Introduction
Hi. I'm PorkchopGMX, and i edit Wikipedia sometimes, even here. I try to revert vandalism as fast as i can using Twinkle and recent changes patrolling. Well, not really vandalism, more bad-faith edits, i always have that set while reverting. I also sometimes make minor edits, like spelling corrections. I like editing my userpages a lot too.
Update: As of November 2020, I will now be putting my focus on the following tasks:
- Responding to {{help me}} requests through CAT:HM
- Responding to questions at the Help desk and Teahouse
- Helping out with substituting, orphaning, and replacing templates with a consensus to delete or replace at the Templates for discussion holding cell
- Honestly I’m not sure what else
Important: I am diagnosed with autism and ADHD. This can make it hard for me to communicate with other people, among other things. That being said, I am really sorry if I treat others in a bad way, get out of control, etc. I am not trying to harass you or treat you unfairly intentionally, sometimes autism gets in the way of that. I try to stay calm whenever I can and will never try to do edit warring. Again, I’m really sorry if I did this to you and I will never try to do it again. See also: WP:AUTIST.
I am not affiliated with GMX Mail in any way whatsoever.
If i revert something that isn't vandalism, cause an edit war / violate the three revert rule, or you want to talk about other things, you can do so on my user talk page.

The history of me
My editing history
 | This user page needs to be updated. Please help update this user page to reflect recent events or newly available information. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page. |
In school, I use a Chromebook as well as the other students. I started an unhealthy habit of reading Wikipedia articles. Unfortunately, the school’s IP was always blocked because that’s what normally happens (i remember seeing the terrible {{school block}} and {{Shared IP edu}} messages). This continued for some time, until March 2018, when I decided that enough is enough and I created PorkchopGMX and PorkchopGMX2 accounts at home. I really wanted to revert vandalism on the article Jollo because it sticked for over a month, and it had low traffic, so I did that. Unfortunately, I misunderstood what a WikiGame is and subsequently nominated my userpage for deletion (
Facepalm). I later increasingly decided to revert vandalism, and used Twinkle and the recent changes page. One of the accounts, PorkchopGMX2, I used it at school and soon it surpassed PorkchopGMX, my main account. Preparing for a change, I moved PorkchopGMX to PorkchopGMX872, and then later PorkchopGMX2 to PorkchopGMX, causing a redirect mess which didn’t allow me to move my talk page to the new name. Eventually, I kept editing and reverting vandalism, and fixed typos and edited my userpage a bunch. When I went up to Minnesota for vacation, I took a wikibreak to enjoy summer and one of those months (I think July) I made less than 15-20 edits, my all time low. When I came back from Minnesota, i started to edit at a normal pace.

My real-life history
I was born here and had a home there, specifically here. Then we took a long trip and moved and rented a house here. Then we moved to here, which is where I currently live. But, sometimes I go here, which is close to here.
Other usernames
- PorkchopGMX backup. A backup account used when i am unable to access this account. Because the times that i get locked out vary, this account might be super active, or inactive, or... yeah it's still neutral (when i use it)
- PorkchopGMX test, for testing purposes.
- PorkchopGMX872. I used to use 2 accounts regularly, this one and this account that i still use to this day. However i stopped using it when i thought that you don't need to use 2.
- PorkchopGMX2. This one was the second account (mentioned above) i used along with PorkchopGMX872 (used at school). However i increasingly used this account more often than previous one, so PorkchopGMX2 became this account and PorkchopGMX became PorkchopGMX872. (account name currently unregistered)
- Porkchop Jr., previous name from late May to early September 2018. (account name currently unregistered)
- PorokchopGMX and PorkchopGMXX. They are doppelgänger accounts.
- Example4. Another example account used in documentation and testing.
- I might use an IP address when i forget to log in, or on purpose (though not to sockpuppet).
I have used other accounts and IPs in the past, but some of them are not listed because i forgot about them.
Note: I am “PorkchopGMX” on The Test Wiki.
