I apologize in advance of all future interactions; I have the misfortune of being long-winded.
Hello. I am new here and still learning the technological aspects of editing. I am taking the advice to edit boldly, but please inform me if I am stepping on toes and/or inadvertently creating an administrative nightmare.
In my fugue state of hyperfocus I may become overzealous, so I welcome feedback when my ambition overreaches my accuracy, mortifying as it may be.
Works
[edit]The vast bulk of my work in updating taxa, cleaning up resulting page moves, and amending incorrect species IDs. Lately, I have also begun to update the references I come across with DOI links or links to free-access versions of articles if I can.
Here is a list of more substantial edits or writings I have made. I will add as I create them, and as I remember what I have worked on (doing this from the start would have been clever...I suspect there's a half dozen or so pages I have fully forgotten contributing to). For now I will not be including, for example, Genus articles with only massive taxa and synonym updates. Simply because the list would be very long.
Please be encouraged to improve my writing, for while I can be a stickler for editing, when creating from scratch I miss the forest for getting lost in the weeds, so to speak. I have the heart of a taxonomist, and hours crossreferencing research or arguing on iNat can often result in articles or subsections I should certainly have slept on before creating.

- Ceratodoris
- Facelinopsis marioni

Requests
[edit]In the future I will add papers I am unable to access, or little tasks I cannot complete for one reason for another.
- Facelinopsis could use buffing, but the paper describing Facelinopsis pacodelucia (https://web.archive.org/web/20220308123349/https://mdc.ulpgc.es/utils/getfile/collection/racc/id/822/filename/815.pdf) is in Spanish, which I have no skills in.
Bulletin
[edit]-26.Sep.8: Due to life changes, activity may be heavily paused, or doing side-edits instead of resolving the horrid Ekimova et al. 2026 mess. I think I have to write a paper in order to justify, by Wikipedia standards, undoing all that. Which I do plan to, or at least write an article that no one will read. However, due to said lifechanges it will be quite a while until I have anything neat and tidy enough to publish. Like sisyphus I am bound to hell.
In the meantime, if you wish to reverse any of my edits made in accordance to Ekimova et al. 2026, by all means! Go buck wild. Apologies for making them in the first place--at the time it was done with good intentions, but I knew far less then than I do now. Ironically, I was doing my best to showcase neutrality and maintain current taxonomic standards when making them.
