Hey! I'm Fakescientist8000, but you can call me Fake! I've been editing under this account on Wikipedia since March of 2020, but I've been editing it since around 2018, at the latest. Feel free to stop by and take a look at my 'Hello' GIF, in many languages.

You'll catch me reviewing articles on in the news on the Main Page, so don't be afraid to say hi to me! :) I'm quite nice. I also help to patrol recent changes, pending changes, and the random article button, so if you see some of my edits jump from one article to another randomly, that's probably why. I occassionally help out with AfD's. I'm a bit busy, so I always appreciate talk page stalkers! If you do stop by, look at my awards! Or don't. I'm not your dad.

If you need my help or want to ask me a question, hit me up on my talk page! All I ask is that you remain civil as you do it. Remember, we're all friends here! :) Just do not click this link. Click here to find out how you can contact me.

General stuff, I think

This is reminders for me from things I've learned on here, if you want to look at them then go ahead.

• Your user/talk page is not actually yours
• Your versus You're
• To versus Too versus Two
• There versus Their versus They're
• Two things about me: I don't know what copy edit means, and I never learned how to fold properly.
• Always leave one space under a section, for formatting's sake.
• Don't ask for responsibilities you don't 100 percent know how to control.
• Be patient!
• WP:MINIMUMDEATHS is the ultimate unwritten guideline on ITN/C.

Even more stuff

Tip of the day...

How to insert a picture into an article

The syntax used for displaying an image is:

[[File:{name}|{type}|{location}|{size}|{alt=}|{caption}]]

Only [[File:{name}]] parameter is required.

Do not put spaces between parameters. The other parameters are optional and can be placed in any order. Some infoboxes do not require the brackets. Keep parameters in lower case. The other parameters are:

Type

'thumb' / 'thumbnail' or 'frame'. This causes image to be displayed with specific formatting. "thumb" is normally preferred.

Location

'right', 'left', 'center' or 'none'. Determines placement of the image on the page. "Left" or "right" is the norm, but large panoramas or timelines can be displayed in the center.

Size

{width}px or {width}x{height}px (e.g. 50x40px, would limit width to 50 pixels and height to 40 pixels). Normally only one variable is used. Use common sense when determining the sizes; you can use the "Show preview" button if you need to. If thumb or thumbnail is chosen, size should normally be left out, so that the size defaults to the size set in a user's preferences.

alt=

(keep it lower case). This is the "alternate image" parameter used to describe the image for screenreaders or for people with low-vision. It should be more descriptive than the caption alone. Do not use this for another copy of the caption or of the article title, as the reader will already be aware of these.

Caption

Any element which cannot be identified as one of the above is automatically treated as caption text. It is traditional to put this last. The caption should identify what the image is, and ideally be a complete sentence that adds to the article by pointing out something a casual reader would not have noticed otherwise, or add information the pertains to the image. Full sentence or multi fragment captions require full stop punctuation.

If you have created a picture that is not already in Wikipedia's image collection on the Commons that you want to include in an article, you will need to upload it first. Bonus tip: Similar formatting is used to insert basic audio or basic video clips into articles.
