I am going to be inactive for an indeterminate period of time, but probably at least until July 2024. I‘ll do my best to occasionally read my talk page anyways.

Me
My full name is Capsicum annuum, but that's annoying to spell. You can call me whatever you want as long as it isn't mean, but a preferred nickname is Capsi.
Some of my thoughts on Wikipedia are here. Please feel free to sign my guestbook, if you‘d like.

Mistake tracking
 | This section |
The purpose of this is 1. to spot any patterns in my mistakes and 2. to contribute to a healthy environment in which it is accepted that everyone makes mistakes every now and then. The above notice is genuine; if I meaningfully mess up, please feel free to add an entry here.
- August 2023: This relist was, as it appears, no good. It was discussed here, and I later undid it.
- July 2023: AfD'd Johanna Staude too quickly, and it was subsequently improved substantially.
- June 2023: Spent half an hour rewriting Elisa_Hategan#Legal_issues, proceeded to refer to USD.
Disclosures
Paid editing
I have received compensation from Carnegie Mellon University for my participation in pilot testing for this research project, specifically the edit quality campaign. The edits related to this compensation were only edit evaluations (edit damage and edit intent) and discussion thereof for research purposes within the scope of Wikibench. No edits outside of the project space relate to this compensation.
I have never edited for pay outside of this research project, and I don't intend to edit for pay in the foreseeable future.
If someone claims to be me, offering any kind of paid editing services, they are scamming you.

 On 17 August 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Angela Merkel, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that former German chancellor Angela Merkel's grandfather likely fought against Germany in World War I? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Angela Merkel. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Angela Merkel), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
