I'm here not to promote anything in particular, but because I get a kick out of knowing that, directly or indirectly, my aggregated edits have reached millions of readers. Honesty is always the best policy, isn’t it?

I'm a college student in California. I mostly make small mainspace edits to controversial and/or obscure articles.

I've gradually become more adventurous as I learn the ropes, and have been responsible for a respectable number of (mostly uncontroversial) AfDs. But I'm not a deletionist. At PROD, I’ve saved a number of clearly notable articles.

First of all, I don’t always subscribe to threads, so I frequently don’t respond promptly if not mentioned.

Also, be aware I that I don't always personally agree with the positions I set forth on talk pages. Most commonly, if I think there's a POV issue, I will, in my capacity as an EC editor, try to deal with it irrespective of my feelings.

For example, while on WP I have at times doggedly tried to curb excessive pro-Ukrainian bias and point out the existence of non-Western views of the so-called “non-aligned movement”, in real life, I'm involved in the émigré intellectual scene.

Unsurprisingly, I've considered becoming a public defender.

I'm primarily a knight-errant exploring and patrolling the less traveled areas of WP. That said, here’s a partial list of specific ongoing tasks I'm working on:

• Study the feasibility of making more portals
• Replacing template-generated short descriptions with a more specific ones where possible
• Standardizing short descriptions of biographies
• Earning sufficient qualifications in order to eventually request page mover and other permissions.
• Helping maintain certain medium-visibility pages relating to specific aspects of ongoing military conflicts.
• Growing my watchlist.
• Earning some impressive awards from GOCE and perhaps NPP because it's there.

I’m also quite curious about WP as a phenomenon. For instance, biographical notability can run in families—but not always just because of obvious socioeconomic privilege. Another facet, out of many, is how Wikipedia's processes interact with the real world.

Recently, I’ve considered starting a benign cabal to coordinate and better utilize the local knowledge and language proficiencies of both editors and interested reader/consultants.

Moved to a subpage for display reasons. Besides, I have too many of them; I use topicons for most of the really important ones.

In the words of a Ukrainian source: "В цілому варто відмітити хороший підхід до сюжетів про війну, безпосередньо на позиціях від бійців. Не від всяких Рьопке [de], ISW і британських розвідок, які прийшли на зміну британських вчених." [emphasis added]
