__NOTOC__
* When talking about me, refer to me in third person as she/her or they/them. Either one works (though I am a female editor IRL).
[[Category:Christian Wikipedians]]
 
[[Category:Female Wikipedians]]
* I usually do grammar edits or anti-vandalism work.
 
* When I make substantial edits, I usually edit [[Christianity|Christian]] topics or politics because I've spent too much time reading about those topics, and my upbringing predisposes me to reading about them.
 
* Although I tend to edit/create articles about [[conservatism|conservative]] figures, I am unsure of my political ideology and do not consider myself conservative.
 
* I am studying Spanish so I can do some translation work sometime in the future.
 
* Off wiki, I play classical [[violin]] but I do not edit classical music articles on wiki.
 
===Where Will You See Me and What Will I be Doing? (A longer bio)===
I find that I have no one interest when it comes to editing Wikipedia. When I first got started, I mostly added pictures and cleaned up bare urls (because [[User:SounderBruce|SounderBruce]] informed me about them and I wanted other articles to be bare url free). I then started commenting on ITN nominations which I still do, but with less frequency. After that, I became interested in narrating articles, but as of yet, I haven't finished a single recording. (I hope to pick that up again soon, but I'm a busy person and have little time.) At this point, I became quite busy, so the only editing I did was cleaning up missing references lists. Then, thanks to [[User:Midori No Sora|Midori No Sora]]'s talk page, I became interested in doing anti-vandal work which I do a bit of today. I also create and maintain articles pertaining to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity|Wikiproject Christianity]] because I am a [[Christian]] and I have a lot of knowledge pertaining to Christianity. I also am really interested in U.S. history and politics, but I haven't been able to edit those articles as much. These interests could all change soon and this subsection might get quite dated, so you've been warned.
