I've been editing Wikipedia since 2006, but only since 2012 under this signon. I'm happy to help new editors with what I know, if you leave a message on my talk page.
Sorry, however, I don't get involved withDYK, GA, FA, or Article creation requests, although if I see some activity of that sort in an area that interests me I may contribute some edits. Also, sorry, I don't work on bird articles; that is because two aspects of ornithology are too much at odds with the way I was trained in biology: its simple species concepts and its standardized common names.
User:Ocotea is a signon that I use for lengthy cleanup efforts so that the watchlist for that signon doesn't become muddled with the watchlist for this one.
