All animals feel Wonder, and many exhibit Curiosity.

Hello and welcome. I am incredibly honoured to be a contributor to this glorious encyclopaedia. I have not been around nearly as long as some others, but I hope to remain for years to come. Like anyone else, I frequently make mistakes, although hopefully each is one I will never make again. While I have made plenty of edits in the past I regret, I like to think I have become better over time, in every possible sense of the word. I am not here to fight, so I always try to be understanding and civil should a disagreement arise. I do not have any contempt for anyone, not even vandals (I only hope they may someday be reformed).

Userboxes This user is proud to be a Wikipedian. Info Box This user believes that all articles should have an infobox. IP address This user supports mandatory registration. vandals This user wishes Wikipedia were vandal-free.

My editing style is rather unorthodox in several ways: I always prefer fewer, more significant revisions to many small edits; I tend to err on the side overlinking rather than risk underlinking; and I switch freely between US and UK spelling to keep things interesting (never on the same page of course, as that would be downright sinful). I also make sure to review two good article nominations for each of my own, per Wikipedia's unofficial recommendation. I'm not terribly busy, on here or in life, for which I am very fortunate, so if you would like my assistance for any reason, I would be glad to give it.

Articles I personally created, organised by topic, according to the system used by Wikipedia:Contents/Portals and alphabetically listed. Titles written in green are also good articles.

• Baeoentedon bouceki
• Discodon flavomarginatum

• Sauropod hiatus
• Scrobipalpa septentrionalis
• Trichorhina albida

• Syphilis in sub-Saharan Africa

• Tashkent Rebellion (1917)

• Mohammad Saifullah Ozaki

• Irreligion in Malaysia

DYK hooks I have written that appeared at some point on the Main Page, all from articles I personally expanded or created. They are here arranged in the order they ran.

• ... that Alaska marmots take turns acting as sentries to protect their colonies?
• ... that the rare Somali pigeon urgently needs a population survey?
• ... that a lack of screening for pregnant women with syphilis in sub-Saharan Africa is associated with increased infant mortality?
• ... that although Baeoentedon bouceki was collected from China in 1983, it was not formally described as a new species until 2014?
• ... that despite losing almost one thousand men capturing Malacca in 1641, the Dutch East India Company did not invest much time or energy into it afterward?
• ... that the only known specimen of the Cretaceous lizard Carsosaurus contains preserved embryos?
