My name's Xan ✨ and I'm on the en wikipedia and wikimedia commons.
About
Avid internet user and probable Wikipedia contributor. Has a website that's kept up to date with the latest and greatest information about them. Likes adding more info to articles about interests like software and making adjustments to sentences grammar & punctuation (this sentence probably messed up both of those).
Notes
- Curious as to why there seems to be no userboxes about liking indie pop or alternative rock music genres or artists. I might figure out how to make some or another contributor could.
- I really like how Wikipedia is so customizable, enjoyed reading some Wikipedia Essays, and understand why it makes it harder for Tor users to contribute in some scenarios.
- Messed around in the settings to enable the Vector '22 theme and HotCat + dark mode toggle + Justify paragraphs + Twinkle gadgets; all of which are pretty cool.
- My last user page was deleted because of U5. A non-contributor's misuse of Wikipedia as a web host. Hopefully this iteration closely relates to Wikipedia's goals more so than previously.
