About me

"Be a good editor. The Universe needs more good editors, God knows."
– Kurt Vonnegut, Form of Fiction term paper assignment, November 30, 1965. In Kurt Vonnegut: Letters

I mostly fix technical errors and sometimes do some copy editing.

If you're ever wondering whether I will feel bad that you're changing an edit of mine, don't worry. I don't take anything that happens on Wikipedia personally. I have much bigger fish to fry. Or, as Merlin Mann says: "Sorry. I don't argue on the internet."

I am a member and Coordinator of the Guild of Copy Editors and participate in their monthly editing drives and blitzes.

I can't believe that searching for Wookieelink in Wikipedia shows zero results.

I eliminated most of the errors from the 8,000+ articles that made their way into Category:Pages with citations having wikilinks embedded in URL titles since it was created in April 2013. (Done in September 2013.) I have since made many thousands of similar gnome edits, with a focus on citations and broken syntax.

Useful links and tools that I always forget how to use.
