Hello and welcome to my user page! I've been an editor of English Wikipedia for 10 years, as well as an English Wiktionary editor for 7 years, and am still learning! Feel free to contact me on my talk page if I've made a mistake, if you have a question, or if you just want to chat! Following this is a set of information and links which I generally find useful to have easily accessible to myself and which may also be helpful to you.
I test things out in my sandboxes, all my edits on English Wikipedia can be found in my edit history, and a comprehensive analysis of my edits can be found at my user statistics page. I also maintain a short list of my most significant edits, which is one of my many subpages. I have a lot of ideas, but am not so quick to implement them, so I keep track of ideas on my to do list. If any of the things on my to do list interest you, you are welcome to go ahead and do them, please just make the appropriate change to the list.
