Greetings

The English Wikipedia is my wikihome. I began formal editing in October 2005, seeking to improve music-related articles. I have observed several WikiProjects, but participated mostly in Classical Music and Film. A large chunk of my early edits came in 2007–08. In 2015–16, I mostly answered edit and move requests, worked on templates and modules, patrolled DISPLAYTITLE and DEFAULTSORT issues, and monitored editnotices. I've been on an extended wikibreak through 2024.

Articles, files, other contributions

On the English Wikipedia, I credit myself with creating the following articles. I created some early ones with an old IP of an ISP I formerly used.

Alternate accounts

I have an alternate account that I use for public security and for proof-of-concept script testing. I have an inactive bot account for automated edits and maintenance work. Currently, I do not send semi-automated AWB edits through this account.
