I'm trying to spend less time online, but often don't succeed. If I'm absent for some weeks, it's a sign of success.

When online, I write articles, improve articles, and am sometimes active at Articles for deletion. Due to the intensity at AFD, I often don't follow the conversation after I've opined, trying Catch Once and Leave. I try to write about topics that are under-represented, including biographies of women, and people from the global south. Other topics include books, resource extraction, environmental justice, and current affairs and events.

I make maximum effort to create longer articles where possible, often expanding ones I started. Articles that I started have been viewed over 10 million times.

I recommend the Wikipedia Library and the Internet Archive for sources.
