Wolverine XI
The sky is the limit!

The queen of the sky

Introduction

edit

Hey I'm a Wikipedian, and my username is Wolverine XI (previously 20 upper). I spend most of my time on Wikipedia editing articles about animals because I find the animal kingdom to be so fascinating. I'm particularly fascinated by fish, birds, reptiles, and some invertebrates, but mammals are my favorite subject matter. As a niche editor, I don't often edit entries that fall outside of my expertise. With that in mind, if you ever come across an animal article that needs to be improved, please don't mind seeking my help, as I will try by all means to make that article better. Considering the number of felid FAs and GAs we have, I am reluctant to work on WikiProject Cat articles, despite them being my favorite animals.

About me

edit
The silent assassin

My real name is Kevin, and I was regrettably[sarcasm] born between 1997 and 2012, which puts me in the Generation Z age range of 12–27. As you are already aware, I have a strong, almost contagious, love for animals. I'm also a Christian that has received Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. I will work to share the good news of this gospel with people all over the world. Despite being Christian my whole life, I'm only starting to grasp the idea of the ministry and what it means to be a child of God. In terms of sports, I've been a devoted WWE and football fan since at least 2014 and mid-to-late-2020, respectively.

Since 2018, I've used Wikipedia as a source for any inquiries I may have had on Christianity, animals, politics, marriage, sex, crime stories, freak accidents, history, sports and other such topics. Initially, I had no desire to alter the site, until I discovered that Wikipedia was lacking an article on megaherbivores. I made my first ever Wikipedia edit on October 2, 2022, before opting to register my account on November 18, 2022. Thomson's gazelle was the first article I edited under my account. I had some difficulties in the first few months, but I overcame them and am now glad to assist.

The black and white king of the ocean

My wikiphilosophy is to take part in a variety of procedures while concentrating on a single topic at first. The Wikipedia processes in which I am involved, or would like to be involved, are content creation, semi-automated editing, new page patrolling, AFD, GA & FA processes, and aiding others at Teahouse/Help Desk. I make an effort to be as respectful as possible, so I would expect you to reciprocate. I'll be here for the long haul and could linger for more than 20 years. I've never attended a Wikimania, as I'm currently too busy to do so. I will, however, make arrangements to attend the event sometime in the near future.

Why the name?

edit

You might be wondering, "Why Wolverine XI?" Allow me to share my story with you. Let's talk about the first component of the name: Wolverine. I chose this animal because it has the grit and tenacity to chase wolves and even grizzlies from their kills. Just goes to show how the wolverine punches way above its weight. Let us examine the second portion of the name: XI. So, in Roman numerals, XI represents the number 11. I chose the number 11 for three reasons: first, I made my account in the eleventh month of the year; second, the FIFA World Cup eventually made it to South Africa on June 11, 2010, which was highly deserved; and third, Jeremiah 29:11 is my favorite verse from the Bible. Because the Romans executed Jesus on the cross—the single most significant event in human history—I decided to use Roman numerals. Unlike my prior username, which I used for more than 14 months, my current username has meaning. Thank you for listening to my story.
