|| Due to real life issues, chief but not sole among which are health concerns, I do from time to time disappear from Wikipedia completely out of the blue, or suddenly radically decrease activity.
This absence can be as short as a few days and as long as a year or more.

I am '''AddWittyNameHere'''. Dutch AFAB [[agender]], in my 30s, pronoun-indifferent so whichever pronoun you use works. Witty and AWNH are the more common abbreviations of my username, but I'm not particularly picky about that either. (If I can figure you mean me, and you're not blatantly insulting, whatever you come up with is fine)

I'm on the autistic spectrum. For the most part, this doesn't impact my editing beyond choice of subject&mdash;I've got an enduring fascination with insects in general and [[Lepidoptera]] in specific&mdash;but I can occasionally slip into overly long-winded explanations or over-reliance on '''bold''' and ''italic'' text when I feel the exact nuances of a situation/subject are important. I try to keep a lid on that, but every now and then I fail to notice it, so '''''please''''' feel free to point it out to me where it hinders rather than helps communication.

My edits tend to come in short bursts of high activity, followed by longer periods of little to no activity. Although I am in the Netherlands (timezone UTC+1/UTC+2 during DST), I have a somewhat weird sleep schedule, and as such am more likely to be around between 22:00-06:00 UTC than anything "typical" for my timezone. In addition to the languages in my Babel box over ===>, there's another bunch of European languages I can to some degree read but am not confident speaking/writing in. 

== My work at Wikipedia ==
'''Right now:'''
Something-or-another [[Lepidoptera]]. Got a good few tasks I flitter back and forth between because moth work is rarely small scale and even with my autistic hyperfocus there is only so long I can stand to make near-identical fixes across articles before I feel a pressing need to do something else for a bit. 

{{collapse top|title=Lepidoptera-related}}
* Adding, adjusting, diffusing, removing redundant categories on articles
* Adding, adjusting, diffusing stub-templates on articles
* Creating, updating, templating, categorizing redirects
* Patrolling frequently misused categories for wrongly added, or insufficiently diffused, articles
* Creating further subcategories for overly large, partially diffused categories like {{cl|Moth genera}}
* Converting taxoboxes to the automatic taxobox system, and creating taxonomy templates where needed
* Adding, referencing, wikilinking taxon authorities in infobox and mentioning those in the prose
* Adding, referencing taxon synonyms and adding them to the infobox
* Filtering non-valid taxa out of lists, and adding missing taxa to them
* Filling out bare-linked references, and inlining general references where appropriate
* Repair broken reference links where site's url structure has changed since the references were made (e.g. Afromoths genus-level pages)
* Adding additional references to moth and butterfly stubs
* Expanding moth and butterfly stubs
* Updating taxonomy
* Merging monotypical taxa that have two articles where [[WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA]] says only one should exist
* Moving monotypical taxa that are located at the wrong title per [[WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA]]
* Creating the occasional article

'''Long-term/general, not Lepidoptera-related''':
* As above but for other insects, spiders, and more rarely other parts of the [[WP:TOL|Tree of Life]]
* Creating missing articles on subjects that happen to have caught my interest ([[girl soldiers]], [[Gerrit Johannes Geysendorffer]], [[Robert S. Dickey]])
* Fixing typos when I happen to come across them
* The occasional bit of work with redirects, stubs and categorization outside Tree of Life, mostly on an as-I-come-across-it basis.

I used to be a fairly active vandal-fighter in my early wiki days, but these days engage in that only once in a blue moon in between bursts of maintenance-gnoming.

Have a nice day, <br />
'''AddWittyNameHere'''
