About my signature

Rannpháirtí anaithnid [ˈɾˠan̪ˠfaːɾʲˌtʲiː əˈn̪ˠahnʲɪdʲ] is Irish Gaelic for (an) anonymous contributor:

rannpháirtí m4 s participant, contributor, subscriber

anaithnid a1 unknown, anonymous

A previous version of my signature used the ponc séimhithe (a dot above a letter instead of a succeeding h) and the word coṁrá (comhrá), which means discussion or chat in Gaelic:

comhrá m4 s chat, conversation, dialogue, discussion, talk

I found, however, that many editors had difficulty knowing what to call me so I changed my signature to simply RA in February 2010.

— RA (talk)

Work on Wikipedia

• I have a Wiki-personality disorder:
  • WikiOgre: my cave is mainly Irish interest, and mainly politics/history related
  • WikiFairy: templates, user boxes and images
  • WikiGnome: new pages, recent changes and the Ireland portal
  • WikiElf: Wikipedians looking for help
• I have written one essay that I am proud of: IPs are human too.
• I have developed a JavaScript framework and IDE for writing bots and operate a bot based on it.

I am considering requesting adminship and would like to invite comments from the community on whether I would be suitable.

Former account

This editor is a Veteran Editor III.

I previously edited under the name "sony-youth". The edit history for that account is here.

In between the period contributions under my former account and my current one, I edited (less actively) as an IP. I wrote the essay, IPs Are Human Too, based on my experience editing as an anon during that time.

Between these two accounts I have made over 16,000 edits to Wikipedia since July 2004. Using my bot account, I have made another 11,000 edits since September 2009.

“ Wikipedia's articles are no place for strong views. Or rather, we feel about strong views the way that a natural history museum feels about tigers. We admire them and want our visitors to see how fierce and clever they are, so we stuff them and mount them for close inspection. We put up all sorts of carefully worded signs to get people to appreciate them as much as we do. But however much we adore tigers, a live tiger loose in the museum is seen as an urgent problem. ” — User:William Pietri, Talk:Simon Wessely (15 November 2005)
