Who am I?

edit

I am a college student who is I hoping to contribute something here when I can. I prefer not to disclose such information as my name, hometown, or gender. Because I attempt to be aware of my and others' grammar, this may provide me with an opportunity to respectfully correct people pro bono, with reluctant respect to generally accepted colloquialisms like ending sentences with prepositions. Besides this, I may also decide to make Userboxes for use on other users' pages.

I personally admire Wikipedia as a project; I believe it is too often devalued and dismissed altogether. The usual argument supporting this is that Wikipedia is not an academically recognized source. However, Wikipedia knows this, and in fact, encourages skepticism of itself. It knows that it is forever in development; it can never be complete. Wikipedia said to be unreliable due to its incompleteness because completeness is not its purpose. Wikipedia's purpose is to grow and perhaps allow its contributors to grow with it. All things considered, I'm glad to contribute what I can to this project, whether that means spending two hours making citations, rewriting paragraphs or just adding in a missing Oxford Comma.

Also I apologize for the pronoun joke formerly on my page.

I also have a Wikimedia Commons account, but I haven't yet done anything with it.

Purpose

edit

I usually only copy edit pages, as I have little in the way of free time and books related to random topics, but I will occasionally source an online news article to fill out an article lacking. I don't copy edit pages that don't cite their sources, as presenting potentially false information using proper grammar is, to me, like putting lipstick on a pig.
