User:Twas Now
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am a heavy addict of the Reference Desks, will sometimes assist at the Help Desk, and will sporadically chime in at WP:MfD, WP:CfD, WP:UCFD, WP:AfD, and WP:RfA.
My interests are mainly related to music, particularly Canadian indie music, and to science, particularly evolutionary theory, zoology, and biochemistry. However, I have done some translation of French Wikipedia articles (by request or from this list), and some proofreading of translated articles.
I am a WikiGnome, making small changes (grammatical, typographical, syntactical, punctuational) when I see them, and sometimes even looking at random pages to do just this. Maybe I just have editcountitis.
Some other wiki accounts I hold, though I am not very active on them:
- commons:User:Twas Now
- wikiquote:User:Twas Now
- mw:User:Twas Now
- meta:User:Twas Now
- wikispecies:User:Twas Now
