User:Mechla

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm a relatively new editor still learning my way around the wiki markup and getting acquainted with the manual of style. Feel free to leave constructive criticism or tips on my talk page.

I live in a rural area of the Missouri Ozarks, and have a B.A. in English from the University of Oregon. My professional training is in newspaper copy editing, though I have not worked in that field for a number of years. I fear my copy-editing skills have become extremely rusty, and editing here at Wikipedia is a low-stress, enjoyable way of sharpening them again.

My username, Mechla, is a Hebrew word meaning illness or affliction. I chose it because I feel it represents the addictive nature of Wikipedia. It's all too easy to get lost for hours in the labyrinth of hyperlinks.
