I know Wikipedia can be an intimidating environment. All the policies, aggressive editors, weird syntax and systemic bias do not make for a very welcoming atmosphere.

If you have questions or ever want feedback on anything, you can always ping me or write on my talk page. I do not know everything, but usually can find someone who would be able to help. Let us build the world's largest encyclopedia together!

Software developer and works council member based in Berlin, Germany and passionate about free information, journalism, digital rights and Yiddish culture. Most of my editing lately are with WikiProject Labor and improving coverage of trade unions, particularly of transnational companies. Have a specific company in mind? Suggest one on my talk page. You can read an interview I did with fellow editor User:Zarasophos on the topic of digital unionism and Wikipedia.

I am not a lawyer, but my work involves a lot of legal analysis and research, and I enjoy writing and researching about technology, labor law and other laws in general. I am not very knowledgeable about art, but would love to learn more about it, particularly Mucha, Chagall, Höch.

I have Waardenburg Syndrome, which gives me brilliant blue eyes, deafness and a streak of silver hair. I can be contacted via Twitter or email: yonatan [at] shushugah [dot] com.

My goals are to have/create a Wikipedia article about every single notable Jewish newspaper, document all labor relations/trade unions of major transnational companies and make gnome edits here and there. I'm regularly active in Wikipedia:Teahouse and Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) and would love to make my first Lua Module contribution soon. You can also learn from my Mistakes.™️

The main benefit I see from Wikipedia:Good articles review process, is getting extra pair of eyes on Article quality. Many reviews can be quite pedantic, but in the end, they improve the quality of the article even when it doesn't reach Good Article status. It also ensures some kind of compliance with WP:Manual of Style and prose/sourcing.

On 20 May 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article IBM worker organization, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that IBM worker organizations compared the company's business deals with apartheid South Africa in the 1970s to those with Nazi Germany? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/IBM worker organization. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, IBM worker organization), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
