Gwennie-nyan is generally working (sometimes hellaovertime) at her place of employment and will be back whenever she has the energy and availability, just not very often.
This WikiPuma takes frequent catnaps and may not respond swiftly to queries at times. (Alternatively, if not catnapping, she may be busy hunting and thus unavailable.)
The arrow of time waits for no human being, no creature, no structure or facet of the universe and, inexorably, the whole of existence will move along such that the events of today, with all their emotional gravity and circumstance, are not but a whimper of starlight in the distance to nigh-infinite worlds orbiting nigh-infinite stars.
The cataloging of what was and is, as fraught or futile as it may seem in the gaze of deep time, represents one of the most transcendent aspects of sentient existence — the struggle to preserve the now such that it may remain known when, inevitably, the here becomes the hereafter, and the whole of existence is slowly pulled behind the cosmic curtain, forever entombing it, along with most of the past, in the forever unknowable. ~Gwennie🐈｟💬📋｠ 14:20, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
My typical editing is limited to en-wiki, commons, and wikidata. (the latter two are primarily edited in support of the former)
As a WikiPuma, a WikiFauna archetype I very much identify with, most of my edits are made towards expanding stub or start pages within my interests or expertise. I tend to take research and writing seriously for these.
When I have no particular thing project or article I'm working on developing, I can primarily be found prowling the recent changes and reverting vandalism/unconstructive edits.
I believe very strongly in thanking and supporting other editors for their contributions. While some domestic cats like to offer prey to their caretakers, this WikiPuma likes to leave thank you notes and barnstars.
1986–1987 John Deere strike First editor/creator of this page. Created it using AfC for the first time due to COI. In progress
Wi Spa controversy — First editor/creator of this page. Once again the irony of a trans individual creating this page… Reopened(every couple weeks or so)
Gender reveal party — Completely rewrote and cleaned up the article from scratch in 2020. Ironic for a trans person to clean up this article. Perhaps true, perhaps fitting. Completed
August 2020 Midwest derecho — Primary editor and updater. Responsible for ≈50% (metric depending) of the page content as of September 7 2020. Reopened(every couple months or so)
Modern Pagan views on LGBT people — First editor/creator of this page. Ported and massively rewrote a previous page called Wiccan views on LGBT people. It's a pet project at dovetails with my spiritual views a bit. Reopened(every couple months or so)
Abigail Thorn — Since she came out as trans and I have a good knowledge of that topic arena. Completed
Dryer ball — Expanded from stub to start class. (Also uploaded Media related to Dryer balls at Wikimedia Commons, and created the category.) Why did I start doing this? No idea. Just stumbled onto it and kitty pounce! Completed
Ankeny, Iowa — Has significantly expanded, rewritten, and improved this article. As the author's childhood hometown, it was a personal interest to see the article improved. Completed
List of people killed for being transgender — Frequent page editor in 2019. As a transgender person herself, this user felt dedicating time toward this was important. Delisted
Granted autonomously by WereSpielChequers after their evaluation that I am an experienced Wikipedian and that it may be useful for them to have this right.
I have strong biases, but pride myself on maintaining WP:NPOV. I believe honest self-critique so other users can, in good faith, hold me accountable as well as understand where I come from, which could help with resolving disputes. If you believe I am suffering bias issues, let's talk about it.
I have never edited for any form of payment or at the direction of any organization.
However, I am a United Auto Workers member working for Deere & Company and was a participant in the 2021 John Deere strike. So I should be considered to have a COI if writing about issues related to the UAW or Deere. I intend to only edit in a space I have COI in the best possible fashion with reliable sources and neutral presentation.
