Wikipedia
[edit]I somewhat recently joined Wikipedia and I think I'm confident in it's tools, policies and guidelines, though I will make a few mistakes.
I created an account to expand and create articles related to ants. After finding AntWiki too complex for most people, and Wikipedia lacking coverage on many, many species, I decided Wikipedia needed help and I would likely be of use. I'm currently looking through ants of Britain, till I move on to more tropical species. I also plan to expand, fix and correct a handful of other topics, though mainly still in focus with my interests.
Currently
[edit]Occasionally edits can come in 5-10 small chunks, but usually I try to bundle a lot of small improvements into bigger edits.
View my sandbox here, where I'm composing/expanding articles as well as experimenting with a couple of features. I also have a second sandbox linked here, where I am putting relevant information
Please note, my account is not dead or offline, I just can go for long periods without editing.
Interests
[edit]I love ants, Godzilla, gaming and a handful of other nerdy stuff, and these are my main focuses of editing, though I love the random article feature and before making an account I'd spend hours reading through the random articles it threw at me. I also love the concept of WikiFauna and I've enjoyed reading through them.
Notable contributions
[edit]Articles I have created: Stenamma westwoodii, Ponera coarctata, Ponera testacea
Articles overhauled/major contributions/changes: Stenamma debile
