First time caller, long time listener.

Hello, fellow Wikipedians! After years upon years of avid Wikipedia use, I've finally started to dip my toes into contributing. I have a B.A. in English Literature and worked as a copywriter and have worked in digital marketing since 2015. I oftentimes find myself down the Wikipedia rabbit hole, and with my background of scholarly writing, I have already found making edits extremely fulfilling! As strange as it sounds, I dearly miss writing research-focused essays, and this is a great way to scratch that itch.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to say hi! I would also greatly appreciate any help with formatting, style, and etiquette, as this is all very new (and somewhat intimidating, honestly). However, I've spent lots of time copy-editing and taking critiques over the last decade or so, and I'm always open to constructive criticism and am ready to learn.

I hope this works! RossEugene (talk) 16:58, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia has a strange, strange ability to suck you in. If you ever need clarification or explanation for something, please let me know. Best wishes, Sdrqaz (talk) 10:53, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
