Hello all!. My name is Historyday01. I joined Wikipedia on July 2, 2011, but I have only been seriously editing pages since November 2, 2019. I joined Wikipedia to contribute pages or other material to the website to make it better for those that want to use it. I will say that I appreciate those that are willing to work to make pages better. On the whole, the people on here have been nice, so that has been positive, although some people have unfortunately sneered at me in the past. While that is partially my fault, as I get passionate about topics, and also the fault of specific users who are also as fiery as me, I am trying to be more zen about editing and not get so worked up about it. This is my first account, although I have an account I don't use anymore, as I created it for what seemed like an inane school project, editing the archival appraisal page. Apart from this, I like history, especially the modern period of history, and I enjoy watching animations and films, especially those with LGBTQ+ characters. For now, my Wikipedia editing focuses on LGBTQ+ characters, from non-binary characters to pansexual characters, asexual characters to non-binary characters, intersex characters to polyamorous characters, bisexual characters to lesbian characters, and all in-between. From November 7, 2019 onward I have heavily edited List of animated series with LGBTQ characters page and its various offshoots, including the recently-created List of animated series with LGBT characters: 2020–2024 page. I also started dipping into editing pages about autism as well, and have also begun editing pages that I created like Adult animation in the United States, while updating various pages with entries about LGBTQ characters in webcomics. I edited some archives-related pages in 2021. According to XTools, I have done over 29,800 edits (I'm coming up on 30,000)! Apart from the pages previously listed, I'm most proud of the Vivienne Medrano, Arryn Zech, Africanfuturism, Karma's World, Mage & Demon Queen, List of fictional vegetarian characters, and List of cross-dressing characters in animated series, which have all blossomed since I created them!

Anyway, I like drawing, writing, and writing fan fictions. I also, unequivocally, support Black Lives Matter. I have reflected the latter in part by creating four split pages from List of black animated characters, specifically pages for these animated characters in the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s. My main language is in English, so if you are going to post on my talk page, please use that language. I use he/him/his personal pronouns. I oppose many forms of discrimination, but I didn't want my page to get filled up with boxes. In order to fulfill WP:SOCK, my alternative account is User:Historyhermann1993, although I don't use that account. I am most proud of my pages on history of LGBTQ characters in animation, which have since been consolidated into LGBTQ themes in Western animation (boldly created it on Sept. 25, 2024). I have also included a lot of what I like on User:Historyday01/Userboxes, for those that are interested in going there. Have also edited, as of late, articles about labor history of the animation industry in the United States, history pages for Guyana, Zimbabwe, Mexico/U.S. barrier, and many others!
