About me

edit

I am a compulsive proofreader.

I am drawn to the macabre, the bizarre, the sensational and the offbeat. I think foreign languages are the cat's pajamas.

Wikipedia has given me endless hours of edifying edutainment, and I'd like to give back somehow—more than I have in the past. The process of editing and contributing here involves many of the same skills I use in my day job, so it's something useful to do with myself when said day job lacks for tasks.

My favorite wiki-activities are copy editing, proofreading, wikifying and translating. I don't really like combing through references.

The illustrious(?) Swarm has kindly adopted me, that my Wiki-fu might be strengthened. Huzzah!

Because someone will eventually discover that the old, original versions of my user page were shorter, snarkier, and nastier—I'm sorry about that! I do not bite and I want to be fair and kind.
