I am Hypredereux (real name: Gustave Dereux), I was born on 3 May, 2003 in Toulouse, France. I’m a French content viewer and editor who is multilingual in different languages translating into Occitan, English, French, Romansh, and others. I am also a good editor on the Wikipedia site who fixes certain articles and sections, add citations, being personal in one of my favourite stuff on the page and more. I am interested in music, art, geography, politics, orthography, vehicles, and also history. My editing is usually into fixing or adding on/into articles and sections, with grammar, typo, or links.
A little bit of history
editIn the town of Toulouse, the South of France in Europe around the 2000s, my mum and dad were getting superior about moving to another country like to my country’s neighbours, Spain and Italy, when I was little, I was NOT ready to travel to one place to another, I was in school once where I had to learn all those different stuff in the first place when I was in my teens.
I started to join Wikipedia on 9 November 2023 around sunset time. I am currently 21 years old, a senior graduate from high school, when I was an incognito on Wikipedia at first glance, my dad was very interested into me going on the website myself, I’d never heard of certain pages before, now I am here to edit and fix articles and sections on the website over the course of several years, and on the bright side, my career had been going very well.
Name origin
editThe etymology of the first part of my username/signature “(Sir) Hypredereux” comes from the word “hyper”, flipping the ‘er’ into a ‘re’, a misconceptioned word in French, known as ‘hypre’, which is me being super HYPER at night trying to go back, jot down and fix some music genre articles up for heaven’s sake, as in literally.
My second part of my username comes from my surname “Dereux”, I uncapitalised my surname, capitalised “Hypre”, and smushed them together into one single word, my username was created, and it came to bear the name “Hypredereux”. Both of my parents had to come up with my surname, not at least 40 years ago, what were the odds there?
Editing on the Wikipedia page
editOn the pages including music genres, countries, cars, certain artists, and many more, I didn’t even like editing at first, when I spot incorrect grammar, typo, links or unnecessary use of symbols including capitalisation, unreliable sources, captions, etc.
When I finish editing on certain pages, I really do not like being accepted into edit warring, which it is not only just by the reason of people vandalising, unnecessary content additions/removals, not even closely related to undo/reverts per se, the pain and the powers of being blocked or banned because of the fellow users on the platform, I decide that I should break up the conflicts before any further consequences.
The logic of the situations (in a nutshell), the fellow users might need to use their brains to stop editing on the pages, I am just here to fix certain things that do not lead to any edit wars, it isn’t really possible to revert on the page itself. NO other bots, users, incognitos, or special advice from the staff (for a fellow European user who edits/fixes), I see on certain articles and sections if they needed fixing up to being improved or not, I can also add certain things if they technically do exist like you see on different music genres to keep coolio or not, which would be for entertainment or any other purposes of the poor articles on the platform anymore to get everyone’s attention from my good editing on the website.
Digestion
editAfter I am done editing the pages, I will be technically one of the mechanics for the site (usually). I am new on Wikipedia, for only the first few months after my first exposure to the site and editing, my blog and notes leading to the results of me creating my user page on the platform, not to brag about the whole page itself, but to brag about what I found. The first thing that struck me after I finished editing, my bio was the variety of people who I felt that they had to edit certain things that are not really reliable on their own pages unlike the biography of me, such as my information from different regions in the world. And, to me, that’s not much. And then people, especially those who are making sure that they are not self-promoting, those who are writing a bio like a self-poem to different unpleasant souls (literally).
When it comes to fixing, I feel that they shouldn’t be the first ones to vandalise here after my revisions. So when you actually mention that you feel like an idiot, the number one thing that they say is: “Hey! I’m a vandal hahaha I’m definitely fixing this article like me, don’t revert this lol, be impressed, makes you happy!”, and that is definitely not me. I’m known for being into good articles not only relying on music and stuff, but fixing pretty good, same energy applying to other purposes that I don’t like at all.
Not being thanked!
editDoing a really great job editing and fixing on certain articles, but there is a major problem afterwards; I have not been receiving any thanks by other users whatsoever! Like literally, do you have to be joking right now?! I did a REALLY good job editing and fixing on music genre-dedicated articles and other topics and interests without being reverted by multiple counts of imbeciles including anons and sandbagging for one constant eternity later. (that’s like a reference to a famous SpongeBob meme!)
Despite being really sad when my edits haven't been thanked at all, the ONE and ONLY time I have been receiving thanks to some user called Freee Contributor for that one time I fixed the list typo in the article to “country music”, that guy was the only one who was responsible enough to thank me not to have an infobox for a popular music genre article like these, and in fact, he literally thanked for my edit to the article on my BIRTHDAY! Apparently it was a “superior and formative” birthday gift for me. This was just ridiculous and WAY out of the blue. Do NOT get me wrong on this type of stuff, you guys need to thank me more often, because you know what I mean... (my deepest thoughts on this empty contributing policy.)
Reversals
editWhilst mentioning undos and reversals, lot of times I need to get used to understand the policies or minor things before I see, then revert various edits, because they are either unnecessary, vandals, disruptive editing, unreferenced, poor editing, good-faith editing, irrelevant to topics/articles, (unexplained) content removals/additions, or trying to bring back unsupported statements and content, as if some are related to my favourite music genres (ex. hip hop/rap)
Twinkle tool that I use
editSince people may not get in trouble nor overly-concerned, I have been using the twinkle tool to make things more efficient, easier, or more-understanding. I have been giving MANY welcomes and notices to new users, anons, and people who have been around the site for quite some time.
I may help or confront them to understand the policies and other things before they continue to do it, you’ve seen them be talking about: “STOP IT! DAT AIN’T WIKI STUFF MATE!” (literally), it’s not my perfect tone nor I don’t say that at all. They might have to get blocked or banned from the site anyways, I would feel really bad and they’d feel bad for themselves too! I would decide to keep reverting back and forth to be engaged in edit warring, I mean edit warring sounds ridiculous and amusing at the same time, but I’ll let that one slide…
Nonetheless
edit(NUTSHELL, again) I give them warnings, like eviction noticing them to stop the poor editing, violating the policies unexplainably, and I felt like a RICH BOY. But maybe not.
Expand and improve
editMany other great Wikipedians helped to expand and improve various articles and sections with my friends and other people that I don’t know, like adding more citations, I would most likely to see the template tag almost EVERYWHERE, and I need to know how I can insert good reliable sources and references, even seen in my favourite music genres, or receive better info and help on their talk pages. (duh)
(HUMOUR) Which came first, the source or the page? No-one knows, get it?
Not promoting nor advisories
editI appear and about to figure out to add a lot of statements, more content, deep meanings, non-good-faithfulnesses, and add more great content so I don’t worry about needed additional help on fixes. Being to add a lot of statements and deep content can enrich your writing, offering nuanced perspectives and expanding the depth of your ideas.
However, it's crucial to ensure that your content remains authentic and free from any lack of good faith. It's always beneficial to seek help if needed, as collaboration and feedback can enhance the quality of your work without compromising its integrity. Remember that quality always TRUMPS quantity, so focus on adding meaningful and impactful content to your writing.
Conclusion
editYou and them can edit most articles that I like, with my interests and all that stuff, you might need a whole lot of oestrogen, skill and triumph into being a good content viewer editor like me, when they can’t do stuff unlike fellow users with a bunch of excuses that I went through. They cannot do that stuff! No, in the future, I will be given many thanks for me creating my user page on the platform not just like that.
Whom oughtn’t it may be concerned…
