The Reason To Edit
editThe arrow of time waits for no human being, no creature, no structure or facet of the universe and, inexorably, the whole of existence will move along such that the events of today, with all their emotional gravity and circumstance, are not but a whimper of starlight in the distance to nigh-infinite worlds orbiting nigh-infinite stars.
The cataloging of what was and is, as fraught or futile as it may seem in the gaze of deep time, represents one of the most transcendent aspects of sentient existence — the struggle to preserve the now such that it may remain known when, inevitably, the here becomes the hereafter, and the whole of existence is slowly pulled behind the cosmic curtain, forever entombing it, along with most of the past, in the forever unknowable. ~Gwennie🐈｟💬 📋｠ 14:20, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
What I Do On-Wiki
editMy typical editing is limited to en-wiki, commons, and wikidata. (the latter two are primarily edited in support of the former)
As a WikiPuma, a WikiFauna archetype I very much identify with, most of my edits are made towards expanding stub or start pages within my interests or expertise. I tend to take research and writing seriously for these.
| Recent Changes Patroling | WikiLove and positive support | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| When I have no particular thing project or article I'm working on developing, I can primarily be found prowling the recent changes and reverting vandalism/unconstructive edits. | I believe very strongly in thanking and supporting other editors for their contributions. While some domestic cats like to offer prey to their caretakers, this WikiPuma likes to leave thank you notes and barnstars. | ||||

WikiProjects and fields I contribute to
edit
|
|
| ||||||
| As a LGBTQ editor, I watch and edit many LGBTQ-related pages. My primary focus is on gender-related pages, as I am transgender as well. | As a neopagan editor, I am keenly interested in pagan and new age pages and try to contribute to them. Especially as this field is very niche. | As a born-and-bred Iowan, I have good understanding of the goings-on around the state and do my best to contribute my knowledge to the wiki. |
Frequently-Edited Pages
editCurrent (Actively Developing/Editing)
edit- 1986–1987 John Deere strike
First editor/creator of this page. Created it using AfC for the first time due to COI. 
In progress - Wi Spa controversy — First editor/creator of this page. Once again the irony of a trans individual creating this page…
Reopened (every couple weeks or so)
Idle (Actively Watching/Periodic Editing)
edit- Gender reveal party — Completely rewrote and cleaned up the article from scratch in 2020. Ironic for a trans person to clean up this article. Perhaps true, perhaps fitting.
Completed
- August 2020 Midwest derecho — Primary editor and updater. Responsible for ≈50% (metric depending) of the page content as of September 7 2020. Reopened (every couple months or so)
- Modern Pagan views on LGBT people — First editor/creator of this page. Ported and massively rewrote a previous page called Wiccan views on LGBT people. It's a pet project at dovetails with my spiritual views a bit. Reopened (every couple months or so)
Spyglass (Watching Tacitly/Not Typically Editing)
edit- Superman (ice cream flavor) — Rewrote and cleanup up the article in mid-2021. Completed
- Abigail Thorn — Since she came out as trans and I have a good knowledge of that topic arena. Completed
- Dryer ball — Expanded from stub to start class. (Also uploaded
Media related to Dryer balls at Wikimedia Commons, and created the category.) Why did I start doing this? No idea. Just stumbled onto it and kitty pounce! Completed - Many pages in Category:Medical colleges in Bangladesh. Cleaning them up after promotional edits were made by a sock/meat person/group. Completed
- Women in Kuwait — Completely rewritten, verified all citations, and such, after request from another user.
Halted editing after content dispute - 2021 storming of the United States Capitol — Early editor of the page. Most notably overhauled the infobox and the section about Parler. Completed
- Ankeny, Iowa — Has significantly expanded, rewritten, and improved this article. As the author's childhood hometown, it was a personal interest to see the article improved. Completed
Abandoned (No Longer Watching or Editing)
edit- List of people killed for being transgender — Frequent page editor in 2019. As a transgender person herself, this user felt dedicating time toward this was important.
Delisted
- Impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump — Contributed mostly to the public opinion polling section Delisted
- East Village (Des Moines) - Minor expansion of the stub Delisted

Evaluating Edits (Typically During RCP) |
Regarding Bias
editI have strong biases, but pride myself on maintaining WP:NPOV. I believe honest self-critique so other users can, in good faith, hold me accountable as well as understand where I come from, which could help with resolving disputes. If you believe I am suffering bias issues, let's talk about it.
I would like to remind others that bias isn't a COI.
Regarding COI
editI have never edited for any form of payment or at the direction of any organization.
However, I am a United Auto Workers member working for Deere & Company and was a participant in the 2021 John Deere strike. So I should be considered to have a COI if writing about issues related to the UAW or Deere. I intend to only edit in a space I have COI in the best possible fashion with reliable sources and neutral presentation.
