Helpful information
Since Wikipedia is a project that relies on the cooperation of many editors, information regarding my efforts may help other editors understand my interests, priorities and abilities. My major activities include:
- Mastering the art of STiki
- Reading and editing medical/anatomy articles
- Engaging in frenzied bouts of serial editing on an article
- Engaging in exuberant, serial welcoming messages to those registering their new user name (along with the appropriate warning about unconstructive editing)
- Reviewing and patrolling new pages
- Answering easy Teahouse questions
- Editing random Lepidoptera articles
- Creating content and articles on subjects that interest me
- Having a casual interest in topics related to increasing participation on Wikipedia by women

I am a Good Faith Fanatic
- WP:Assume good faith
- Assuming good faith is a fundamental principle on Wikipedia. I assume that editors' edits and comments are made in good faith. Most people try to help the project, not hurt it. If this were not true, the encyclopedia would be doomed from the beginning. It cannot be accepted in the presence of obvious evidence to the contrary (vandalism). Assuming good faith does not prohibit discussion and criticism. Good faith also requires the use of courtesy and consideration.
- Good faith requires us to try, to the best of our ability, to explain and resolve the problem, not cause more conflict, and so give others the opportunity to reply in kind. Consider whether a dispute stems from different perspectives, and look for ways to reach consensus.
- When doubt is cast on good faith, continue to assume good faith yourself when possible. Be civil and follow dispute resolution procedures, rather than attacking editors. Bad conduct may seem to be due to bad faith but it is usually best to address the conduct without mentioning motives.
