 | For personal reasons, I will be less active on Wikipedia in the coming months. I will still be able to make smaller edits from time to time, and I will still answer pings and talk page messages. |
My name is Eric (He/Him). Off Wikipedia, I'm a New Yorker and I'm an English language tutor. My main hobbies are cycling, learning languages, swimming, running, and editing Wikipedia.
I mainly edit articles on technology, transportation, and politics. I've made over 1500 edits since 2015, passing my 500th edit in October 2020. I'm always learning and I have so much to learn about Wikipedia. So far, most of my work is removing vandalism, updating information, and enforcing Wikipedia's policies. I would like to create more articles, as I have little experience in that field. Of course, if I make mistakes, please do let me know, I'm always ready to learn.
I believe in kindness, courtesy, and courage. And I'm always trying to leave the world a little better than I found it, one step (and one edit) at a time. I believe that the world is better when everyone gets on board so everyone can collaborate and build consensus. And that's what I love about Wikipedia. As messy and imperfect as things can get, we're all people coming together to build an encyclopedia representing the sum of human knowledge. It's remarkable.

What I'm Working On
editThis list is NOT up to date. My main editing strategy as of late is to catch errors as I'm reading and provide updates to software articles as they're released.
- Safari (web browser)'s system requirements section is in dire need of an update. I'm working on updating this in table format.
- AutoCAD version history's section on OS Support is incomplete. I plan on expanding this and adding citations. A platform compatibility table is also a consideration.
- A platform compatibility table for Adobe Premiere
- Possibly adding more articles on prior state-level US elections (2014 Alabama State Legislature Election, for instance).
- Adding to the iOS-Specific Features section of the Safari (web browser) article.
- Adding limitations of Rosetta 2 to the Rosetta (software) article.
- Expand the History of the Opera web browser article, maybe with a table like that of the Firefox version history article.
- Update the iPadOS article so features are general to all of iPadOS and not just iPadOS 13.
- Shifting all tables in the Safari version history article to template format
- Adding references to the Vivaldi (web browser) article's version history section to establish notability.
- Add notable changes for Windows 10 v1607-1809 on Windows 10 version history.
