Current Focus

I love to learn about new topics! To better discover and retain knowledge, I plan to edit and create articles about the topics in which I'm learning. Obviously, there are many topics that won't need my help but when they do, I'll be there! OlYeller ^chat 17:15, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

-I generally focus on the list of new page areas below.  I feel that I may benefit Wikipedia the greatest by assessing new articles, sifting out obvious problem articles (copyvios mostly), and engaging new editors to outline the problems with those articles as well as invite them to become a regular contributor to Wikipedia.
-Additionally, I work at [[WP:COIN]] and enjoy it for two major reasons.  One is investigating and determining whether or not there is a close connection between an editor and the subject of an article they're editing.  I personally enjoy the detective work and find that I'm often the voice of reason in the often seen lynch mobs that feel that having a close connection should bar one from editing an article or subject.  Secondly, I like working with new editors.  So many new editors come to WP and are [[WP:BITE|bitten]] (almost always unintentionally) and never come back.  Editors who come to Wikipedia to write about something they know intimately about show an obvious interest in WP and are often lynched for their connection which often has a bad result for everyone involved.  I do my best to talk to new editors and not only help them understand the issues they're running into but guide them to other areas of WP where their interest may be beneficial to Honda.  The number of editors who come here with a COI and unintentionally make problematic edits is huge and turning those editors into contributors is not only beneficial to WP, it's very rewarding.
