I mostly work in the Articles for Creation process, but I also am involved with the Guild of Copy Editors and am an avid follower of ArbCom reports. I live in Pittsburgh and would love to help you out. I tend to be a bit verbose, but am always ready to help you. I started hosting because I issue so many Teahouse invites in my AfC work and decided to help out here myself.
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. —Gautama Buddha
Brambleberry has been an editor since Christmas 2007. She's a WikiPuma whose main topics of expertise are YA fantasy novels, mythology, and animals. So if you have a YA fantasy novel about a mythological animal, she's your girl. She answers questions about how Wikipedia runs and where you should go for various things. Don't ask her about pictures, though. She doesn't know what she's talking about there.
I will always be on your side. I'm your medicine cat. You can trust me with anything. —~Brambleberry to Crookedstar, Kate Cary, Crookedstar's Promise
Hi, I'm a Wikipedian from North Yorkshire, in England. Whilst most of my article writing has been about mountains and churches, I am willing to help new users with anything from collaborating on DYKs to the nitty-gritty on how the project works, as well as any other general help.
Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all. —Hypatia of Alexandria

I'm a regular editor at Wikipedia. I give times to AFC, recent changes which means reverting vandal edits also helping who needs help. I also edit and write articles in here at WP.
Don't copy anything or anyone. In this universe you can have lookalikes but you're unique. You're thought, fingerprint, body building are different from other lookalikes. So become you. You can take ideas from any person but you can't copy that person. Cause you're the only one like you in the universe. —Myself
I'm a retired astrophysicist / software engineer, and also a grandmother of four. I repair references on Wikipedia (help welcomed) and try to write and improve articles on women in science.
Because the cosmos is also within us. We're made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself. —Carl Sagan
I concentrate on content creation, referencing and expanding mediocre articles, the "Articles for deletion" process, and welcoming and mentoring new editors. I recommend A Primer for newcomers to new editors.
When was the last time that you tried something for the first time?
I'm a member of Wikiproject elements, for one thing, and I tend to improve existing articles within that project's scope. I also sometimes expand WP:STUBs on rivers and write articles on objects/events with some historical significance. I'm also a fairly active vandal-fighter. I've been a Wikipedian since August 2012.
I've been active on Wikipedia since 2009, and I tend to do a bit of everything on Wikipedia - writing, proof-reading and helping around. I may disappear off the radar for periods as I drown in school work, but I'll be back editing furiously during school breaks!
Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much —Oscar Wilde
I've been on Wikipedia for seven months now (that can't be right...), and I feel that I'd be able to help new users. I feel that sometimes not enough is done to ensure that new users understand how Wikipedia works. Howicus (talk) 02:35, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nthep is a bit of a WikiGnome with an interest in history. Most of his best Wikipedia work is done with feline assistance (see photo). He also prefers coffee or beer to tea. Favourite thing he's learned from Wikipedia - that he's not an intellectual because he can't listen to the William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger
He who never makes mistakes never makes anything - so apt for Wikipedia. No-one should be afraid to try and edit, as anything can be repaired if it's not right.

And by the way, if you want helpful help, don't diss the Phillies !
I've been here for a bit over a year now, doing various things like dispute resolution, new page patrol, and (of course) the Teahouse. I'm an admin, so I do those types of things, too. Questions are good: ask them of me or anyone else here!
I think it's time for us to recognize the differences we sometimes fear to show. —Rush, "Entre Nous"
I have been on Wikipedia for several months, but can still be found asking questions at the Teahouse. I generally patrol new pages, and revert vandalism using STiki

I am an Australian editor. My interests are broad and I will go wherever I think I can make an improvement to an article. I have learned from some wonderful editors and am more than happy to share the little I know with new editors. I try to stay civil at all times as I believe this contributes to a positive community.
Don’t argue with idiots because they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience. —Greg King

Hey folks, I'm Jethro. I want you to have a positive experience using Wikipedia, so let me know how I can help you accomplish your goals on here whether that's starting a new article, learning how Wikipedia works, or just how make stuff in italics. I also know a little Japanese and a good deal about Japan, psychology, and Chicago.
I'm active in many areas of Wikipedia, depending on how I feel at the time; at present I'm usually to be found pottering around dealing with admin backlogs. I actually spend more time deleting than creating these days; if your article got tagged for deletion, I will probably be able to explain why, and maybe help you redraft it to comply with Wikipedia's requirements.
Failure is the key to success; every mistake teaches us something. —Morihei Ueshiba
Though I have quite a lot of experience in other areas, my main activity recently has been patrolling new pages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:NewPagesFeed). Most of what I do is speedy deletes, AfD's and Tagging. I thought it might be helpful to try to answer new editors questions and advise them before they create new articles, rather than speedy deleting them after they create them.
We are not interested in the fact that the brain has the consistency of cold porridge. —Alan Turing
I have had a great deal of past experience with Wikipedia formatting. I am proficient in the Manual of Style and am aware of all the expectations and skill requirements of being a host of the Teahouse.

I focus on video game and astronomy articles as well as various topics that interest me personally. I've created quite a few articles so if you have questions about article creation I can definitely help out.
I have, recently, focused in on autism-related topics, especially autism researchers. I have historically focused on global warming as well. I use Stiki and Twinkle to combat vandalism.
I am a college freshman in the United States. Also, sorry about the stern-looking picture, I don't have many on hand right now.
Thanks for becoming a host! Next...
