Hi, I'm Paul! My pronouns are he/him.[a]

I joined Wikipedia in 2013 after having experience with an internal MediaWiki site for an organization I worked for (it's worth noting that I'm happy to discuss why your organization or company might use a wiki as their intranet site/for internal documentation).

I enjoy starting new articles across a variety of topics, uploading images[b] and audio files (here and on English Wiktionary), doing WikiGnome tasks (often reference-related[c] fixes), and helping new editors. I really like submitting new/improved articles to Did you know.... Let me know if you are interested in collaborating!

My editing preference is to use the source editor (Wiki Markup). I know it well & sometimes use software like Sublime Text, vim, and Notepad++ for more tedious tasks like finding & replacing text throughout a page's source.[d] I occasionally use Python and other command-line tools for my edits.[e]

N.b.: I try and save a copy of references that I add or edit when they are not/cannot be archived in the Wayback Machine, archive.is, Megalodon.jp (a.k.a. gyo.tc), and/or ghostarchive.org.[f] If you are in search of such a reference that I've cited/updated/etc. and cannot find it in one of these fantastic archival resources, let me know. I am an amateur archivist and recommend you check out Archive Team if you are interested to learn more.
Cite error: There are <ref group=lower-alpha> tags or {{efn}} templates on this page, but the references will not show without a {{reflist|group=lower-alpha}} template or {{notelist}} template (see the help page).
