time zone

Wikipedia's servers record activity based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC for short). You can set your user preferences to display time for the time zone you are in.

If you do this, Wikipedia will show all times in Recent changes, page histories, and contribution histories based on your local time zone. However, when you sign a talk page with ~~~~, the timestamp is created in text, so it has to be displayed in UTC. Automated logs such as image file uploads are also shown in server time (UTC).

To show other users what time zone you are in, you could even add a time userbox to your own user page.
