My first edit of my Wikipedia tenure was on March 8, 2021. Since then, I have made over 9000 edits on a variety of pages.
Only pages to which I've made significant contributions (as well as edits that bring me pride) are listed, as opposed to a full list of my contributions.[note 1][note 2] The date ranges are approximate, as "projects" are often retrospective constructions.
Wikipedia's principle of maintaining a neutral point of view requires that editors with conflicts of interest (COIs) avoid disruptive editing. However, editors with COIs are among the most passionate about the subjects in question, and I don't believe we should block them wholesale from making valuable contributions.
When I have a COI, I usually stick to non-substantial changes (e.g. adding images, improving formatting, correcting grammar). To ensure I am editing ethically, I will disclose all relevant conflicts of interest to the best of my ability:[note 1]
I have to remind some people of some policies and guidelines all the time. So I'm starting a collection of them right here on my user page! I also cite some essays that seem like common sense to me, so I'm including some here. Also, if I'm ever a hypocrite by breaking the principles in these pages, please point it out!
12Please do not try to connect my real-life identity to this account. I voluntarily release certain information or encourage the viewing of publicly available information for transparency, to disclose conflicts of interest, and to aid the editing process. If you are a Wikipedia user, see WP:PRIVACY. Regardless of Wikipedia status, please empathize with me and respect my privacy.
↑My contributions are not indications of interest in any subjects, only indications of awareness of said subjects' existence.
