Yunshui

I'm active in many areas of Wikipedia, depending on how I feel at the time; at present I'm usually to be found pottering around dealing with admin backlogs. I actually spend more time deleting than creating these days; if your article got tagged for deletion, I will probably be able to explain why, and maybe help you redraft it to comply with Wikipedia's requirements.

Failure is the key to success; every mistake teaches us something.

Ariconte

I'm fairly good at referencing and including references in inline citations. I like to help people find the documentation that will guide them to participate more. I'm not good at composition.

I've been reading and editing Wikipedia for a long time. Years ago I was a sailor, now older than most Wikipedians --> Hopefully more patient.

Pratyya Ghosh

I'm a regular editor at Wikipedia. I give times to AFC, recent changes which means reverting vandal edits also helping who needs help. I also edit and write articles in here at WP.

Nthep

Nthep is a bit of a WikiGnome with an interest in history. Most of his best Wikipedia work is done with feline assistance (see photo). He also prefers coffee or beer to tea. Favourite thing he's learned from Wikipedia - that he's not an intellectual because he can't listen to the William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger

He who never makes mistakes never makes anything - so apt for Wikipedia. No-one should be afraid to try and edit, as anything can be repaired if it's not right.

Writ Keeper

I've been here for a bit over a year now, doing various things like dispute resolution, new page patrol, and (of course) the Teahouse. I'm an admin, so I do those types of things, too. Questions are good: ask them of me or anyone else here!

I think it's time for us to recognize the differences we sometimes fear to show.

I also have a pretty good understanding of Spanish, so feel free to ask me things in Spanish if you need to. También yo hablo Español, y si se necesita preguntarme en español, Ud. puede!

Go Phightins!

I've edited on Wikipedia for about 18 months now, but I've really been on more in the last three. My contributions are concentrated mostly in sports related articles; I am part of the NFL WikiProject, Baseball WikiProject, Politics WikiProject, and a few others. I am reasonably well-versed in Wiki-Policies and, if I don't already know the answer to your question, I can find out in a timely manner.

At present, mostly what I do at English Wikipedia is reading Wikipedia related stuff. Hence I can give answers to most questions without difficulty. I was a new editor feedback responder but after it was undeployed, I have been answering questions here at the Teahouse and the Help desk. I enjoy helping out other users.

I've been knocking around Wikpedia, and been knocked around Wikipedia for years. My Wikipedia motto is "get things done" - I have worked on content, templates and robots - and on helping other users. I like solving those tricky little technical problems, or helping editors to work together.

Bilby

Bilby has been active on Wikipedia since early 2008. He is an academic working in IT and IS, so to an extent Wikipedia is part of his day job as well as his hobby. Bilby mostly focuses on photography, copyright, public art, and anything where the research looks particularly enjoyable.

I love the collaborative environment on Wikipedia – it can take effort to make it work, but it is far more rewarding than I ever imagined. My favorite moments on Wikipedia all involve working with other contributors to build something better than what we could do on our own.
