I am a UK-based male Zillennial, and speak two languages fluently. English is one of them. I work in tech.

Komonzia's history with this place
editI have been editing Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikidata, and/or Wikimedia Commons since 2005, on-and-off. Deep edits and new articles are rare for me, and I usually reserve them for Commons.
Editing has been a gateway to learning about various other technical pursuits, learning how to research, as well as teaching me (with some trial and error) about human nature in online communities.
In that way, despite its numerous flaws, Wikipedia is something we can collectively attempt to improve, while in parallel learning and trying to improving individually though these actions. This is why I keep finding myself coming back.
I only use one account at a time. This one was started as a WP:CLEANSTART.
"Someone reverted my changes!"
editSorry that your change didn't stick. If I reverted your change, I likely made clear why on your talk page. If you want help, reply to that message or read up here: Help:Introduction
If you were meaning well with your change, common reasons are:
- Your edit introduced claims which aren't sourced or verifiable
- Instead, you could: search online or in a library / journal for a verifiable, reliable source.
- You tweaked claims in a way that no longer reflect the source
- Instead, you could: move the tweaked claims elsewhere in the same article and provide additional sources.
- Your edit broke something on the page
- Don't worry, just use the "show preview" button.
- Click here for a good starting point if you are brand new to editing.
- The reason is in my edit summary
- Mention me on a talk page if you need clarification. If you think it is a dispute, read WP:DISPUTE.
If you need guidance in a different language, go to Help:Introduction, in the top-right, there is a button for finding over 100 translations.
